Customers are impressed with the superb camera quality, smooth overall performance for daily tasks, and amazing battery life.

    Bought for my wife. Upgraded from a Pixel 5. Everything transferred wirelessly. Popped in old sim and everything worked perfectly. Couldn't be happier. Great price and wonderful trade in promotion!

    It's a great phone, just like my P8, but truth be told, it's basically the same phone. It does tend to have better battery life, faster finger print scanner, and more ram. I would of stuck to my P8, but the trade in deals are too temping.

    Definitely a step up from my 4a 5g, but I definitely miss my headphones jack. Battery life as expected is way better and honestly the main reason I got a new phone. If You can get it for $600 or less I highly recommend it.

    I love Google Pixel when it comes to Android and always been very happy using them. Pixel 9 is a great phone with very good battery life. The only thing I feel that is front camera could be little better. It's really value for the money. Can't see any other phone better than this in such a low price
