    Everything is nice about the phone, BUT i would rather go with the galaxy s25. Better camera and my biggest complaint is the screen, it looks washed out compared to the galaxy and there really isnt a way to adjust it. Other than that the phone is good especially getting the latest updates first.

    I have only had this for less than a month, but I find the Gemini feature fantastic! Very helpful..the screen is a little small, but bigger than the one on the pixel 5 which is my old phone. I'm getting all the android updates now like Android 15. The lastest update available. Very pleased with my new phone!

    Battery life with gps and screen on is incredible. I'm working on my phone with gps 6+ hours a day plus an hour of YouTube before bed and I only have to charge overnight. Haven't found anything to complain about after a month.

    Updated from Iphone 12 to Pixel 9, like the customization of the Pixel phone over Iphone, display is clean, camera quality is much better with more options to change the camera setting to get the perfect pic, have not played around with AI features yet but looking forward to it.

    Moving to pixel 9 from 6a was not a huge jump in terms of performance and features, but well worth it with the sale price and trade-in promo. So far, everything works great and I expect this phone to last me 2-3 years at least.

    Nice upgrade from the pixel 6. I like the phone's, software, it's nearly identical to the pixel 6 so there was no learning curve. Signed into the new phone and it just switch everything over. The connectivity of the pixel 9 is way more reliable too. The screen is also much brighter and the camera is better too
