    Almost Perfect!

    As someone who loved the Pixel 4 for many years, I skipped the 5 and officially left the Pixel fan club after the 6 came out due to its buggy performance. Well I'm happy to say that the Pixel 9 has exceeded my expectations. Is it perfect? No, not at all, but after using the iPhone 15 Pro, Samsung S23+, S24 Ultra, and the Z fold 6, the software of this phone is a breath of fresh air. Everything just works and I don't have to deal with duplicate apps or OS stutter. Not only is the design of the phone gorgeous, but the software too. It's like having an iPhone that's actually fun to use. I can't believe I'm saying this but Gemini has been so useful for recipe ideas, house chores, and school work. I absolutely love it compared to Siri, Bixby, or the old google assistant -- and they're improving it every day. I also love that it's integrated with all the platforms I use on a regular basis: on my laptop, on this phone, Google docs, Google Sheets, Google Home, Gmail , etc... The biggest issue with AI is the way its integrated. A ton of people can't find a decent use-case for it because developers clumsily stick it in places it doesn't belong. Trust me, this one "belongs" and doesn't get in your way. It's not perfect... My CONs might be that some apps aren't great with the Tensor processor (and android in general). Social media is especially egregious. Snapchat compresses videos and photos so much that I feel embarrassed posting them. The filters are laggy and choppy. Zooming within the app is a mess.. The same could be said for instagram and all other social media. I really hope Google does something to motivate these developers more. It's such a shame to have a phone touted as one of the best at photography & social media -- only to have its apps hold it back. There's also a considerable lag when attempting to pull up your photo library within these apps to post a pre-taken picture. I have to way about 7 seconds for things to load but it's only in IG and snapchat so seems like an app issue. Lastly, the screen brightness calibration is poor. It gets plenty bright in direct sunlight but indoors the adaptive process is way to dim for my taste. No amount of resetting that seems to fix the issue. I really wish they'd up the baseline brightness a bit.

    Even with the limited storage these phones offer they work well for all yoir daily tasks. I cant speak to the Google operating system because I use a custom one, but this phone works really well with the custom one.

    The phone has a great battery life and it's really responsive. I had an iPhone before this and the change was drastic but overall very similar in performance and battery life. The camera will struggle a little bit on not well illuminated areas and some apps will not use the entire screen sometimes but if you are not bothered by those things, it is a great phone.

    You HAVE to check out the Pixel 9 if you're thinking of upgrading! Seriously, it's amazing. Working really fast, and the AI stuff is next-level helpful. The camera is insane Google nailed the low-light shots again, plus the video quality is finally top tier! Smooth design and that 120\text Hz screen is gorgeous. Best Android phone out right now, 10/10 recommend!

    I've been using Pixel phones since Gen1 and this is just what I needed. It's camera was a big improvement and is perfect for taking my family photos/closeup shots. I also appreciate a much better battery life. AI is included but easy to disable if, like me, you prefer the regular Google assistant.

    Was able to use my Google Pixel 6 for 3 full years before issues and decided to buy the Pixel 9. The phone is smaller in compared to the Pixel 6 but faster and way more responsive. The AI integration works well but I did not buy the phone for that feautre. Setup and data transfer was easy. All I had to do was turn on the new phone and scan a QR code on my old one. The traditional setup questions occur and the transfer begun. Over bluetooth and connected with a cable, the transfer took 30 mins but could have been made faster if I was connected to WiFi. Overall, the phone performs great for the value. Highly recommend.

    I bought the Google Pixel 9 and I’m very happy with it. The phone is smooth, the camera quality is excellent, and the display looks great. Battery life is good for daily use, and the clean Android experience is a big plus. Overall, it’s a very good mobile and worth buying.

    Great device at a reasonable price. We tend to keep our device for many years. I really like that this one offers ongoing updates without an expiration on support from Google.

    This is one of my favorites phones I've owned. It is fast and reliable and just all around solid with plenty of battery life for my use. The phone recharges fast for my needs. Sometimes quirks pop up like the screen will freeze, but that's a computer for ya. I sporadically ran into small freezing with my iPhones in the past. I really love that the phone has a great camera and seven years of security and other software updates promised by Google. You can't get that kind of software support from most companies.

    I have had Pixel 6 Pro, Pixel 7 Pro, and Pixel 8 Pro. This time I am trying a smaller one: Pixel 9. It is amazing. I love the finish and the smoothness of the phone. It solves the biggest overheating problem in Pixel 8. Overall, I would recommend the phone to any one who wants to try a real Pixel experience!
