This phone is amazing! I've been using it for the past few months and have been thoroughly impressed. The performance is incredibly smooth, handling everything I throw at it with ease. The camera is a standout feature, capturing stunning photos and videos with rich colors and excellent detail, even in low light. The design is also sleek and modern, making it a pleasure to hold and use. The battery life is also impressive, easily lasting a full day on a single charge. I highly recommend this phone to anyone looking for a top-tier mobile experience.

Love the phone takes great pictures and it's the perfect size.
It's awesome to finally have a Pixel that is Pro spec'd and smaller.
My main concern was the ability to game and while it doesn't run everything at Max, it's still decent.
Heat hasn't been as much as an issue as in previous models as well although I think other popular brands still have better heat management, probably because of Snapdragon chips though.

Ordered this on August 13th so my $200 gift-card and enhanced trade-in was honored. The device itself looks great in Obsidian and feels good. Software fluidity is a very noticeable step up from my base Pixel 7. Photos come out wonderful, however portrait mode needs more zoom options and better edge-detection at this price point. Video is acceptable but falls behind the iPhone at least in raw numbers. Video Boost is a crutch, not a feature. The display is top-notch. Brightness and colors are perfect with the 120hz being very smooth (barring the occasional stutter in certain apps).
I don't play intensive games so the weaker G4 chip is a non-issue for me, but if you're paying full price without any promotional deals, then I'd be disappointed. Battery is pretty good for me, but any half decent phone would considering my SOT is about 1-2 hours per day so I end up charging this device once every two days. The new modem so far, seems to be faring better. I had to turn off 5G on my Pixel 7, but not with the 9 Pro.
The software is my favorite and the main reason I stick to these devices. However, if you are unable to get good trade-in deals or promotions, DO NOT purchase this device for full MSRP. Google charges top dollar, but they opted for the slower and less efficient UFS 3.1 storage, and continue to put in under-powered processors compared to the competition. Maybe the Pixel 10 will change that, but for now, wait for a sale.

Significant Upgrade to Previous Pixel

The Google Pixel 9 Pro in Rose Quartz is absolutely gorgeous. I bought this phone for my wife and she loved it. The design is great and it's not too big for her hands.
I personally use the Pixel 7 Pro. This phone is a significant upgrade to the 7 & 8 Pro. The difference in screen brightness is great. I struggle with my phone in the sun, the 9 Pro doesn't. Battery capacity is great and it doesn't heat up like my 7 Pro.
Only gripe I have about the Pixel's is that you still can't create folders in your second screen. I could do that on my $200 Motorola phones.

Awesome phone! Upgraded from a pixel 6 pro. Love the smaller screen-makes it way easier to hold and use. The cameras are also great, especially the 5x zoom. The screen gets very bright in direct sunlight and the battery life lasts me all day

Traded in my Pixel 7 for the 9 Pro and I'm very happy with the purchase. It's incredibly fast and I love using Gemini to automate all my daily tasks. Pixel produces the best camera yet again, love the macro mode. I have attached a picture to compare the black with the grey. Personally I love the black

Best Google Pixel to Date and Worth Every Penny

Google's Pixel 9 Pro revolutionizes mobile photography! Its exceptional camera features, outstanding image quality, and seamless AI integration make it a game-changer. The 50MP primary sensor, 12MP front camera, and Night Sight technology deliver stunning results in various lighting conditions. AI-driven features like Magic Eraser, Photo Unblur, and Super Res Enhance simplify photography. Excellent video recording, portrait mode, and fast autofocus add to its prowess. While battery life and design may not be revolutionary, the camera alone makes it a worthwhile investment. A must-have for photography enthusiasts!

This is CRAZYYY! I have also used an Pixel 9 pro XL before buying this, I felt it was a little big for me. So I bought myself an Pixel 9 Pro and this one is amazing. Fits right in the hand. Easy to carry around and too much tech loaded. If you are looking for something that can be more than a mobile for you. Pixel 9 pro the fully loaded AI mobile is your one stop solution. I love it.

Loved the new pixel . Surprisingly responsive with the new gen of Tensor chipset. Raw android always help me feel that wow feeling . Build quality is also so good . Bright enough in a very sunny day . Stereo speakers are so good to deliver the sound with a nice soft bass.
And the last not least, New Google AI

Cameras are great. Some apps don't like the rounded corners and the display is weird. The biggest problem is that when I have the Bluetooth connected to something, the media constantly pauses

Great phone, in the expected ecosystem. Not flipping the selfie camera while recording sucks. Rest is great. Having less bloat feels good.
- phone is more gearthy so easier to hold
- Gemini advance features is so much better then other Google assistant features.

Just an Okay Phone

Alright... let’s be honest. The Pixel 9. A mixed bag... of emotions. Not a bad phone, no... but after months of use, I find myself... not exactly starstruck.
The real star—almost a supernova—of this show? The free year of Gemini Advanced. Impressive? Yes. Siri and Apple Intelligence? Left in the dust. But compared to GPT-4o? Gemini still has a bit to learn. It's good—very good—but not quite... interstellar. Brainstorming, summarizing... it gets the job done. Just not at warp speed.
Now, the phone itself. The camera... decent. I've captured some nice shots. But nothing... groundbreaking. And the battery life? Ah, there’s the Achilles' heel. Charging more... than I’d like. More... than I should.
So, if you seek a phone with AI that's leagues ahead of Apple's but not quite at GPT-4o's level, the Pixel 9 may be... your destination. But if camera quality and battery longevity are top priorities... you may need to explore... new horizons.

I believe it gives me a feeling that I never had with any other cell phones before. Actually I have to say thanks to Best Buy and great experience with their services.
