Pixel 9 Pro XL Stays Ahead: A Dedicated Telephoto Sensor is a Must-Have
A recent hands-on experience with the Galaxy Z Fold 8 has made me realize that its foldable form factor is not enough to replace my trusty Google Pixel 9 Pro XL. I had initially planned to upgrade to the Fold 8, sidelining my Pixel as a secondary device.
However, after some reflection, I decided against it, citing the missing dedicated telephoto sensor on the Fold 8 and the lack of perks like Video Boost that are essential to my everyday routine. The Pixel's camera has proven to be unbeatable, with thousands of photos taken and hundreds of videos recorded without any fluctuation in quality.
I also appreciate the Pixel Launcher's theming capabilities and fluidity, which I find more appealing than Samsung's One UI. Furthermore, the screen haptics on my Pixel are exceptional, making it a fantastic experience to type thousands of words every day.
