Any bro or sis here recommend getting P9P XL when P10 come out? Any issues with 9?

Since specs wise 10 is so similar and meh compared to 9.

Will 9 price drop near launch day?
Pixel phones are usually for the loyal supporters who like stock Android and their latest updates.

If too nitpicky, just skip the Pixel phone. Find other brand.

Buy the A series or during sale for better budget.

Do any of you guys use an HDMI dock that has passthrough charging with your Pixel 9s? I am planning to buy Pixel 10 and wanna order a dock that supports both HDMI out wihle allowing the pixel to charge at the same time.

What do you mean by "burn in"? Pixel camera color science really very washed out sia when you compare it with xiaomi like that.

burn - in => as in testing it for a week to make sure it is working 100% under load and roaming with the new e-sim. Else would return it back to Google while return policy still valid.

Yes - all the pics above are all untouched. If I use XM's AI and Leica filters..the pics are even better for XM as they remove the glass reflection and other enhancements.

Example of same pic with XM reflection removal:

yes. I feel the same way too. all taken with default settings. I turned off XM's Leica Vibrant settings too.

I think 9a depends alot on the s/w to get the photos. XM just uses the big ass 1" sensor as brute force pixel captures.

I think i will drive to the beach or mountain later to do more pixel 9a photo and video tests..see how much battery it drains (the XM drains like dracula that woke up from a century sleep under heavy photo/video taking)
