Google Pixel 9 Series (9/9a/9 Pro/9 Pro XL/9 Pro Fold)

I was planning on skipping the pixels this year, but after seeing the regular Pro 9 at Best Buy, holy crap it feels just like my iPhone 15 pro (which I love). It felt so incredibly well built. I got my preorder in. Still keeping my first gen Pixel Fold over upgrading that to the Pro 9 Fold though, don't like that they made that one bigger.

Have been having exactly the same thoughts about the 9 Pro Fold...

I love the size and form of my Pixel Fold as it is...

I know the new one is lighter & brighter, but I've had no issues so far and still think it's a superb device

I had ordered the Spigen Slim Armor Pro case via Amazon UK but it got cancelled as they went out of stock. That would have been a good way to judge the size properly in the hand...

How many going with the XL size over the smaller 9 Pro?

I'm so torn, as I've always owned the larger Pro phones or XL versions, but lately just wanting a bit smaller phone that's easier to navigate on the go one handed. But worried if I get the 9 Pro I might immediately regret the size. Ugh. First world problems.

I actually wanted the 9 pro, but it wasn't available for the crazy deals, so I went XL.

The pixel will always be my second or third phone, so the smaller size is more optimal.

9 XL because my eyes are shot and I need a larger screen to properly see things without having to constantly zoom in.

I cancelled and reordered several times due to the minor scratch on my 7 Pro screen and if they'll give me a lower price. So tonight I decided to uncheck the box that says to send it back if the value changes. I was also going back and forth on the colors, porcelain vs hazel. I decided to go with porcelain since it looks real classy and it blends with just about any case. I think I would have gotten bored with hazel on the XL since my 7 Pro is also hazel. What's weird is, it went to shipping status in less than 12 hrs.

Well. I made the mistake of cancelling my Best Buy order because I wanted the Hazel 9 Pro XL instead of the Obsidian… Best Buy is now offering me $640 for my iPhone instead. FML. I had assumed the $1099 trade-in promo would last through the pre-order period. I guess I am no longer getting a Pixel.

BB won't honor the initial trade-in value despite receiving an e-mail from BB last week stating that my trade-in value is good for a week. I don't have the energy to argue with them. I'm so mad.

Battery life was my main issue with the P8P so going XL to get the best battery life possible. Plus I do enjoy large screens.

IIRC last year you told us you are in Law school and you won a free phone last year on a return technicality. If so, time to take BB to task. :p

Honestly, I expect battery to be amount the same if not slightly worse with all the Gemini AI stuff Google is running on the 9 Pro series this year. There's hope for better batter life but I am ready for disappointment.

That's crazy I would definitely get on with someone to get it reinstated.. I know you're not in the mood to deal with them but maybe later on give it a go.. which iPhone are you looking to trade in?

Am I the only one that's not really interested in this Gemini? Lol I get it it's the new thing. I'm totally okay with my Google Assistant. I think I read somewhere that you can use the Google Assistant even though Gemini comes as default?
