The best phone i've ever had. Better pictures than any Iphone including the 16 Pro max by a mile. RCS is equivalent to Imessage.

I had the Pixel 8 before purchasing the Pixel 9. I liked my Pixel 8 very much but I love the Pixel 9. The new design looks and feels very premium. It feels buttery smooth. I like the new features including the Screenshots app, Pixel Studio, and the added camera features. The screen is even brighter and better than the Pixel 8. I am very happy with my purchase
This review is from Google - Pixel 9 128GB (Unlocked) - Porcelain
I would recommend this to a friend

I love this pixel! It's the best one that I've owned yet and I've been buying them since the 6. I believe it's light. It's sleek. It's very very pretty. The screen is beautiful. Pictures are just gorgeous. I couldn't go wrong with any other phone.

If you're looking for a clean android experience, the pixel is the best phone, no added apps like Samsung does. The 9 has the OLED screen which you can definitely tell the difference if you're upgrading from a later pixel.

This is my 4th Google Pixel. I've owned a 3a, 5a, 7, and now a 9. The Pixel continues to dazzle. The AI features on the 9 are incredible. I took a picture of our friends' pool and quickly added an alligator. What fun! More importantly, it is working in my all concrete townhouse where the 7 was spotty. The new modem really helps.

I recently traded in my iPhone 12 at Best Buy for a Google Pixel and couldn't be happier with the deal I got! Not only did they offer a seamless trade-in process, but I also received $100 in coupons, making the entire experience even better. The staff was helpful, and the transaction was smooth. Highly recommend Best Buy for great deals and excellent customer service! Five stars!

The Google Pixel 9 (128GB) is a cool phone. The camera is the best feature. The Google software is good and it has cool AI features. It has a good battery life but the battery can get a little warm at times. But overall nice phone.

I have had a few pixel phones over the years, but so far, this has been my favorite since the Pixel 5. I also have last year's Pixel 8.
This year's Pixel 9 feels much nicer in the hand than the Pixel 8 does. I love the design of the Pixel 9 and in particular I love the rear back camera design. It finally feels like Google has made a phone that has a great build quality that is as nice as the current generation iPhone and Samsung offerings. The Pixel 9 phone moves up to their Tensor G4 processor.The battery
life is much improved over the Pixel 8. The Pixel 9 does not get hot like my Pixel 8 did even under fair heavy use of the camera. The Pixel 9 has a 4700 mAh battery, supports fast charging and wireless charging. I finally feel like I am getting a full day of battery life on a full charge. I used an older pixel charger that came with my previous pixel, but it still charged fairly fast. I was also able to wireless charge with an Anker wireless standing charger even with a silicone case on the phone.
The Pixel 9 also now supports WiFi 7 and Bluetooth 5.3. I only have a WiFi 6E router in my home and max out my 500mbps home internet bandwidth on it. The display on this phone is fantastic. It looks great and is really bright, I mean really bright, totally usable in daylight. Video looks great, and the display has VRR (Variable Refresh Rate) 60hz or 120hz. YouTube and Netflix content looks great. This year the Pixel 9 has changed its fingerprint sensor from the previous year, and while it is definitely better I do not feel that it is as good as fingerprint readers where the sensor was located on the back of the device. I continue to get missed presses now and then, especially after washing my hands, but that being said, it is MUCH BETTER than the Pixel 8, which had a pretty bad fingerprint sensor.
The cameras on the phone are all very good, I especially love the macro focus on the rear camera. Speaking of cameras, the single most impressive thing this phone can do is a new AI feature called “Add Me”. Add Me lets you take a photo of a group and then you can ask one of your other party to take a photo of you at the same general angle. The phone then shows you the previous photo and lines it up with the new person in frame as a preview of what the new photo will look like. AI basically then combines both photos together into a new AI composited one. For the most part, when this works, it works very well and it can be hard to discern that it was not shot that way naturally. I think this will keep getting better as time goes on and machine learning (AI) gets better. I am someone that mostly travels alone with my wife so there are always moments where it is either her in the photo alone, or vice-versa. I wouldn’t take every photo this way, but this is something I will definitely use quite a bit.
With the newly designed Weather app, AI is used to summarize the weather for the day for you. I guess the Gemini AI is combining multiple weather reports up and averaging them out?
Much like last year's Pixel 8, this year's Pixel 9 will have 7 years of software support. I do hope that Google keeps this promise going forward.
Gemini Live is similar to the previous Google Assistant except it will talk back to you conversationally. You can set up the voice from several different voices and they all sound very natural. When asking Gemini Live questions, you can keep talking back and forth with it like a conversation, including things like suggestions on any topic you might want. For example, you can ask it for ideas for a party, and later ask what kind of food you might want to have, and how old your guests might be, etc. It surprised me as to how useful this would turn out to be.
Overall, I think this is a great phone for the money. It is very fast for everything I use it for and the cameras are fantastic. Everything is very snappy in the operating system. Moving in and out of apps is a breeze. I especially like the design and feel of the phone.

Love this phone! Took some time to get used to the features as I switched from iPhone. Back camera works great! Battery life is excellent with fast charging.
