SG set pro xl 512GB cheapest you can get is like 1.1k SGD thereabouts. If you stay in JB and got friends in SG, can probably ask them tumpang buy with the relevant codes/promo.

What code to get this?
I'm traveling to SG next week, wouldn't mind shipping it to my office.

My sincere Review of Google Pixel 9 Pro XL.

I am never any fans boy. I based on experience.
I am shock on why people love on Pixel, maybe last time it was cheap, then I accept.
Maybe it is because of vanilla UI, maybe of Camera. But... seriously the performance and battery life... hmm...
Now it is selling premium price but not that level.

Following experience with full speed (no battery saver) and full resolution (sorry I don't use the resolution in half which is default setting).

  • Look - 1st time I feel Pixel look very premium and pretty - that one of the reason I am so want to have it.
  • Camera - Outstanding, the best camera I ever use. Seriously awesome! Can I said the only good of Pixel is camera. 😅
  • Screen - It is very nice no doubt.
  • Loud Speaker - Very good and nice output with bass.
  • Interface - I do love the vanilla UI, it is very nice well done.
  • Reception - it was ok to me and similar performance as my another phone in 5G and 4G performance.
  • Performance in daily usage - at beginning very laggy, after sometimes now it is smooth but still sometimes without any reason it will have scrolling smoothness issue. Open apps speed is ok but not wow instant like any flagship in the market. Common usage also cannot 100% butterly smooth is seriously not good in year 2024 on a RM 6.8K phone! I totally cannnot accept even very rare got not smooth stuttering scrolling issue. Now is year 2024 not 2004.
  • Performance in games - come on! even Lazada Havest games also cannot run smoothly! This is truly shock! even my 2 years ago Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra also can run smoothly, don't said my butterly smooth of iPhone 15 Pro Max. This is a very basic games and it cannot run smoothly, you can seen slighly jerking on the game animation and this is not a 3D games.
  • Phone update - OMG! OMG! OMG! How slow it can be, it even stop and appear message due to I am using the phone, ok now I let the phone idle with update page on top open, after more than 1 hour, now just appear ask for restart. OMG! Am I using a < RM 1k phone?
  • Gemini Advanced - too many blocking, even ask for draw cartoon human also said cannot draw human... faint... and the recognizing is so poor, a tattoo guy can recognize as a lady? What? and can recognize something not there, for example I show screenshot before it recognize that tattoo guy playing guitar? OMG! they is no guitar there and no such tattoo image also. I think the AI is hallucination!
  • Battery Life - slighly better now but still very bad. I feel like I am using Samsung Galaxy Flip 3 which had tiny battery, but this phone battery is big! I doubt it is 5060mAh.
In short summary - Google Pixel 9 Pro XL to me is only good at stunning camera.
It not worth the price of RM 6.8k as it can't even meet my very basic expectation for a flagship phone should have.

Sorry if my short review make you unhappy or whatever, I am talk on my experiece and what should have by now.

Appreciate your review.
Yes RM 6.8k for this quality is not worthy
