    The Pixel 9 remains a solid phone, with one of the best cameras available, and one of the least bloated Android experiences.

    Can't beat bestbuys price! Upgrading from a very old phone that couldn't hold a charge and started to freeze. This pixel 9 can last me for a good day and half without a charge.
