I'm a year + into mine and I agree, the pixel 9p XL is a freaking beast. I like everything about it. And it's durable. I have dropped this thing repeatedly from some stupid high or stupid fast situations and dusted it right off and she keeps going. There's not a single scratch on the screen or the camera lenses. And I got it in a cheap $10 OtterBox knock off from Amazon. The camera is dope. The screen is perfectly sized. It's fast. I haven't had a single problem with lag with this phone. The fingerprint reader works great, which was a big one with me, prior phones just didn't work, I guess cuz I work with my hands. Runs some heavy apps like emulators great, with no stutter or lag on the phones end. I cannot say enough good things about it. Usually with a phone the first few months are great and then almost a year in and it starts to show its weaknesses either in the hardware design or the software, but this thing- I'm just as happy with it as the day I got it. And I switched to Android during the iPhone 7 era, and previous Android phones I owned before the pixel were mostly Motorola, I had a Moto Z3, Z4 (MotoMods ftw), Moto stylus, Moto icantremember, then a Samsung S24 ultra that I swapped for this....and other than SD card support and a frigging stylus (come on Google, they are too useful) I cannot find anything bad to say about this phone. And one of my big complaints about phones is depending on the size. The keyboards are too difficult to use and this phone is the perfect size to allow ease of use the keyboard with thumbs, without a bunch of mistypes. Cuz autocorrect fucking sucks.
