News I was wrong about the Pixel 9 Pro XL

[AC News]

I criticized the Pixel 9 Pro XL at launch, but after using the device, I realize I may have been a bit too harsh in my initial assessment.

I have also noticed the improvements but the screens still scratch super easily. Like a towel could leave scratches if not fine enough. I believe it's the screen coating but still extremely easy to scratch and other sites have written about the problem. That is my only gripe currently. I really wish they would address the issue and do something to protect them better like Apple does for iPhone screens. Mine was just in my pocket with no keys or anything and I noticed later that day it has a few small scratches. Kind of ridiculous for a 1200 dollar device.

I'm sorry you had small micro scratches on yours. I usually add a screen protector first thing on every phone.

Sure pay over a grand for a device with half the hardware of a true flagship, my S23U is a better phone than that and it was 1200 when I got it. I have not been impressed with googles hardware and the tensor chip is just garbage.

It's almost as if rushing to get an article out isn't always the greatest move?

They're junk and most people who educate themselves before a purchase know this. Has it been 10 years now???? still they have hardware failures on DAY ONE?
Pixelite to the max you are! Enjoy your phone! SMH

Any phone brand and model will have hardware failures on release date. Nothing is perfect.

Thanks, I will enjoy my phone until it gives me a reason not to. I'm heading back over to chat with the adults now. Have a great day.

100% Amen I just love how people just think their opinion is the one and only. Just keep it moving is my go-to favorite saying. Especially over here since we don't have brand loyalty and a lot of us will use different phones.

That's so true. I'm using Samsung now, but in the past I've had Moto, Nexus, and LG devices. Each one had/has things I loved and other things I didn't like as much. However, none were terrible. I've used each one until I felt it was time to get something new.

Exactly no phone is perfect. I’m using an iPhone for years and there’s always a few things that I’m always scratching my head. I get it sometimes you get a lemon but that could happen with a phone a car and it’s OK not to go back to that brand, you don’t need to crap all over everybody else’s opinion if they’re having success and enjoy it.

People can have their opinions - even passionate opinions - and I am okay with that. But when they attempt to insult others with juvenile name calling to make some kind of silly point (that often only they understand), it just proves that their opinions are emotionally, and not factually/logically, based. My experience has been that you can't have a meaningful dialogue with someone who is letting their emotions dictate their views/arguments.

Mod Note:

I did a clean up in here let's keep it civil and not go at each other, thank you!
