    Pick-up was super smooth. End to end with trade-in absolutely no issues. The phone works great. I traded in my iphone 12 and I couldn’t be happier. Screen is bright and responsive, OS is smooth, the feel of the phone in hand is excellent. The curved body and weight distribution make it feel very premium.

    I have been using pixel phones since Google Pixel 1 and the most recent being Pixel 8a. So not a big difference for me from pixel perspective but what I really like is the Gemini out of the box. And as with all other pixel phone, the photos are beautiful. And plain android experience . No complain so far

    My original intention was to replace my Samsung Galaxy S21 that was dying with the newest Galaxy available at a reasonable price. I was in a hurry and none of the stores in Austin Texas had any in stock and I need a phone the next day. My alternative was the Pixel 9, which I found at the Best Buy store in South Park Meadows in Austin. I bought the phone and set it up the night before going to Costa Rica. The setup went well and I was semi-functional when I boarded the plane. I continued my setup on the plane and luckily it worked extremely well during the entire trip. I am very pleased with the Pixel 9.

    Amazing Google product. Was a big change for me moving out of apple product family to Google, but the seamless transition made it so much easy. Plus camera quality is really good and the phone is sleek, not bulk

    Not a big fan of this phone. I've had Google phones for several years now but this one is too heavy. The camera is not as great as they think it is. The flashlight isn't as bright as the older models. This phone is not comfortable in my hand. The buttons are hard to push. The Gemini function turns on when you barely touch the back of it which is annoying. Not all websites function. It's rather glitchy. This phone cost a lot of money and I don't think it's worth it. Guess I have to wait a few years for a better model. I just think my Google 4A was a much better phone. I still have it and use it for other things. All I use this one for is a phone.

    This is a fast, light phone with a beautiful display. I was worried it would be too small for me coming from a Pixel 6 pro, but I love the size and it fits a lot better in my pocket.

    We love Pixel phones and they just keep getting better! The purchase and trade in process with Best Buy was easy. We are retired and less than tech savvy and the whole process was seamless.

    Got a good deal for trade in with Best Buy. The phone is good so far. No complaints except for initial hiccups of transitioning from iPhone to pixel. my 1st phone outside of Apple so it’s a big change for me. The trade in process was easier though it took a little while for the employee.

    Really solid device for 650 plus tax. Coming from Samsung eco system, it's very similar. They all do the same stuff and at a fraction of the cost. This phone stays much cooler in use, which was my biggest gripe with Samsung. Would recommend.

    The phone is great. Much of the information from my trade in phone was not transferred, however, and I will have to pay someone to finish the job. Fortunately, I was able to transfer some information and pairings, but there are still some gaps.
