Is anyone underwhelmed by their P9 XL Pro? I upgrade from P7 and honestly, I wouldn't be able to tell from day to usage other than the zoom cam.

I've downgraded from a 8 pro to a 7 and the only thing I miss is the zoom camera.

Got the 9 Pro replacing my 7A, immediate thing is the ultrasonic fingerprint sensor, I was used to fast biometrics from Apple, so it was a real step back on the 7A. First time migrating data from Android<->Android since I did my HTC to Nexus 5 back in the day, much smoother now. I didn't even remotely need the upgrade, but alas I wanted it. Last tech upgrade for a long time hopefully.

Ended up ordering the 9 pro in black from idMobile directly

£179 up front and £30 a month is hard to sniff at. I should get around £440 for my 246gb iPhone 13 Pro which makes it a tasty deal.

Now the question is what case to get?

Was looking at changing my Iphone 13 pro max for a 9 Pro XL .

What's the change been like for you.

I ended up cancelling the order and getting an iPhone 16 pro instead so I'm useless to you

Contract is up for renewal, currently have an 8 pro. Can get a 9 pro XL for roughly £500 over the 24 months once I trade my 8 and sell the pixel buds 2.

Worth it?

I don't think so personally. Not a massive difference between the 8 and 9 other than the design.

This is the answer I was hoping for, dropping down to SIM only makes my wallet happier

Bro it's like 7.4% faster processor and and extra 15 nits of extra screen brightness. It's like totally worth the upgrade!

Just done the android 15 update, if you search it's now showing

I've had it a few hours now and yet to spot a single difference. Anything to note?

I ordered the 9XL with a P7 pro trade-in (£540).
I hear many horror stories about the PCS trade-in program, so here's me praying to the gods.

Updated to 15 as well. Only major difference is I can have split apps pinned to the task bar on my fold, but apart from that, nothing else. There's also the preview when doing the back gesture but I usually do that so fast I hardly notice it.

Not much change, a few minor tweaks. Some added theft / lost phone security you can enable

lmao.. I know. buds 2 will probably sell them off. I think they increased the trade-in values (guessing its not having a hot summer)

Android 15 must be the most disappointing update to date ... Private apps (Samsung has had that for years) apart from that there really isn't much going on

_Jimlad_ · 16 Oct 2024 at 18:03

It's a feature drop at best

There is also a 5% promo code floating around and if you have an AMEX card they have a £100 cashback on £550 spend.
