It's shocking Google dared to increase price

An a hidden thing.. it's ufs 3.1.

A phone at this price should be ufs4

after reading the few reviews and comment here, it seems that the pixel 9 / pixel 9 pro XL is acting "normal" for a pixel.

-> battery drain
-> telco/wifi issue
-> slight lag/performance/stutter issue

not to defend Google or be a fanboy, but i doubt Google will ever change their ways. it's either you like pixel or you don't. at least with android we have many choices.

as for pricing, pixel normally drop price pretty quickly, so maybe that is the "fair value" for the phone.
*
I think it don't drop quickly but there will be discounts every now and then, back to original price until pixel 10 comes out

Next upcoming black friday is nov 29th

I wonder Malaysia sets will get discounts then too? That's the earliest discount we can expect?

After reading this tered, I don't think it's worth 5k-6k.

I don't think so since Malaysia don't practice this
Well it is up to individual and luck I think as some may have lemon unit and some don't understand pixel environment .. very new user to pixel

For me all is good and working as expected. I have used with the pixel since the nexus days

My 2 cents
*
Will reconsider then. I also searched the internet if black friday sales, there has been no discounts in malaysia for apple

Discounts on 11.11 seems to favor mostly on lower spec.. 128gb, 256gb

I am planning to get 512gb

this year no significant upgrades also USD100 up, next year if really use TSMC chip, doubt will only be USD100 up.  brows.gif

One of the reason google went with exynos because it's cheaper

Now, really see if go full custom with TSMC, sure expensive. Way more expensive than iPhone.

Hope Pixel 9 Pro can see discount biggrin.gif

iPhone 16 and 16 Pro prices way competitive than Google Pixel 9 line up in Malaysia.
Though days ahead let's see how they sustain
50 50 pixel might cheaper since both iPhone 16 and 16 Pro will start with 128GB🤐 as standard
iPhone 16 Pro Max 256GB = RM5999.00
Google Pixel 9 Pro XL 256GB = RM6199.00
*
I knew it this is why they wanted to launch earlier

Come on Google, enough this price for Exynos

Huge discount time!

i mean just leave the Adaptive Connectivity On, because it will switch between 4G and 5G depending on your usage. 5G more power hungry in general, but a short burst of 5G for large data download 5G is more efficient than 4G as lesser time and power to be used on download then it switch back to 4G for more standby signal efficiency.
*
So does that mean if I don't use much data, like I'm not into videos, but I only do social media scrolling or whatsapping.. like twitter, it will keep me in 4G to save battery? Because for the task I'm doing, 5G is not necessary as long 4G signal is good.

You said "switch depending on usage"

Is this fact though? Maybe explains why some people have only 4G most of the time..

For those that face unreasonable battery drain and weird % battery drops by restarting, that shouldn't be the case, especially for the latter. I have restarted my phone twice randomly today and the battery % stays the same.

I would suggest doing a fresh flash of the factory image via the Android Flash tool and flash all partitions. When I first got my P9 also, I noticed the battery drain was high. So I did a fresh factory image flash and set everything up again, its tedious but now my phone is working fine. Very happy with the battery. Screen on time is not an indication, but last night from 100% charge to 50% battery, my SOT was close to 5 hours, and this was a full day use.
*
You mean your phone consumed 50% for 5 hours SOT?

If I'm right then p9 has fixed battery drain issue with it's tensor.

I'm still skeptical to get p9, but I'm also waiting for pro version.. but only with discount, not retail.

QUOTE(cruzzmz @ Oct 9 2024, 12:06 PM)
Yes the batt % is a bit weird after reboot
Maybe will be fixed next week I hope in A15

They ask U to shipped where?
U bought it outside malaysia?
*
So you also having battery issue?

QUOTE(clement5949 @ Oct 9 2024, 11:05 AM)
unfortunately, none of my friends use telegram.

but i just think the whatsapp consume the battery most.

ytd i took my screenshot of my battery of 42% at 4:12pm then i restart my phone after that my battery is showing 26%.

I contacted google CS, they told me to ship the phone to them and they will replace to me. but this is so inconvenient for ppl like me that only have 1 phone sad.gif

Then i restart again, the 20% of battery came back, so weird
*
For other phones, whatsapp is fine. So it is definitely pixel issue.

Yes, that's right. 100% full charge to 50% battery left, SOT about 5 hours. I don't get this all the time but it is about there, definitely an all day phone for me. I was waiting for the Pro too but it's taking too long haha and I wanted a MY set.

Edit: This is the 9 Pro XL

That is actually pretty good already, but you've been on wifi? Not cellular data?

after update, i was expecting the battery life will be better. but i notice the battery life still not good. i am on android auto this morning for a 50min drive, the battery also dropped nearly 8%

Display was turned off the entire time? Sorry, I do not use android auto

Were you navigation using the phone's data/gps?

We don't even get the 80% battery charging limit... Damn really double standards

How on earth such feature could be region limited is really crazy

QUOTE(clement5949 @ Oct 16 2024, 05:17 PM)
actually if i do factory reset after install also same like fresh flash right?
*
Usually we do factory reset, but android upgrade has improved so much that it is not really necessary, and besides looks like there is not much changes anyway.. nothing is messed up. So not necessary to factory reset, unless you so free and willing to link bank all the banks or accounts you may have.

QUOTE(kezsz @ Oct 16 2024, 07:05 PM)
Yes.. The cooling period is what stopping me from resetting the device..
*
It's not just that since it's only 12h so it's not big deal, you can do it right now 10pm and things will resume at 10am tomorrow

It's some of the banks.. like maybank need to go atm, public bank need to go atm also.. and then you're stuck for another 12h

It's not that . It's when you put pixel against a 2 year old phone and the latter can perform way better.. pixels tensor can't even beat snapdragon 888 in performance and yet it's label as a flagship.

Even producing lightroom editing the pixel is struggling.. I never had such issues with my 1+9 before.. and that is why the pixel is just lying in the box for now.
*
1) While I agree with that is true for previous gen of tensor, have you tried g4, before saying this in pixel 9 forum?

2) Is this incorrect (888 vs g4 (won)): https://nanoreview.net/en/soc-compare/qualc...oogle-tensor-g4

3) This guy tested lightroom. Skip to 8:55 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MsRwR6YJSwQ

Hey guys, long time android user here but first time pixel user.

Been using Huawei for the past 7 years but also been eyeing the pixel line since the Pixel 3 XL.

Never really had the chance to try up until recently when it was officially available via CelcomDigi - got myself the P9P XL.

I've read about some of the issues with Pixels and some say it's not for the faint of heart.

I've had my P9P XL for a couple of weeks now, just saw the update for Android 15.

So my question is, should I proceed with the update? Are you guys facing any issues? Seems like a mix bag where some have no issues at all while others are facing some minor software issues.

By the way, really liking the P9P XL so far.

Thanks in advance.
*
Just postpone the update, don't update right away. Give it a week or two.

If it's still the same update available, then you proceed to update.

You can't postpone forever though, I think at some point auto install will take place.

Can't really tell since I changed to full resolution the moment I set it up. What's the point of having high res display but not using it?
*
All has pro and cons, and actually preference.. photos are usually uploaded into cloud anyway

High resolutions makes image and text look good

But using lower resolution, can save battery and also actually, better performance.

It is going to be very slow for mbb to update if only pixel users face this

Anyone know someone with non-pixel with a15 having this issue?

Strange how bank want people to have updated devices but they themselves didn't update their app to support the phone with the most latest android security patch
