Unboxing the Pixel 9

all right so let’s unbox the little version first now I went with the peion color hit me up in the comments and let me know am I am I a banana head am I pronouncing that wrong peoni I never heard of that before but hey it is what it is let’s see now I got some little uh arrows right here let’s see how this works okay little arrows now this is um the eco-friendly environment mental friendly packaging okay now I peeled off the little arrows okay now check this out I think this slides out as you can see I haven’t watched any pixel videos so I don’t really know how to open this angle levels increasing what’s what’s this all right I’m about to do it y’all you haven’t seen beast mode in a minute okay there it is all right all right so this slides out the the packaging it definitely feels eco-friendly very cardboard

In the Box

let’s see what you get inside the box now this is going to be usual books and some ejection tool okay in a little um little pouch this is gonna be the USB type-c the USB type-c charging cable and this is going to be a device okay the pixel 9 in Pion very zesty I know I know but it looks nice actually it does look pink I thought it was going to look more like a rose gold but it does it definitely looks kind of pink all definitely looks pinkish

Hands-on and Initial Thoughts

let’s see now of course we’re going to talk about this in a minute let’s go ahead and power this up now when I do my unboxings I try to keep it I try to keep it friendly you know I don’t want to start you know getting too Petty right off the rip but there’s a few things that I don’t like and we’ll talk about those in a minute matter of fact we can talk about those right now look a lot of y’all think that I don’t like pixel phones and that’s not the truth all right if you watch my videos if you watch any one of my top five Android phones or top 10 phones the pixel is always in my top five okay I just have a lot of petty gripes a lot of petty gripes

The Power Button Gripes

and one of them that just got on my nerves uh you know the power button all right now let’s see let’s see let’s let’s look at the nine real quick okay yeah they still going with the power button on the top okay I like the power button on the bottom as opposed to on the top and let me show you something real quick if you check out let’s take out my top Android phones right look at my top Android phones all have one thing in common all right if you notice every single one of them have the power button on the bottom Google is the only phone that has the power button on the top hey and like I said that’s very Petty very Petty but there’s things I got to mention okay

Unboxing the 9 Pro XL

so here’s a quick comparison with the uh eight and a nine okay now this is going to be the big boy now I’m excited about this again people think I don’t like pixel phones I’m very excited about this you’re gonna have the same thing on the inside let’s see Sim injection tool usual books and okay of course I went with the porcelain is you there’s your cable and of course now both of these phones no charger in the Box all right no charger in the Box let’s all say it together Samsung Google Apple nothing Motorola

sometimes Vivo Sony Sony put the charger in the box now one thing I will say Google a not claiming the fastest charging speed so I can’t hold them for that but still I want my I want my charger though I want my charger

 Build Quality and iPhone Comparisons

now look this phone right here woo hold on I got let me pull out my iPhone for a second this actually feels kind of exactly like an iPhone let me see yeah the way they built it it feels like an iPhone and I always tell people I I and look this is this I always tell people if you had an iPhone for the last 10 years right and the last Android phone you had was maybe 10 years ago you had a Galaxy S5 or a Galaxy S4 and you’re like oh I don’t like Android phones they be lagging they be lagging I always tell all of my hardcore Apple Mafia Hitmen all right anybody who never had an Android phone in the last 10 years I always tell them use a pixel phone all right if you want to feel what Android is supposed to feel like use a pixel phone first then a Galaxy then everything else but if you want to see how smooth and how fluent Android is supposed to run pick up a pixel phone that’s one thing I’ve always said pick up a pixel phone it’s the iPhone of Android now with the um new design they kind of made it they kind of made it like an iPhone I ain’t mad at that though I ain’t mad at that

 Design and Identity

all right so let’s see again you see I always I went just like this you know how many times I pick up my pixel phone and I’m trying to power it up I’m like yo this the batter is dead I keep forgetting power button on the top okay now here’s the 8 Pro versus the nine Pro eight Pro versus the N Pro now I will say this I gotta I I Gotta Give Google credit for not not falling into this pattern all right for not falling into this right here let me show you what I’m talking about for not falling into this everybody trying to get these big giant stov top cameras on the back one plusus y’all part of the problem too these big giant camera islands on the back shout out to Google for keeping their identity all right keeping their identity they going with the uh some people calling this the robot the you ever watch Star Trek remember that dude from Star Trek that had the visor some people calling this the visor back shout out to Google for keeping their identity okay now I will say my favorite is the Galaxy I like the waterfall kind of camera look but I do like this I like this also okay so here’s the 9 Pro XL versus the eight Pro let’s go ahead and power this up

Frame and Finish

and I will say I like the I like the finish on the side now if you get the the regular nine it’s going to be the PO the uh brushed brushed metal frame okay you see it kind of has the the matte feel to it but if you get the big boy you’re going to get the polished frame and it has that cold steel feel to it okay okay Google let me set off y’all let me let me set everybody’s phones off on the back very simple very clean very de shout out to my girl she got me saying that dumb very de I say right deir very deir here some results from the web all right okay calm down calm down on the back Simple and Clean just a little G logo okay can I can I could I actually rock this peony color I probably could I probably could why had to take get to a high voice I probably could that means I’m capping I I don’t know I I probably could though just drop a case on it and call it a day but the porcelain color this is the color that I ordered the fold in okay the porcelain now let’s see in real in our reality it it looks white it kind of looks silver like the silver iPhone the whitish iPhone but yeah let’s see do I got any juice okay welcome to the pixel all right let me go ahead and put some of my information in and then we’ll Breeze through the OS Talk Amongst yourselves

Flossy’s Top 5 Android Phones

all right yall so we back in now I’m still in the process of copying over all my information so in the meantime let me show yall my top five Android phones now when I say Android phones that’s why I’m leaving out the iPhone these are just my top five Android phones

1. Samsung Galaxy s24 Ultra

Number one on my list I’m going with the Samsung Galaxy s24 Ultra five gangster Alpha Omega Supreme AKA Galactic 3.0 this is for me pound-for-pound the best phone app okay this is my favorite one especially in titanium I like banana head yellow but this is my all-time favorite phone so far of 2024 that’s number one on the list

 2. Oppo Find X7 Ultra

Number two on the list now usually okay Samsung Knights stand up by the way usually I would say the xiaomi Warlords have the number two spot but this year all right this year the number two spot is going to the Oppo regime the Oppo Fine X7 Ultra this is my favorite camera okay this is my favorite camera phone okay let’s see we still copying okay this phone has my favorite camera now arguably we could go with the vivo but this has my favorite camera when it comes to portrait mode shots this is the best

 3. Xiaomi 14 Ultra

Number three xiaomi Warlords okay I need y’all to stand up this is my number three phone now on a side note I like the build quality better of the 14 pro but the 14 Ultra has a better camera I wish the 14 Ultra looked like this and the 14 pro look like this this one just looks so dope this is probably one of my favorite looking phones you know they they kind of went with the big Square camera but I’d rather the square camera as opposed to the circle camera with the little you know the little orange trim I love this one but for number three I’m going to go with the Shi 14 Ultra the camera is insane also okay super fast battery charging speeds

 4. Vivo X100 Ultra

Number four on my list all right Vivo Triads the X100 Ultra now some people are saying this is the best camera I do love the camera on it but I like the Oppo camera for portrait modes a little bit better the night shots on this is ridiculous I mean the camera this is all about camera now the the software some people like the Vivo software some people don’t all some people like it some people don’t I actually like it I I actually like it

5. Google Pixel 8 Pro

And number five this is what this is exactly why I’m saying Google gangsters stare up stare up stand up all right Google gangsters number five on my list the pixel 8 Pro now I’m not I’m not trying to get all racial and but black people all right if you got dark skinn you’re going to love this camera I they must have some black folks working at pixel HQ because trust me this is the best camera for black people all right now if you got light skinn or you know whatever complexion you are whatever race you are you might not understand what I’m talking about but a lot of times black people when we take photos at night we look extra dark all right we be on some Wesley type at night even even me and now I’m not even Wesley Snipes black but at night time I’ll be coming out black and on a lot of these cameras the pixel all right whatever software they using they got it dialed in correctly not to mention the smoothest OS all right the smoothest Android OS experience the camera is ridiculous

Biometrics and Updates

my biggest problem with pixel phones is the Biometrics usually suck okay they’ve been getting better over time which is weird because remember the pixel 4 the pixel 4 had the iPhone level Face Unlock and then it just went downhill I don’t know what happened you know I got a lot of petty gripes with the pixel phones but this is usually my work phone usually my Workhorse this phone never lags okay never lags the software is smooth and silky and you’re going to get all of the latest Android updates okay so I think this year I think this is going to be okay we all set bang I think this year this how my lineup is shoot back up I think this is how my lineup is going to look

Honorable Mentions

now honorable mentions I would say number six the honor okay the honor the Porsche Edition this is a beast right here okay ey all Blaster super fast battery charging speeds smooth OS this is a heavy hitter and then right after that I would go with OnePlus okay then after that everything else okay the OnePlus you know the OnePlus is just a little bit boring compared to everything else on the table all right so this is going to be my top five as of right now now I got to I got to use the pixel and see if the pixel is going to make a uh make a jump

Hardware and Ergonomics

but let’s go and check this out all right so I’m in the process of putting all my information just went in I’m getting tongue tired a lot today let me move all these phones out the way also if I had to do our top five phones in general I would say the iPhone would be number two right behind the Galaxy this would be my second favorite phone this is you know if you got family that has iPhones you’re going to end up using an iPhone a lot I know a lot of y’all always see me rocking Apple products and oh I’m I’m a secret iPhone Fanboy on the low no okay I do like iPhones but I use these more because the ecosystem I’m I’m I’m kind of in deep I’m kind of in deep that’s my excuse

The Build Quality

all right so let’s take a look at the 9 Pro XL first of all the build quality it is insane I got to say it feel so good in the hands ladies you know the procedures okay you got the satin finish on the back now y’all remember when I unboxed this one I told y’all the back of this feels like some silk panties I know I know this one right here okay they did it exactly the same now I would say maybe the the satin this one feels a little more satiny Let me let me see yeah this one feels no I’m I’m kidding all JS aside though all right now this one has the glossy back okay glossy back this one has that satin finish on the back I love it or if you could just say matte matte feel on the back

Button Placement and Ports

you got the camera Island triple camera setup LED flash remember you got your thermometer so you can take your temperature now on one side the power button you know if this going to be your only phone then you’re going to get used to the power button on the top but I like having the power button on the bottom or they could have at least put some ridges on it look I just I just I just felt that you see you see on the xiaomi you see how the power button has ridges on it so this way if you got the phone in your pocket or you’re just going like this you could clearly feel which one is the power button it should have had some ridges on that no IR Blaster okay now you see basically everything else in my top five has an IR blaster except for Samsung okay let’s see what else you got here what is this now this is going to be some new sensor or something I don’t we got to figure all this stuff out this side is super clean on the bottom there’s your SIM tray USB typ-c charging slot speaker Grill okay camera cutout on the front

Testing the Biometrics

now let me see you see you’re GNA see me do that a lot now let’s see let’s try the fingerprint sensor okay now hold on a second okay now if you watch my channel you know this is one of my biggest gripes is a shitty fingerprint sensor and Google has been known for having some shitty fingerprint sensors let me try to do that without looking okay the fingerprint sensor actually looks a little bit better hold up I got to take it to my high voice the fingerprint go okay let’s try Face Unlock hold on a second oh we going to get three in a row bro hold up hold up hold up let me see something cuz just put in one fingerprint sensor on each I didn’t even go crazy with the 10 fingerprint sensors like I usually do oh can we get three in a row all let’s try face unlock on a f Pion okay that was okay I got let’s try to get three in a row okay face not recognized let me do that okay there’s one two I’m let make sure my mic ain’t blocking me three three in a row okay so far it looks like it looks like we got some better Biometrics

Software and Quick Toggles

now let’s go through real quick let’s get maximum brightness 3,000 nits maximum knage let’s see there’s all your quick toggles let’s see what else we got we got screencast screen record battery share okay mic access location hotspot color inversions let’s see anything else we need to see sound amplifier okay vpns by Google okay okay voice recorder let’s see uh okay now this phone is all about AI right this is going to be an AI phone right here

 Settings Deep Dive

let’s see let’s go over to the settings okay let’s see VPN private DNS okay that looks good let’s make sure we got uh oh that’s my save devices we got Android auto we got Quick Share Chromebook okay that looks good apps I don’t think we need to really see anything with that let’s go to Notifications we got bubbles okay Flash notifications you know I like I have the camera flash why not for my scumbag mode wireless emergency alerts why not let’s see hide silent notification St B no no no no no okay that’s the notifications

Battery and Charging

battery okay now again battery charging speeds that that has been one of the let me say this correctly that has been the bane of my Google phone existence battery charging speeds now look I’m not saying I need 120 W fast charge even though you got phones that have that I’m not saying that you need that I don’t care what the number is on paper all I know is I want to plug my phone in and 30 minutes later I want to walk out the door with 70% and better now Google claims 70% if it if if that’s true I ain’t going to be mad and when I do my full review I ain’t going to be mad personally I would like 30 minutes when I walk out the door to be on 100 but 70% I ain’t going to be mad that’s enough for me to get through the night that means I go I get home from work shower and shave okay and by the time I walk out the door or sometimes if I ain’t going to shower just come home you know if I had Taco Bell for lunch you know what I’m talking about come home you know let one loose run back out the door you know what I’m saying I need 30 minutes so 30 minutes 70% that ain’t going to be too bad but you do have let’s see uh adaptive charging okay there’s your wireless Power share

 Storage and Display

let’s see now usually we got to take something um off the rip you see I think they changed that I think they changed that let’s see standard battery save Extreme battery save okay adaptive charging okay use adaptive charging you now let’s see extend your battery life now I don’t want to extend the battery life I want the fastest charging speeds possible all right let’s see storage okay now 128 gigs I look I told y’all I am the Supreme peasant okay now I’m just going to be using this as my work phone so I don’t need one terabyte I don’t need 512 gigs and I appreciate Google for giving us a 128 gig version you see and look I ain’t I ain’t trying to swing on Google’s nuts right right now but I got to call out stuff that I like I hate when phone companies just because you’re buying the flagship version they force you to buy you know 256 gig 512 gig maybe you just maybe you got another phone already maybe you got an iPhone and you just want a pixel phone to play around with let me get 128 gigs I like that I like that that saved you a 100 bucks actually if you think about it

Display Customization

let’s see sound of vibration okay okay okay okay so far I don’t know if y can tell but I’m hyped that the Biometrics actually work let me try that one more time since we the biometric is actually working okay let’s go to display okay now let’s see adaptive brightness now and one of the things that I don’t like about pixel phones too is the lack of customization and this is what I mean you see I like to have I like to have my fancy always on displays let me get a little wipe down right now I’m saying I like to have fancy now this face unlock is just almost too fast you see I like to have customizable always on displays customiz this see almost too fast customizable lock screen wallpapers this is how Face Unlock is supposed to work bro but pixel man let me try that again you see let me try that again oh bro now let me not get too excited because a lot of times my gripe with the pixel Face Unlock was at night when I was shooting my night photos for this you understand how annoyed I was when I you know when it’s night time I try to take I don’t want to take pictures of people in their car people think like what am I doing so so I like to wait till there’s no traffic and take my photo and then you you know the the red the light turns red and you’re ready to take that photo and you go like this and the face unlock doesn’t open you you ain’t going to like that but right now direct lighting it looks good yo it looks good

Always On Display and Themes

okay so we got a dynamic clock okay now play let’s see um tap to check phone okay we leave that on lift to check phone leave that on Wake screen for notifications okay everything looks good let me see something yeah you see this was my gripe let me wipe it down this was my gripe this is the always on display so that means you and three of your boys all y chilling y’ all got pixels y’ all hanging out everybody’s always on display all looks the same everybody’s always on display is going to look exactly the same now when you chilling with anybody else you’re going to have your customize always on displays you see with the Galaxy I don’t even I don’t even have to pull out the Galaxy I think you already know what time it is with that it is what it is okay that’s display hey that’s smell of my gripes

Screen Resolution and Style

let’s see um 30 minutes dark scam let’s see uh Tech size gesture navigations Colors Let’s see we got natural and adaptive let’s go with natural I like look a little bit brighter okay um auto rotate based on based on face Okay resolution ooh no wonder I no wonder I was I couldn’t really see it we had on the low res y all right let’s get to the high res y smooth the display okay so you stuck on 120 if you turn it on all right but it’s ltpl so that means variable refresh rate for minimum minimum hertage to maximum hertage all right let’s see anything else we need to see wallpapers style now one thing I like about the pixel phones too I like the way Everything Changes up

Wallpapers and Extras

now let’s see I’m going to go with um I’m going to go with something something vibrant you got a bunch of different colors you got some new wallpapers Okay that’s very um that’s very zesty let’s see let’s go to more wallpapers now um I’m going to have my favorite live wallpaper in a minute let’s see what we got okay we got we got the transparent okay why not this is now a lot of people been asking me um we’ll do both a lot of people asking me what um what wallpaper is that i’ be using I actually got to um set it up first that’s transparent weather that’s the one that looks like this so people asking me how do I have my my um wallpaper look like this with the actual clouds and stuff in the background that’s a app called transparent weather

Weather App Setup

matter fact let’s see did it download yet okay transparent weather okay it’s actually set up hold on let me show you something all right so if you’re going to download the uh transparent weather get the paid version all right get the paid version then you’re going to click those three dots you’re going to go to weather background and download animated backgrounds okay that’s how you’re going to get the you see now I got the birds flying in the background it’s a bright sunny day so you see ain’t no clouds and all of that but um that’s one of my favorite wallpapers

Safety and Security

all right so the wallpapers inst styled let’s see um did we see anything else we need to see okay I’m going back all the way back all right so that was W accessibility if you’re hearing or visually imped okay it looks like everything is going to be right here live captions okay sound amplifier Flash notifications hearing devices all right let go to uh security and privacy okay you got syst updates remember seven years of upgrades so these are the kind of phones that you don’t got to buy every year and and honestly I don’t think you really got to upgrade if you got the I’m not matter of fact let me not even say that yet because I got to use this one first

SOS and Alerts

both of them still have the thermometer a lot of these um a lot of these AI features they’re going to make their way to the pixel 8 Pro you already know that but um we’ll see we’ll see cuz a lot of this stuff with this phone is all software based right as far as the hardware ain’t really too much different let’s see um devices okay that’s that okay location services safety and emergency now this does have the satellite SOS okay emergency SOS car crash detection okay now dudes like me I got to leave that on you never doubt let’s see um crisis alerts okay noi yeah why not crisis you know emergency location services earthquake alerts why not we had an earthquake in New York a couple months ago you never know unknown tracker alerts bro somebody tried to somebody try to roofy you all right somebody try to roofy you and then drop drop a little air tag on you all right you got the unknown track alerts I like that silence notifications while driving no wireless emergency alerts let’s see extreme threats severe threats Amber Alerts those Amber Alerts be coming in the hot y test alerts am them Amber Alerts but I respect it though I respect it

Final Thoughts on Build

Launcher Gripes

let me see now let me not celebrate too fast okay there it is okay so far we looking good though we looking good let’s try that face unlock one more time yeah we looking good if now if it works like this at night yall going to see me not complaining too much all right the thinnest foldable phone what is that what is that the thinnest foldable Flagship smartphone what is that my man super [Music] saf is that is that the honor which I already reviewed hold that that better not be the honor that better not be the honor hold up that better than not Anor magic V3 let me see um he must have the um International Version though uh he must have the international version I got the global version partner now and here’s another one of my gripes you see I want to have my my Google bar at the top if you if you pick up any one of my phones they all look the same you open up any one of my Android phones they all going to look exactly the same you’re going to see the Google bar at the top I hate I hate hate being forced to have the Google bar at the bottom okay I don’t like that not to mention I want to have my I want to have my weather my transparent weather at the top not this all right so if we go to customize

okay at a glance let’s see okay sensitive consci unlock personal yeah you know they still not letting you now this all the stuff you can add but they still not letting you move that there I don’t like that now of course you can use Nova Launcher or a different launcher but part of having the pixel is you know the pixel
