Customer Ratings & Reviews

I picked up the Pixel 9 for my wife, and it’s been a solid win. What stands out right away is the ease of use—this phone is incredibly intuitive, even for someone who doesn’t want to dig deep into tech features. The setup was quick, the interface is clean, and everything just works the way you’d expect. The camera quality is excellent. She’s not a power user or a professional photographer, but the Pixel 9 makes it easy to take consistently great photos with minimal effort. From casual snapshots to family photos, everything looks sharp and vibrant right out of the camera. While the Pixel 9 comes packed with AI features, most of those aren’t being used right now—and that’s okay. It still runs beautifully, feels fast and responsive, and delivers a premium experience without requiring you to dive into the bells and whistles. Bottom line: If you’re looking for a phone that’s powerful yet accessible, the Pixel 9 is a perfect balance. My wife loves it, and it’s been a great upgrade without being overwhelming.

Google really knocked it out if the park this year with the Pixel 9 (I think with the 9 Pro, 9 Pro XL, and mostly with the 9 Pro Fold)! I got 2 of these Pixel 9s for my parents and only time will tell if they're great in the long term, but the feel in hand, general speed of the Tensor G4 in day to day use, and cameras make this a very compelling option for most people. The lack of a telephoto lens isn't too big of a deal for most, and I don't foresee it being so for my parents. I daily drive Android and iOS, and I've never been compelled to use the iPhone for anything over any Android phone I've owned short of shooting video. Google's flavor of Android (yes, they own it, but they still customize the heck out of it) is my personal favorite, and does without all of the Samsung redundant apps and over the top glitz (for instance). The only reason I'd say anyone should upgrade to the Pro or Pro XL models over the standard 9 is if you need more camera options ("pro controls"), demand the best screen specs, and plan to use on board AI features (RAM bump). The Pro Fold is a whole different story that only intense tech enthusiasts and those with oodles of cash should be looking into. Throw in the promotions Google was (and hopefully will again) running for trade in, especially for iPhones, and it's an easy sell!

Phone is Great. It's better then a iPhone. The camara is better and the battery is never in red.

The Google Pixel 9 has been a fantastic upgrade for someone completely new to Android shifting from the iPhone. Standout features; AI photographic capabilities resulting in massive improvements to imagery and reimagining photographs trivially. The battery life has actually seriously entertained me by any substance, going throughout the day without a requirement to re-energize (and I am an analysis powerclient). I have to agree that the weather app is pretty awesome, it works great and looks just right. Everything ran well and it felt very intuitive even coming from iOS. There are barely any good cameras that can take the best photos. This is a pleasure to use when it comes to photography for Pixel 9 High-quality camera clarity, capturing beautiful photographs becomes easy; sometimes you get so inadequate response & clear Photos taken but innocence may be caught on film such as arrest records.

Got it for my SO and she loves it has enough storage for all the pictures she could take. Has plently of processing speed to do anything she needs wether it be streaming shows or playong games. The camera quality is fantastic and shes absolutely obsessed.

If you're a fan of the pixel series, this is a great installment. Beautiful screen, great camera, great battery life, and snappy performance. Two weeks in and no problems so far.

The phone it's excellent, it has a premium feeling on hand with a very Optimized performance, excellent camera, especially in low light conditions (better than iPhones). Plus you get 7 years of updates, good size, although it does feel a bit heavy.

Great Upgrade! The Pixel 9 is a fantastic smartphone, offering an exceptional camera, smooth performance, and a sleek design. Its user-friendly interface, powerful AI features, and impressive battery life make it a top choice for tech enthusiasts. Google's software integration enhances the experience, making the Pixel 9 a must-have device.

A work of art, just beautiful. Stock Android is the best version with no bloatware unlike other flagship phones from Samsung. It feels great in the hand and seems faster than my iPhone 16. I liked it so much, I also purchased a 9 Pro XL.

Moved from an iPhone 12 to this phone and it is an upgrade in every way. Although the price for this phone seems a bit steep in comparison to what it offers it feels like a nice step up compared to Apple offerings for the same price. However compared to similar android offerings it seems to demand a premium despite not offering anything that differentiates it significantly. Wasn't too keen on moving to android but after using it for a couple weeks I've moved on from iOS. Keyboard is superior, battery and screen is better and the OS as a whole feels much more customizable. The phone itself has a great OLED screen with high refresh rates rather than the 60hz that Apple still uses... Cameras look phenomenal for pictures and the fingerprint scanner and face ID is great (although the face ID is lacking in comparison to Apple as theirs uses lasers that also work in the dark). The AI that is advertised does not really make a big difference for me in daily use although it can be a cool quirk for some things such as replacing backgrounds in photos.

Pixel is quite amazing! Best AI product in the market. Helping my student like any for learnings. Kudos! to Google. Camera - Good Battery Good Performance Good Touch Good

Best pixel to date. Camera is excellent as usual. Happy with the camera island over prior iteration visor look. Performance has been great. Awesome new way of transferring from older pixel with only QR code that was so seamless.

I've been using Pixel phones since Gen1 and this is just what I needed. It's camera was a big improvement and is perfect for taking my family photos/closeup shots. I also appreciate a much better battery life. AI is included but easy to disable if, like me, you prefer the regular Google assistant.

Replaced a Samsung A52. I have always had Samsung phones. This is my 1st Pixel. The battery life is not as long. I have not been on my phone all day and the battery is at 20%. This could be a setting (that I'm not aware of, because I've been through them all). The phone itself seems more durable. System runs smoothly with biometrics and texting/auto correct. Not as many personalization options as android. Takes really nice pictures. Overall, worth the switch. I do NOT like Google photos, as the storage runs out and it tries to make you pay for more. That's a 1st for me. Usually, video/photos use phone storage. I cannot figure out how to get them to save to the device instead. It will stop emails if it gets too full too. Not happy with that feature.

I've had a number of pixel and Google phones. The nexus , moto x4 pixel 5 and the 5a, the pixel 7 and now the pixel 9. There have always been improvement along with problems. The 9 is the same. Brighter screen , no light flash on finger print sensor, no heating problems so far. What I feel are issues: as with the 7 there are parts of the screen that seem unresponsive at times. Maybe the phone is just to slow to respond. A continuing issue is the fingerprint reader is still unreliable which is very aggravating. They refuse to go back to capacitive reader which is extremely reliable. The face detector only works in well lit aeas, and you have to wake it to work. I have also found android to be buggy. Speech recognition is about as reliable as the fingerprint reader, which I use all the time when texting. Their best model five was the pixel 5 which was the last pixel before they started with their own processor. The battery life is good but the camera is about average for a phone these days. I've had enough of giving Google a chance and moving on to another brand. Possibly Apple. At least you get better performance for your money and the face recognition is top notch. To me pixel phones aren't worth the money anymore, and that you don't get any value in them when you go to trade them.

I went from a Pixel 4a to this phone, Really gorgeous screen. Occasionally it gets a little warm to the touch, but not alarmingly so. You have a computer, the power of which could not be imagined even a few decades ago in your pocket. Some heat is to be expected. I normally mod my phones out with special loaders, etc. I think I'll keep the pixel launcher, because it seems quite easy to use, with an intuitive interface.

Camera Quality: The Pixel 9’s camera is highly regarded for its ability to capture beautiful photos effortlessly. Features like “Add Me” allow users to include themselves in group shots seamlessly.  • AI Features: Users appreciate practical AI functionalities such as call screening, live transcription, and photo editing tools, which enhance daily usability.  • Design and Build: The phone’s premium feel, comfortable grip, and unique color options like Peony are well-received

I’ve been an iPhone user all my life, but switching to the Google Pixel 9 has been a total game-changer! The camera is incredible, the Android experience is smooth and intuitive, and I love the integration with Google services. The screen is vibrant, and the battery life is impressive. The customization options are a huge bonus—finally, a phone that feels more personalized. I was hesitant at first, but now I’m so glad I made the switch. If you're considering making the move from iPhone, you won’t regret it!
