I am planning to upgrade from my current iPhone 13 Pro Max to Google Pixel 9 Pro XL.

I have tried out the demo units of the Pixel 9 Pro XL. However, I have a few concerns which I hope you guys could help me with.

1) I'm an active subscriber of Microsoft 365 Family plan for many years now, and I backup all my photos and contents in my OneDrive. I don't plan to continue using the 1 year free subscription of Gemini Advanced (with Google One 2TB storage) once it expires.

My current Google free storage stands at 15GB (81% used). Say I did backup some photos and stuff into Google Photo/Drive during the free trial and it exceeds the free quota and starts pouring into the paid 2TB storage, what happens to these excess contents that I stored once it expires?

I am aware that my storage would be automatically reduced to 15GB afterwards, but I read that I would need to delete contents until less than the free quota to be able to continue using Gmail, Google Drive, Doc etc. Is that true?

2) I noticed that some photo AI features, eg. Magic Editor, Video Boost, requires the photo to be backed up first. Since I am using OneDrive (and not Google One) to backup these photos, will I have any problem using these tools/features?

3) Upon expiry of the free 1 year Gemini Advanced, what features that would be limited/restricted behind the paywall? Gemini would continue to work without any AI subscription, right? What about Gemini Live, Pixel Studio, Call Notes, Add Me?

4) We are based in Malaysia. I'm aware that some features are region locked. Would these Call Assist features, ie Call Screening, Direct My Call, Hold for Me, be available in Malaysia?

Thanks in advance!

Hi, can I know where the demo units are on display? Senheng?

I was in Singapore yesterday when I tried em out, haha.

I’m currently using the S24-ultra, and i find the AI webpage summarizer really helpful. Can the pixel 9 series do this as well?

For people who wants to buy at Seng Heng be aware there will be service charges when paying with any of the rebate payment system

Spay I think will have rm70 service charge

Just purchased 2 tempered glass, not sure good or not. 😅

I'm one of the people. Currently testing the Pixel 9, but i definitely aim for Pixel 9 Pro once it becomes available. Hopefully it will by the time I return this pixel 9.

Any demo unit available in Klang Valley?

21/8 onwards will have demo unit but most likely p9 and xl only

Seng Heng and UR

Price , P9 Pro has better camera and etc and important for me is the size, but ya price is the main concern

What is rebate payment system?

1) once the free trial expires, if you exceeded the Google Drive storage space, there will be a grace period for you, after the grace period then they will automatically delete/remove the files that took the extra space, not sure how they select it though. but you can still use your Gmail or Google Drive, except if you want to upload more files into Google Drive.

2) currently you will need to upload/backup into Google Photo first before you want to use Magic Editor or Video Boost, if you don't upload, you can't use the feature.

3) i think Add Me is offline feature, the rest no idea yet, but i seriously doubt we will have Call Notes.

4) doubt we will have call assist features.

currently in malaysia? how's the modem? good?

I see..i went seng heng gombak today..hoping to see pixel with my eyes..got disappointed due to no demo unit..i want to see the different in size..

Testing the unit for Telco? Usually Telco has a phone testing team for new phone that is yet to release.

I want the pixel to replace my s24 ultra as my camera phone. My main phone now is Fold6 which unfortunately the camera isn't that great, especially the zoom lens.

So that's one of the reason i need that Telephoto lens.

Actually if you love this size, don't mind 60-120Hz display, rarely take selfies, and dont need telephoto lens, in my opinion just go for pixel 9. It is good enough.
Somemore now pre-order you will get free storage upgrade, which might not be around for pixel 9 pro later.


Ya but not for network. More on their system and apps.

Decide to wait for the physical set available then go play around a bit 1st hehe

after 21st
i will go see the panel is LTPO or not hahaha

Get the pixel fold lah ... for sure better than the remote without IR blaster that you have now hahaha

konlanfirm LTPO lah

Honestly maybe i don't know how to differentiate also wahahaha

I remember there is a website with some running graphics that can test and how difference between 60 and 120 hz. But not sure if there are better ones that can test the 1hz from LTPO
