Customer Ratings & Reviews

As someone who loved the Pixel 4 for many years, I skipped the 5 and officially left the Pixel fan club after the 6 came out due to its buggy performance. Well I'm happy to say that the Pixel 9 has exceeded my expectations. Is it perfect? No, not at all, but after using the iPhone 15 Pro, Samsung S23+, S24 Ultra, and the Z fold 6, the software of this phone is a breath of fresh air. Everything just works and I don't have to deal with duplicate apps or OS stutter. Not only is the design of the phone gorgeous, but the software too. It's like having an iPhone that's actually fun to use. I can't believe I'm saying this but Gemini has been so useful for recipe ideas, house chores, and school work. I absolutely love it compared to Siri, Bixby, or the old google assistant -- and they're improving it every day. I also love that it's integrated with all the platforms I use on a regular basis: on my laptop, on this phone, Google docs, Google Sheets, Google Home, Gmail , etc... The biggest issue with AI is the way its integrated. A ton of people can't find a decent use-case for it because developers clumsily stick it in places it doesn't belong. Trust me, this one "belongs" and doesn't get in your way. It's not perfect... My CONs might be that some apps aren't great with the Tensor processor (and android in general). Social media is especially egregious. Snapchat compresses videos and photos so much that I feel embarrassed posting them. The filters are laggy and choppy. Zooming within the app is a mess.. The same could be said for instagram and all other social media. I really hope Google does something to motivate these developers more. It's such a shame to have a phone touted as one of the best at photography & social media -- only to have its apps hold it back. There's also a considerable lag when attempting to pull up your photo library within these apps to post a pre-taken picture. I have to way about 7 seconds for things to load but it's only in IG and snapchat so seems like an app issue. Lastly, the screen brightness calibration is poor. It gets plenty bright in direct sunlight but indoors the adaptive process is way to dim for my taste. No amount of resetting that seems to fix the issue. I really wish they'd up the baseline brightness a bit.

Excellent Phone, Phone csaptures perfect pictures. It offers great photography, seamless software, and solid performance, the Pixel 9 is a top-tier option.

Needed a new phone because my old one was, well, getting old. It couldn't hold a charge anymore and kept crashing on me. As for the pixel 9, I haven't even come close to testing out all it can do. But so far, I've enjoyed the renewed battery life. I can get around 40-50 hours off a full charge. (*I don't use my phone for much beyond browsing and calls and texts.) Picture quality is definitely much better than anything else I've had before. I'm looking forward to seeing what else I can do with it. Solid phone for the price. Even better at a discount.

Excellent product. I'm so happy for the exceptional stay of this Open box phone. In other hand, this is the best phone, recommend 200% for people who don't care to play in a phone. The best Android experience ever and amazing photos and videos.

This phone is sweet! I switched from an Iphone 16 plus to this Pixel 9 and have no regrets. On paper, the pixel might look like it falls short of others but it is so well optimized that it is noticeably faster and snappier than any other phone I have used (I have used an iphone 16/16 pro max and S24 Ultra in the past year that I am comparing to) 120 hz screen adds tons of value to this base phone. Camera is also great! AI on this actually works too if you care about that sort of thing.

Bought this phone since it released, and I've really had no complaints on it. It's pretty responsive and receptive to most of my needs of a phone, the camera is pretty nice, and having all the great features of a Google-based phone (Ex: Screen Calling) are an immediate plus on top of a decent battery that can last me more than a day with the right use. Consider me a fan of this Gen of the Google Pixel.

I recently purchased the Pixel 9, and it has exceeded my expectations. The camera is simply outstanding. What sets the Phone apart is its pure, stock Android experience. The interface is clean, and free from unnecessary bloatware. Regular and timely updates are a bonus. The performance is smooth, and multitasking is seamless. Overall, it combines an incredible camera with a sleek and efficient user experience. Highly recommended.

Perfect phone. Everything is smooth. Great camera and screen.

If you are android - this may be the time to go all in with the pixel. sleek, easy to use, fantastic all around device.

I don't find the camera bump excessive or ugly: the phones don't rock when they sit flat on a table, and that's a massive boon. I like the flat display panel, as well as the flat edges. The squared-off design is easier to hold, and your grip won't interfere with the touchscreen like on smartphones with "waterfall" displays that curve around to the sides where your fingers grasp the phone's body. Just know that the Pro phones have glossy edges that attract fingerprints,

I was skeptical on Gemini feature and AI tools but they are pretty neat. I wouldn’t say that these features are worth getting the phone for, but they are still cool features that you may or may not care for. Everything else is as you expect from a pixel phone: solid camera, good battery life, and the OLED 120 hz display is top notch. My only gripe is the back camera bump, idk what they were thinking with that, but it’s whatever. Good phone nonetheless!

The Pixel 9 is fantastic — excels in several areas. Its camera is stunning, capturing incredibly detailed and vibrant photos, even in low light. The software is top-notch too - smooth and efficient user experience. Plus, the design and Google's clean Android interface make it a great to use. If you're looking for a reliable and powerful phone with a great camera, the Pixel 9 is definitely worth considering. I switched from iPhone and will not going back

The Pixel 9 is a great phone overall. The performance is fast, and everything feels smooth, from apps to scrolling. The camera is probably the best part—it takes amazing photos, even in low light. I love how easy it is to use, and the design looks really sleek. Battery life is okay but could be better—it sometimes struggles to last all day. It's a bit pricey, but if you're into Android phones and want a great camera, the Pixel 9 is worth considering.

I recently purchased the Google Pixel 9 at Best Buy. The phone’s OLED display is vibrant, and performance is smooth. The camera excels in low light, but battery life could be better. Overall, I’m happy with my purchase and recommend it for Android fans.

Excellent Phone with great features, super fast, bought mainly for camera and photo edit. Perfect for me.

I'm coming to this from a Pixel 5A 5G. I've had the phone about a week. The transfer process was very straightforward using a USB-C to USB-C cable. The new phone retained the apps, customizations and shortcuts from my 5A. The battery life is very impressive. The in screen fingerprint reader works well but requires a bit more pressure than the the reader on the back of the 5A. Works better with damp fingers. The camera is excellent.

Solid upgrade over the pixel 7a. Good features camera is much better in low light. All day charge no problem and up-to-date security updates are a plus. Just works for me. This has been my 4th pixel phone. My phone just always works.

Great phone and good Features on it. It’s not as advanced as other android phones but holds it’s quality.

The Pixel 9 strikes a superb balance between flagship-level features and everyday usability. It offers impressive performance, refined design, standout AI tools, and excellent longevity—all for a solid value in the Android lineup.

We're beyond the point that phones structurally differ in capabilities. Although they might in features, my experience hasn't been fundamentally different from my prior 4 year old iPhone. That having said the experience has been great. Transitioning seamlessly from one to the other was easy, battery life is great, camera solid, and it even allows you to call and get called. Only complaint would be the stream of notifications to help you start using all these features that it's packed with, it can be overwhelming.
