    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.
