    Phone looks amazing and operates without hesitation! Google installed a different modem than the Pixel 8 so if you had connection problems they are solved now! It's always great using stock Android with no bloatware and having a device with 7 years of guaranteed updates!

    The Pixel 9 Glides

    It takes a little bit of time to adjust from one phone to another. Muscle memory is something not easily retrained, but the Pixel 9 has a smooth flow about it. It *glides*, it doesn't *thump*. Which is a great help to someone like myself who knows very little about smart phones, and even less about retraining my muscles. Lol?

    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!

    I recently upgraded to the Google Pixel 9, and I couldn’t be happier with its functionality. The phone’s performance is incredibly smooth, thanks to its powerful processor and ample RAM. Multitasking is a breeze, and apps load almost instantly. I'm upgrading from a Pixel 6, and this is truly a worthy upgrade. I abhor the fingerprint sensor of the Pixel 6. Looks like three Google team "fixed' this problem and I'm satisfied. But the price takes 1 start away. I think it should have been $200 less.

    This phone is amazing. Ive used this phone for about 1 week. Battery life would last me about 2 days on regular usage and with heavy usage (streaming videos, browsing and playing pogo for hours straight) it would last me the whole day with around 30% remaining at the end of the day. I've used the p7 in the past and the p9 is a huge upgrade. I have no complaints about this phone.

    The Google Pixel 9 is a solid choice for anyone who loves Android. It’s got a crisp OLED display, smooth performance with Google's Tensor chip, and the camera really shines, especially in low light. Battery life is decent, but nothing too special. If you're into Google's ecosystem, you'll love it, but don’t expect any huge leaps in hardware. It's a reliable, well-rounded phone.
