    The phone gets heated up quickly and the finger scanning is not as fast as you get in Pro versions. Not a good phone for multitasking.

    Best Pixel phone! Fingerprint and facial recognition haptics are way better than the Pixel 8. Modem is different so no dropped connections. 7 years of guaranteed updates and a flawless pure Android experience with no bloatware!

    I am not so happy with the Pixel 9. Their fingerprint and face unlock is not up to par like Apple iPhone. It does not unlock your phone when you are in dark. Feels little heavier than iPhone. So far, I have encountered an issue for one time where my google chrome app do not open the web page.

    It's a great phone. While the software experience is similar to the Pixel 8 series, the hardware is promising. It feels excellent in the hand. This is the first Pixel premium phone I'd say.
