Transcripts
hello everyone and welcome to the
channel here we go again another heavy
workload test for the all new Google
pixel 9 Pro XL versus the 15 Pro Max and
the s24 ultra in this video I will
answer one of the most important
questions pixel users have how much
better is tensor G4 when compared to the
previous generation the spoiler alert
the 9 Pro XL passed the test and
exceeded my expectations so let's find
out what happened if if you are familiar
with the heavy workload test you can
skip to the next chapter but if you are
new here the test includes four heavy
tasks for each phone to keep running
simultaneously for 30 minutes as shown
now on the screen without any crashes or
thermal warnings and here are the rules
all phones are running the latest stable
software version available at the time
of filming this video I will be using
cellular data instead of Wi-Fi with the
5G set to Auto the 9 Pro XL and the s24
ultra are set to their maximum
resolutions while the 15 Pro Max has a
fixed resol resolution which is lower
than the other two the 120 HZ refresh
rate is activated and the screen
brightness is calibrated on the same
light meter so let's begin all phones
started at 80% battery except for the
s24 ultra which is started at 79 as it
lost 1% while preparing the camera but I
will consider this in my calculations
the initial temperature readings from
left to right are 308° C 32° and 30.6 no
apps are running in the background
ground and I will start by initiating a
Microsoft teams meeting then enable the
screen sharing which you can see on the
secondary phone's screen then play a
2160p video on YouTube in picture
picture view plus navigating to Dubai
Mall in Google maps and all of this will
be running in the background while
playing Asphalt 9 right off the bat
starting the apps was enough to read the
15 Pro Max dim the display to be the
darkest the 9 Pro XL did the same but a
slightly less while the s24 ultra is
still holding up beside that let me show
you that the game is set to 60 frames
per second on all phones for the sake of
furnace and now let's count 30 minutes
the first thing worth mentioning is the
9 Pro XL Graphics is on par with the
other two phones unlike the 8 Pro of
last year which had noticeably worse
Graphics than the competition in the
same test back in genan 2024 the video
link is in the description if you want
to check it and my initial impression is
tensor G4 is certainly more powerful but
let's wait and see what's going to
happen somewhere in the second race the
24 Ultra brightness dropped to be the
lowest the 9 Pro XL was the brightest
and the 15 Pro Max is somewhere in
between the s24 ultra is very sneaky in
dropping the brightness which didn't
allow me to spot the exact time stamp
not only this but its Graphics started
to be worse than the other two phones
and to show you what I mean here's a
screenshot of the same exact scene on
all three the 9 Pro XL and the 15 Pro
Max look almost identical while the s24
ultra started to tune down some of the
visual effects like the light
Reflections on on the car's body plus it
doesn't look as detailed I'm not sure
what's wrong with the s24 ultra as it
never won this test while the s23 ultra
of last year was always the king so
let's keep going shortly after at the 3
minutes and 30 seconds Mark the iPhone
got a big hit on the brightness to be
the darkest the 9 Pro XL is still in the
lead and the s24 ultra comes second and
when it comes to the performance all of
them are still in a good shape moving a
bit forward the s24 ultra got its second
brightness drop somewhere in between the
third and four fourth race which I
couldn't spot its time stamp but here's
a screenshot from the previous race menu
now it's very close to the 15 Pro Max
while the 9 Pro XL is still in the
lead but after 2 more minutes at the 7
minutes and 4 seconds Mark the 9 Pro XL
had a small brightness drop but it's
still the brightest across the board so
far I'm really impressed by the 9 Pro XL
performance now let me fast forward to
the 10 minutes Mark to do a quick check
and show you how is it going from where
I see all of them are doing really well
when comes to the performance the pixel
is still leading the brightness followed
by the iPhone and the Galaxy comes third
the iPhone leads the screen sharing
quality as usual while the 9 Pro XL and
the s24 ultra are equally bad so let's
keep going until something different
happens unfortunately after 14 minutes
and 45 seconds the s24 ultra gave a
thermal warning and closed the picture
and picture window which exactly what
happened in gen 2024 test but after 18
minutes instead and the temperature
reached 46.8 de C when it comes to the
battery it consumed 8% dropping from 79
to 71 so rest in peace Samsung and let's
continue with the other two but let's
take a quick break to tell you more
about the channels wallpaper app

you will get lifetime access to all
world papers 12 new exclusive wallpapers
every week plus all the previously
mentioned features the download link is
in the description and I'm eagerly
waiting to hear your feedback so far the
iPhone and the pixel are still
performing the iPhone has the edge when
it comes to the screen sharing quality
while the pixel has a brighter display
and a slightly higher FPS so the game
feels smoother and now let's fast
forward to see if things will
change the iPhone performance kept
getting worse over time until it reached
the 10th race and that's when the game
started to lag more frequently as shown
in this example while the pixel kept the
same brightness level since the 7
minutes and 4 seconds Mark which is
great and the game play still feels
smoother than the iPhone but not as good
as what it was at the beginning of the
test from this point till the 27 minutes
Mark nothing changed but later the
iPhone performance started to get back
on track I assume that's because the
graphics of the last two races are not
as extensive either way this is a final
look at both before ending the video and
now let's jump to the numbers as both
made it till the
end starting with the temperatures the 9
Pro XL reached a Waring 48.6 de C versus
only 44.5 for the 15 Pro Max when it
comes to the battery the pixel lost 15%
versus only 12 on the iPhone side and
now let's compare the results both the 9
Pro XL and the 15 Pro Max finished the
test successfully while the s24 ultra
closed the picture and picture window
and gave a thermal warning after 14
minutes and 45 seconds so it's
disqualified temperature- wise the 15
Pro Max was the coolest at 44.5 de
versus 48.6 for the pixel and 46.8 for
the Galaxy the iPhone was also the most
efficient consuming only 12% battery
while the pixel lost 15% and the s24
ultra lost 8% in
14.75 minutes so the consumption per
minute is 0.5% for the pixel 0.4 for the
15 Pro Max and 0 54 for the s24 ultra
but there are some important points to
consider the pixel has a higher
resolution the game was a smoother most
of the time and the display was brighter
throughout the entire test but the
iPhone had the edge in the screen
sharing quality as always that shows how
each always prioritize things and based
on the count I will call it a draw
between the pixel and the iPhone while
the galaxy lost it for the second time
and for those who are wondering about
how better is the 9 Pro XL when compared
to the 8 Pro I would say it's at least
20 to 30% better I'm planning to make a
separate video comparing both but most
probably after the release of Android 15
so that's pretty much it for today that
was my heavy workload test between the 9
Pro XL the 15 Pro Max and the s24 ultra
thank you so much for watching and see
you in the next video
