After 1 year, I can confidently say the Google Pixel 9 is a game-changer. From the moment I powered it on, the experience has been nothing short of exceptional.
First off, the speed is phenomenal. Navigating through apps, multitasking, and even demanding games feel incredibly smooth and responsive. There's no lag or stutter, just pure, unadulterated performance that keeps up with everything I throw at it.
What truly sets the Pixel 9 apart, however, is its ease of use. Google's clean Android interface is intuitive and a joy to interact with. Everything is where you expect it to be, making daily tasks effortless. It's a testament to thoughtful design that doesn't overwhelm you with unnecessary features.
And then there's the camera – simply amazing. Whether it's vibrant landscapes, detailed portraits, or challenging low-light shots, the Pixel 9 consistently captures stunning photos with incredible clarity and true-to-life colors. The AI enhancements are subtle yet powerful, turning everyday moments into professional-looking photographs without any effort. It's truly a point-and-shoot marvel.
Finally, the absence of bloatware is a breath of fresh air. You get a clean, pure Android experience without any pre-installed junk apps hogging storage or resources. This contributes significantly to the phone's overall speed and responsiveness, allowing you to customize your device exactly how you want it.
In summary, the Pixel 9 is a masterclass in smartphone design and engineering. It's blazing fast, wonderfully easy to use, boasts a class-leading camera, and offers the unadulterated Android experience we all crave. Highly recommended for anyone looking for a top-tier smartphone without the fuss.

This is the best phone that I have purchased so far. I have had a Xiomi phone and a Sansung, but Google surprised me in the best way possible. Let's start with the camera. It is professional quality, great for taking pictures, making videos, and editing them. As for the voice recording, not only does it record your voice better that a microphone, but it also detects who is speaking and what they are saying. You can open all of your recordings on a special laptop website. As for display quality and speed, this phone has the best of both. Furthermore, the battery life is long, it typically lasts about 2-5 days for me (I use my phone almost the entire day due to my job). The AI features are really helpful, especially Gemini. Not only can you text Gemini, but also you can call an AI assistant and have conversations. Also, unlike other phones, the assistant only turns on when asked, so you can be assured that your conversations are safe. As a music enthusiast, sound quality was a huge factor in my phone decision. Google Pixel 9 did not disappoint me. Even without earbuds or a Bluetooth speaker, the sound quality is great. The graphics and the layout are awesome! Not only can you group and add all needed folders/apps onto your home screen, but you can also easily search for and view all apps that you have. One more really cool feature is that this phone automatically saves all of the pictures, documents, and other materials onto your Google account, so there is no need to worry about having one thing in the Gallery and another one in Google Photos- it is all already in one place! 100/10. I would absolutely recommend this phone to anyone!

I found myself questioning if I should go with apple's iPhone 16 this year or the pixel 9. The pixel has been on my radar for years now. I just never made that decision to fully switch over. But this year's design by Google and the craftsmen ship shown in the device made my decision. The battery life is amazing. I work a full time job and I come home with at least 30-40 percentage on an avg, some days maybe 20. The camera is so clear, the wide lens are the best quality you can get for a phone camera in today's market. Also to the AI features on the pixel help with a lot of niche tasks such as setting reminders, looking for those emails you may have lost, or simply getting those questions answered you have in your mind .The Gemini AI is a good ad on by Google. Great phone by Google.

Are you looking for a great camera?
Are you looking for a phone with great battery life?
Do you want to keep the same phone and experience the latest software every year for 7 years?
Do you want a smooth and clean UI on your phone?
if you answered yes to these questions, then this is the phone for you. I love the green color and pink loos wonderful too.
This is the phone, finally Google can be proud about.
12GB ram makes this phone truly future proof. Speaking about haptics, these are comparable to iPhone if not better.
You will not regret getting this phone. period!

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.

I've had the phone for a little over two weeks, and low-key it's pretty great. I upgraded from the Pixel 7 and while it wasn't the biggest upgrade, the Pixel 9 has fixed and refined basically all of the 7's little issues. The Baseline Pixel FINALLY feels like a flagship on the outside as much as the inside.

Google Pixel 9 is a powerhouse of a phone, with outstanding camera clarity and performance, seamless software, and stunning design. Also want to appreciate Best Buy delivery which was lightning-fast and hassle-free, and their customer support team was incredibly helpful. Overall, I'm thoroughly impressed with both the Pixel 9 and Best Buy's exceptional service

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

I've been a customer to Pixel phones since buying a 5a way back when they first dropped. From battery life, accessibility, and camera quality, they are the go to for an affordable phone that can also do it all. I love my Pixel 9 after having it a week and can tell I'll be using this phone for a long time.

Great Pixel phone for the price compared to same spec iPhone. Easy to use and Gemini i is hands down better than Siri. I was able to purchase the Pixel within 5 minutes of entering a local Best Buy. Just make sure to check online if the color, model is available to your local store.

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.

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!
