Coming from a Pixel 6, this is a nice upgrade. The Gemini AI is actually quite useful sometimes, and my Pixel 6 did not have face recognition, so that's nice to have on this Pixel 9.

Replaced older Moto Stylus. New pixel definitely faster. Miss SD card. Looking forward to additional android updates and hope this phone lasts thru all.

A nice phone with some nifty features, and I appreciate the ability to opt out of a lot of their tracking and AI features. $800 was also very good deal for an unlocked phone of such a recent generation.
My biggest issue with it is that I don't like the default Pixel Android Launcher, it blocked 1/3 of my home screen space from being usable even when I disabled the "At A Glance" feature taking up that space. Installing a new android launcher app remedied that, thankfully, but it made customizing my app shortcut layout and widgets a pain.

Best android phone that rivals the iPhone 16

The Google Pixel 9 is said to rival the iPhone 16 which does just that! This generation proved itself through the many new features that the iPhone doesn’t even have, such as wirelessly charging other devices like earbud cases or other phones that have MagSafe.

Upgraded from an older Samsung. It was a little painful since Samsung is proprietary in their notes, passwords, etc. I love the phone. Great reception and integration with Google apps.

This is a great phone. Coming from a OnePlus 12 and a iPhone 16 Pro this phone has so many intuitive features. I love the automatic song recognition and the speech to text is great. Because of the processor I do notice that it bogs down a little when I am doing anything intense but it happens only once in a great while. I wish the processor was in the league of the snapdragon but I’ll take what I can get for the
Pixel software.

Solid phone. Good camera. Would HIGHLY recommend getting a case immediately - the camera bump especially makes it snag-prone. I recommend dbrand as their case has built in magnets and accounts for the camera bump nicely. If you can swing the extra to get the 9 pro or 9xl, the specs are better, but if you can only afford the 9, would still recommend for a very vanilla android experience out of the box with no nonsense apps preinstalled

This device isn’t ideal for those who frequently make video calls, as it lacks the processing power to handle multitasking smoothly. During video calls, the frame rate often drops to conserve resources. GPS can be unreliable at times, occasionally giving incorrect directions through maps.
On the bright side, the camera quality is impressive, and the operating system is refreshingly simple. The swipe gestures, in particular, make navigation feel smooth and intuitive.

Love Pixel phones - this is my 4th one (2, 4a, 7, 9). Don't enjoy the price as much but that's why I jumped on Best Buy's trade in promo.

Picked up open box, been using it for three months.
Fair condition since it was missing cable, otherwise phone is perfect.
