Service center say monitor first. First customer to go to them with this issue. No solution given from google to them currently. So have to wait and see.

In any case. Made them take a note that i have gone to them today. In the event if it is a one to one exchange, it should be fulfilled if i go back to them.

I think device is too new to have a refurbished one though. It is only a week from the very first batch of people receiving their pixel 9

Pixel 9 and Pixel 9 Pro XL outperform the competition in terms of thermal management, but have significantly shorter battery life​


As a test on the YouTube channel TechDroider showed, the temperature management of the new Google flagships works very well. In terms of battery life, however, they cannot keep up with the competition from Samsung and Apple.

In a test by the YouTube channel TechDroider, the new Google flagships Pixel 9 and Pixel 9 Pro XL were put through their paces. Although Google has improved the battery capacity of both models, the test results were disappointing compared to other top models. While the Pixel 9 (4,700 mAh) and Pixel 9 Pro XL (5,060 mAh) achieved a runtime of around 10 hours and 25 minutes, the iPhone 15 Pro Max was clearly ahead with 11 hours and 44 minutes. The Galaxy S24 Ultra also outperformed the Pixel models with 10 hours and 47 minutes.

However, the thermal efficiency of the new Pixel smartphones is remarkable. A maximum value of just 40.9°C was measured for both devices, setting new standards in this area. By comparison, temperatures of 44.6°C were measured for the iPhone 15 Pro Max. The Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra even reached 50.4°C. The low temperatures could be due to the optimized heat dissipation of the new Tensor G4 chip. What is striking here, however, is that the base Pixel 9 does not have a vapor chamber, which normally contributes to better cooling, but still reaches the same maximum values as the Pixel 9 Pro XL.

In earlier tests, the Pixel 9 Pro XL was highly praised for its exceptional camera quality. It even secured second place among top camera smartphones in the DxOMark rankings. However, when it comes to gaming performance, the Google smartphone falls short of matching the capabilities of flagship models from other manufacturers. As early benchmarks had hinted, the Tensor G4's performance in gaming tests, particularly with Genshin Impact, was disappointing. It lagged 15% behind the two-year-old Tensor G2, highlighting a significant regression in gaming capabilities despite being a newer processor.

That's sad to see when it comes to gaming 😭, definitely a deal breaker for gamers for sure

I need to dig for a damn good reason to sell it now.... Tensor g4 overheating is not an excuse now sadly :(

Maybe g4 is not comparable to sd8g3 on benchmark score? :s13:
The teardown video doesn’t say much about the vapor chamber, but it does help dissipate heat from the inefficient TG4. If only they used solid copper instead

Ya lah, TG4 might lose in the benchmark race, but at least it doesn't need to visit the gym every day to stay in shape :s13:

The demo set at bugis challenger is even more obvious than mine 😭😭😭

Ya this one more obvious than yours. I wonder how widespread it is.

I see on Reddit they claim it might be software issue as they do not see the tilt when manually selecting the lenses in pro settings.

Saw on reddit that they suspect it is software issue. The camera tilt doesn't happen when you manually select 2x or 5x via the pro settings. Give it a try and see
Ya, on pro setting it's okay if i select the lens manually.
