Customer Ratings & Reviews

I can remember over a decade ago when I couldn't wait until the lastest Nexus release. I couldn't wait to see what was now new next in the Android world. Since the first Pixel I've not been overly excited about a phone release and I since moved on to other brands. I was excited for the Pixel 9Pro XL 128G 16GB RAM phone release from Google. First observation, It has a slim silhouette with rounded corners. It is the largest Pixel Pro phone at 6.8 inches. However, it fits nicely in my 8-inch cross-body bag. Pixel 9 Pro XL is equipped with a triple rear 50MP wide and ultra-wide telephoto zoom lens, and a 42MP front camera. Bright display and UltraSonic fingerprint sensor with facelock , are standard for this model. Several new features that appealed to me were the Satellite SOS and the AI features like Add Me, Magic Editor AUTO FRAME, REIMAGINE, and AUDIO MAGIC ERASER. I can't count the times I have needed this feature in the past! In my opionion the Google phones have always been the best camera phone from the Nexus line to the Google Pixel Pro XL. My pictures are always quality photos! The Google Pixel 9Pro XL is equipped with Genemi AI with 2T Goggle1 free for 1 year. The phone setup took a little time about an hour for me to transfer all apps and files, which was less time than my last phone transfer. In my opionion the Google phones have always been the best camera phone from the Nexus line to the Google Pixel Pro XL. My pictures are always quality photos.

Negative review for this shipper. They are not deliver phone last 2 week i wait for this phone . I paid full amout. But until now its say delayed .

Google has stepped up their game with the Pixel 9 XL Pro. The phone sports a 6.8" display that is very bright (3000 nits) which makes it easy to see even in bright sunlight. It's lighter than my previous phone, but still has a solid case and strong feel to it. The battery lasts me a little over 24 hours. Fast charging helps as I do have to charge this more often than my previous phone. Google stepped it up also with the cameras on the phone. There are 3 rear facing cameras (50MP wide, 48MP ultrawide, and 48MP telephoto) and one front facing camera (42MP). The photos from the cameras are very good and high resolution. The microphone array works very well. They pick up my voice when I hold the phone at arms length so with recorded video, I can hear my voice whether I'm holding the phone close to me or not. People I've talked to on phone calls are hearing me clearly when I'm holding the phone close to me and also when I have it on speaker phone with the phone in front of me sitting on a desk. Battery I can run a little more than a day on a charge unless I'm using the phone more than I typically would. Typical use though is about a day. I changed to this phone from a different manufacturer's phone. My previous phone would hold a charge for a few days so the shorter battery life of the Pixel 9 is something that I'm having to get used to. The Pixel 9 supports fast charging and I don't have to have it plugged in for long to get the charge back up to 70% or higher. I think it will just be a little time of getting used to plugging it in each day for around half an hour to one hour. Cameras The array of cameras on the Pixel 9 is crazy. Three cameras on the rear of the phone that range between 48MP to 50MP. I'm really liking the results from each of them. They produce high quality high resolution photos. Also the video produced from them is great. You can record video up to 60 frames per second in FHD and 4K. You also get the option for 8K30p. I did notice that when you record video in 4K or use the 8K option, the phone does heat up some, but I never had a problem where it heated up to the point that I felt it was too hot. Also with the 8K option it will require the Video Boost option. I recorded video using 8K30p option and noticed that right after the video ended, the resulting video was a little higher resolution than 4K DCI, but once it was boosted, the resolution was 8K. As far as photos go, they look amazing from each camera. Google has added many photo options to the Pixel 9. The Add Me feature is a brilliant idea. I'll be using the Auto Frame option even more in the future. The Magic Editor is fun to play with. I also like that I can blur out the background of a photo without it causing a problem with me being in the foreground. That helped me when I took some photos of myself downtown and didn't want faces of the people around me to be distracting. I was able to blur everything in the photo except me. Processors The Pixel 9 sports the Tensor G4. This processor is fast and can be seen while using the phone by just how responsive everything is. Apps launched fast for me and general use such as app switching was incredibly fast for me. It also has the Gemini Nano. It helps with local processing of language models as well as some of the processing involving video and photo features. Applying changes to photos was fast and given that I was applying changes to 50MP photos on a phone, I was impressed with the speed at which changes were applied. The Gemini Nano also helps with natural language processing. I was able to see the benefit of this when I was converting my speech to text. I have done this in the past with my Android tablet, but it is always slow and gets a lot of the conversions from speech to text wrong which causes me to have to manually edit the documents. I was able to convert my speech to text for a multi-page document and only had to make one correction compared to doing the same thing with my Android tablet which had me making so many corrections that it almost isn't worth the hassle doing it on my tablet. AI Google had AI in mind when making the Pixel 9. It has the processor, the Gemini Nano, that is needed to make altering of photos, converting speech to text, reading text to you, and much more fast and easy. A big plus is that you can use Gemini as your personal assistant. It's was able to better understand my voice and was much more accurate than the personal assistant that I used on my previous phone. It's much better for me and removes the headaches I had with my previous phone. Having the ability to use local language models is a big help to me as I hike in National Forests and I often find that I don't have cell phone service, but I can still use speech to text to take my notes and it works well. eSOS Google has added a feature called eSOS which will appeal to many that are active. It will use satellites to send information to emergency personnel if you are needing help. I like the peace of mind that I will have when out hiking in places where I don't have cell service. Google, at least at the launch of the Pixel 9, is offering 2 years of this service at no charge which will allow users to take advantage of the feature and decide later if they want to keep it or not. I think many will be like me and have some piece of mind knowing that it will get a message out to first responders if something happens. Final Thoughts I really like the Pixel 9 Pro XL. It's incredibly fast and responsive, has so many photo and video features to count, and is more than capable when it comes to AI. The only things I would say are negatives would be the battery life and the placement of the volume and power buttons. I find that I, more often than not, press the volume up when I'm intending to press the power button. I'll get used to that in time, but hopefully Google will change the placement of the volume button to the opposite side of the phone in future models. Google has done an amazing job with the Pixel 9. I hope Google continues down this path going forward.

The 9 Pro XL is a quality-built product. Its frame is made from aluminum, and both the front and back sides are covered in Gorilla Glass Victus2. The look is elegant, with a matte finish on the back that contrasts nicely with the shiny frame. It is quite comfortable in the hand and feels good no matter how you hold it. In the normal position, the weight is distributed slightly towards the phone's bottom half. On the right edge of the phone are a volume rocker and a power button, which have a good feel. A down-firing speaker, one in the earpiece for media use, USB-C (v3.2) port, and a SIM card tray are located along the bottom edge. There is no Memory card slot. For security, there is an under-display fingerprint sensor. Located in the lower half of the screen it is highly responsive to fingerprint input. The Facial Unlock feature was quite impressive, consistently recognizing my face with and without glasses. The 9 Pro XL has Google's Tensor G4 processor and Titan M2 security chip (which is used to secure sensitive data like biometrics). Google says the Tensor G4 speeds up web browsing by 20% and app launches by 17%. The processor allows the 9 Pro XL to run Gemini Nano for tasks like transcribing and translating languages without an internet connection. Add me – this camera feature allows you to add yourself to a group photo. You take the first picture and then have someone in the photo take a picture of you where you stand next to everyone in the first picture, and then the phone combines the two images. This feature works well; the camera walks you through the process of taking the two photos and does a decent job combining them. We found out that you have to have people in the photo for this to work. I tried to use it on a group of stuffed animals, and it did not work at all. Auto frame in Editor – this feature works well, though you have to understand the logic of their icons to get started. The cropping tool is useful; it has 6 standard settings and one where you choose how to crop the image. You also have an auto crop/rotation option to let the phone AI decide the best cropping. There is also a rotation option where you can rotate the image as you crop it, which works by determining the degree of rotation. There is a skewing crop option, but it does not seem to add much to your photo editing. Reimagine – this feature has its plusses and minuses. Once you have the photo and you hit edit, it is not clear how you need to start adding AI portions to your photo. There is a button with no label on the bottom to the left you have to hit. This brings up your image with the instructions to circle, brush, or tap to select. This is how you define the area to create an AI effect. The sensitivity of the selection tool is broad, but you can refine it with an add/subtract option. You can then erase the area or reimagine it by typing in instructions of what you want to see. Some things it cannot generate (monkeys, pigs), but others it can. It does not always come up with the object you asked for (for example, I asked for a tank bumper, which gave me the back end of several SUVs, but I never got a tank in 15 tries). I have used other online AI-generating software that works better. Panorama—This feature works really well. You take a couple of photos, and the camera directs you to add images, which are then stitched together in one well-composed image. Zoom enhance—This is an excellent feature that the camera has—it will do up to 5x zoom, and the quality of the image at the max is excellent. This works on new and existing photos as long as the image has a high resolution. The only drawback is that it does not work in portrait mode when taking a new photo—you only have the option to increase by 2x. It also has a super-res Zoom video up to 20X. Regular camera features – there are several settings you can use to take photos. Under the photo option, you can use a long exposure, action pan, set the brightness level, shadow, white balance, manual focus, shutter speed, and iso. The camera has improved how it deals with shadows, darker skin tones, and night shots. It does not always portray colors accurately, sometimes over-filtering the yellows. These can be adjusted through postproduction by the camera filtering system. The images under these conditions look great. The blur correction worked well. Low-light photography remains excellent. In a nearly pitch-black room, the Pixel renders colors that aren't visible to the eye, though they are on the splotchy side. Other features of the phone: Gemini Live—here, you can either type or speak a question, and the phone searches the Internet for answers. I asked it to tell me how to make a painting, what an arteriovenous malformation is, and what restaurants are near me now. It came up with logical answers to my questions and gave me a list of nearby restaurants. But without a data connection, many Gemini features don’t work. You are given access to the Gemini One AI premium plan for a year which includes Gemini Live, but after that, it will cost you $19.99 per month, a high price for added storage, the Geeminy assistant, and the weak AI features. At this stage the AI is not as robust as say the AI on Windows 11 for Arm Processors. Keep Notes—This is a simple program to keep notes, though it is a little buggy. I tried to increase the font size, and it was not easy to find how to do this, and it would not remember to keep the font at a larger size. On the fun side, the program lets you add emojis, animated gifs, a library of stickers, and even emojis. Pixel Screenshots – this program organizes your screenshots so you can put them in categories and search for them easily. It works nicely and is relatively easy to use. They do not explain how to take a screenshot on your phone, and I had to look it up on the internet. To do this, you press the power button and the down volume button at the same time. Weather—By clicking on the temperature on the home screen, the phone opens a detailed page with the current weather, hourly forecast, 10-day forecast, wind, humidity, UV index, pressure, sunrise and sunset, and hourly details for rain, wind, and humidity. The phone is enjoyable to use. The apps download easily from the Play Store, but any apps I have from Amazon are clumsy since they don’t install directly on the phone but only through an Amazon Apps installer, meaning it takes several steps to start using them. I have an app that was purchased through Amazon 13 years ago that Amazon says is compatible with the phone, but it does not show up in the list of apps I see on the Amazon Apps installer on the phone. The Updated Play Store (on all Android phones Now) is organized differently as it does not open to a window with a search bar – you have to locate that button at the bottom of the screen. The way they give you notice of a new activity is very muted; there is a little peach-colored circle that appears at the upper right corner of the icon for the app. In the messaging program, this same circle is sometimes challenging to see when determining your new messages. One nice thing about the messaging app is that it shows who sent the last message to each of your contacts. It's easy to see if someone replied to your previous message. I like how the phone asks if the last call you received was spam and gives you the option to mark it that way in your database. Size and comfort—The phone is the same size as my last phone. It is quite comfortable in my hands and easy to use for texting and other typing activities (even with my wife's short, stumpy fingers). The weight is slightly heavier than my last phone, but this is not a detrimental quality. The layout of the apps works like all other Android phones, though I had to look up how to access all the icons for the apps since they varied from my last phone. The display is advertised as being 30% brighter than other phones. The Pixel’s bright screen proved helpful when I was framing shots on a sunny day; the display was evident and responsive. The phone's images are extremely clear, colorful, and sharp. I experienced smooth scrolling and responsive animations, and the display automatically adjusts to save battery life when high refresh rates aren't needed. The phone's screens use Gorilla Glass, which is wonderful. I have always added a screen protector to my phone to prevent scratches, and this will not be necessary with this phone. The screens are smooth, and fingertip mobility is quick on this surface. Charging and battery life: The battery life is about 30 hours per charge. Using the power brick charger made for the phone, a 45W USB-C, it takes less than an hour to charge the phone to 50%. This does not come with the phone but is an optional accessory. One interesting feature that I like is the SOS on Satellite (Satellite SOS program). You can message emergency services and share your location when you can’t connect to a mobile or WiFi Network. There is a Demo so you can try this out without really calling emergency services. It is easy to use, and the instructions on connecting to the satellite. During a real emergency, a message will be sent to Garmin Response, the service handling the Satellite SOS program. lt is too bad this is only free for two years. The exact cost after that has not yet been released. Overall, I like the Phone with its strong construction, good looks, beautiful screen, fast processor, and multiple camera features, despite several inadequacies: the paywall options with teaser pricing, the sketchy AI at this stage, No Micro SD Slot, no included 45W superfast charging brick, only the USB-C cord is included. Limited Storage, with the hope that you will buy more from the cloud like so many other devices, which are going to this type of plan.

I've owned the pixel prosince the Google pixel 6 models came out. This is the very first one that has impressed me enough to actually use it as my daily driver. I usually would use pixelphonesfor 3 days and toss it in a drawer and switch back to one of my Galaxy ultra models. This is the 1st version of the Pixel phone where I've been impressed enough with the phone and it's features not to easily dismiss it. I love the flat display with the new addition of the ultrasonic fingerprint scanner, it just works every time, on the downside it still doesn't work with the screen off. The screen has to be lit up, either lift to wake or a double tap for the fingerprint scanner to function. A update would definitely improve this feature drastically. Screen brightness outdoors is great, nice and bright and easy to read even with a glass privacy screen protector installed. Battery life is pretty good, after a8 hour work day I'm still around 55% left for the evening. When bedtime hits the phone is around 19% when I drop it on my wireless charger for the night. I still use my Galaxy ring and watch 6 classic with the 9 pro xl. Surprisingly both transferred over from my S24 ultra perfectly. I find the tesnor chip to be very snappy for all my uses, whether taking photos, playing games, or multi tasking on the 9 pro xl. One time I got a "Phone needs to cool down" message while taking photos on a 95 f day by my pool. But kinda to be expected on a crazy hot day with a newer high end phone these days. Charging speeds are improved over last iterations of the pixel pro models. Especially using a 25w charger or higher. Gemini AI is pretty impressive built in feature and I've found it very useful accomplishing a few tasks at home. The cameras are all the same from the 8 pro models, but they are up to speed with other competitors in the market. But I do wish they were improved more for the upgraded price of the new pixel line up. However, I would recommend the phone for anyone needing a new phone or upgrade.

The Google Pixel 9 Pro XL is a standout Android flagship that showcases Google's commitment to combining top-tier hardware with advanced AI features. With its 6.8-inch AMOLED display, the Pixel 9 Pro XL delivers stunning visuals, boasting improved brightness and color accuracy. The design is refined, featuring flat edges, a durable aluminum frame, and a new "camera island" that enhances durability and aesthetics. Powered by the Tensor G4 chipset and 16GB of RAM, the Pixel 9 Pro XL is an AI powerhouse, enabling features like the improved Gemini Assistant and Pixel Studio. While the chipset doesn't match the raw performance of competitors like Apple's A-series or Samsung's Snapdragon, it’s more than capable for daily tasks, photography, and light gaming. However, it does run warm during intensive use. The camera system is where the Pixel 9 Pro XL truly shines. It features a 50MP primary sensor, a 48MP telephoto lens with 5x optical zoom, and a 48MP ultrawide camera. The result is excellent photo quality, even in low light, and impressive zoom capabilities. The 42MP front camera also delivers sharp and vibrant selfies. Battery life is reliable, often lasting up to two days, although the charging process is a bit complicated, requiring specific chargers to reach maximum speed. Despite minor issues, such as confusing charging and warm operation under heavy load, the Pixel 9 Pro XL is Google's best phone yet, offering a compelling mix of design, camera performance, and long-term software support. At $1,099, it’s a worthy competitor to other premium smartphones, especially for those who value AI features and camera quality.

This is the best Android phone I have ever used. I have been an iPhone user since the original was released in 2007. I have had every iPhone through the iPhone 15 Pro Max and this was the one that made me switch. I have tried for a long time to get away from iPhones and this is was the was the one that made it the easiest to switch. It may be because it looks and feels like an iPhone but that's not a bad thing. The design looks and feels premium. The camera is the best on a smartphone to date in my opinion. I have tried other Android devices and I never cared for the Android skinned versions of others. The Pixel 9 Pro XL gives you the cleanest form of Android that is how Google intended users to use. You don’t get 2 versions of apps with wasted storage space like from Samsung. The battery is excellent and will get you through a full day even with heavy use. Google Pixel phones have been getting better and better with every iteration and Google knocked this one out of the park in my opinion. The large screen is excellent and is a higher resolution than any iPhone. Consuming content on the large immersive screen is a joy. The speakers are loud enough and sound great. I personally am not one to care too much about AI, but the many features are there for those who do. The processor is nothing to write home about if you do anything heavy on the device like gaming. However, if you are a casual user like myself and use it mainly for calls, text, taking photos and watching content, then this is well more than enough of a phone to take care of those tasks. You don’t need a super processor to watch Netflix or search for the nearest burger joint. This is the Android phone to get. I highly recommend the Pixel 9 Pro XL.

Google Pixel 9 Pro so far has been pretty solid. I have been using it for almost 10 months now. Software --> It has been smooth with some glitches here and there ( had 2 screen freeze till now which was resolved by holding down the power button and restarting the device. There has ubeen immediate updated to new software and has been consistent with updates. Battery --> It is descent but cannot be compared with Samsung as the capacity of Samsung are pretty great comparatively. I would say we can live with this but just concerned how it will stack up with more AI processing and bigger software updates which might come in. Camera --> One of the best features of the Google Pixel Pro has been the camera. It has always lived up and produces great images even the fact that I am an below average camera knowledgeable person taking so and so images. Low light photos and all videos are also great. Storage --> I would recommend 256 or 512 GB as that the only thing I repent not upgrading to. The photos and videos taken are so great they unfortunately need more storage to store them. That is the caviar here. So if you are planning to take photos or even use it for longer time, with all the photos adding up or even the fact that each OS upgrades takes almost GBs of space you will need more storage. Please consider higher versions beforehand. Common piece of advise would be to use a screen protector and a case as Google phones or any phone tend of break when you least expect it to fall down.

I've been using the phone for more than a week now and it's been great. "The Pixel 9 Pro XL is a powerhouse. Its stunning display, combined with Google's exceptional camera capabilities and smooth performance, makes it a top-tier Android experience. If you're looking for a premium phone that excels in photography and software, this is it.

A little rocky at the beginning but now its good. I Had to exchange my Brand new Pixel 9 pro XL for another one because the first one had an extreme lag problem where the apps and UI would move very slow half of the time for no reason. Resetting and restarting did not help. This problem stopped when the phone was plugged in and charging. I read online this could be a battery issue, where other users reported similar problems and symptoms. My second Pixel 9 Pro XL does not have this problem. So im sure the first one was defective. I understand that happens with tech so im not too bothered about it. However, still selling phones with only 128GB storage is scammy in 2025. Regardless of cloud storage memberships, storage capacities should be 512 GB min. Since manufacturing is going to be ramping up in the next years to come, I look foward to seeing future phones not cost too much and with higher default storage. The Pixel 9 Pro XL is great. Great screen and brightness, feels durable, i like the shape, great UI and Google is never a let down. Great battery and excellent XL screen size. Camera is very good, actually better than Samsung phones when it comes to picture detail. I rarely see a blur when snapping photos which is a problem samsung phones have, even the ultra models. The Pixel line up has gotten better each time!

The Google Pixel 9 Pro XL is a standout in the smartphone market, offering a blend of elegant design and cutting-edge technology. Its 6.8-inch Super Actua OLED display is incredibly bright and vibrant, making it perfect for media consumption and gaming. Powered by the Google Tensor G4 chip, the phone delivers smooth performance and efficient multitasking. The AI capabilities enhance user experience by offering features like image generation and itinerary planning. The build quality is top-notch, with a sturdy aluminum frame and Gorilla Glass Victus 2 on both the front and back, ensuring durability. On the camera front, the Pixel 9 Pro XL excels with its triple rear camera setup, including a 50MP main sensor, a 48MP ultrawide, and a 48MP telephoto lens. The 42MP front camera also ensures high-quality selfies. Battery life is impressive, lasting over 12 hours on a single charge, which is a significant improvement over previous models. Google Pixel 9 Pro XL is a powerful device that showcases Google’s vision for the future of smartphones.

The Pixel 9 Pro XL is not just a smartphone — it's an intelligent assistant that elevates daily life with its incredible AI-powered tools. Google has seamlessly integrated AI features that make this phone stand out from the crowd. The camera is a perfect example of AI in action. With features like Magic Eraser, Photo Unblur, and Real Tone, your photos look flawless with minimal effort. Night Sight is astonishing, capturing stunning low-light shots that feel like magic. The AI also optimizes images on the fly, ensuring every picture is frame-worthy. The voice-to-text capabilities are incredibly accurate and fast, making dictation a breeze. Live Translate is another standout feature — translating conversations in real time has been a game-changer for traveling and connecting with people who speak different languages. Call Assist takes phone calls to a whole new level, screening spam and providing AI-powered suggestions for responses during calls. Paired with Google's Assistant, this phone makes multitasking effortless, whether setting reminders, controlling smart home devices, or finding answers in an instant. Even the battery management benefits from AI, learning your usage patterns to optimize battery life. Combined with the Tensor G3 chip, everything from gaming to streaming is smooth and lag-free. The Pixel 9 Pro XL truly showcases the potential of AI in a smartphone. If you're ready for a device that doesn't just work for you but works with you, this is the one to beat.

The Pixel 9 Pro XL is a powerhouse. Its stunning display, top-tier camera system, and blazing-fast performance make it a dream device. The long-lasting battery ensures you're always connected, while the sleek design adds a touch of elegance. However, it's a bit pricey and the software updates can sometimes be slow.

Beautiful design, snappy and reactive to touch. Picture quality is great, but at times when it comes to darker skin people, skin color seems pale. The screen is amazing, and the battery life is good, but I think it could be better. The speakers aren't as loud as I entended them to be, I compared it to my iPhone 15 Pro Max, and the iPhone was louder by a pretty noticeable margin, which was disappointing to me. Google assistance is reactive and snappy, at times it misinterprets some of my words like WIPES, it will type in WIFEY, or when I say AT THIS, it will type in AUNTIE. And some other phrases and words it gets mixed up, but it's not too bad. I love using this phone to chart on, or finish notes related to work.

The phone is nice but not worth $1100 for the base model 128gb storage which I got. I have OnePlus 12R which has also 16gb Ram, 256gb storage, better display and older chipset Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 and runs as good as the Pixel 9 pro XL at 60% cheaper in my case even less as I got it on preorder with trade in for $350. I got the the Pixel 9 pro XL also on preorder and only because Best Buy gave me $490 trade in for my iPhone 13 + $200 gift card so my total was $646 and that's a decent price for the phone. The AI doesn't interest me at all. Camera is mediocre compared to the iPhone. The screen is the best in the Pixel series, but not as good as the OnePlus or iPhone, the front camera hole is huge and makes the screen ugly. The main reason for getting a Pixel phone is because I like the stock Android from Google and it gets the latest updates before any other brand. If you don't need the bigger screen and battery go for the regular Pixel at $799. Also worth noting that the Pixel 9 pro XL doesn't charge faster even with the original Google 45W charger, still takes 1.5-2 hours for full charge with Adaptive Charging off, while OnePlus 12R goes 0-100% in 45 minutes and last longer because is 5500 milliamp capacity. The Pixel 9 pro XL is a nice phone with great build quality but if it wasn't the trade in and the gift card I would not buy it. It should go on sale for Black Friday and that's a good time to get it if you want to.

The Pixel 9 Pro is a powerhouse device that brings Google's best hardware and software into one sleek package. The obsidian black model looks elegant and sophisticated, with a premium feel in hand. With its upgraded RAM, the phone handles multitasking effortlessly, and its performance is smooth even when running demanding apps. The camera system is outstanding, capturing crisp, vibrant photos even in low light. Google's AI-powered features, like the improved Magic Eraser and real-time photo enhancements, make photography a breeze. Battery life is solid, and the phone charges quickly, so you’re never tethered to an outlet for long. The software is intuitive, with seamless integration of Google’s ecosystem. Stock Android fans will love the clean interface, and the new AI features enhance the overall user experience, making tasks quicker and more personalized. The security features are also top-notch, providing peace of mind. While the price is on the higher end, the performance and features make it a worthy investment, especially for those who prioritize a great camera and smooth performance. If you're looking for a premium Android phone, the Pixel 9 Pro is a fantastic choice.

I've personally had a Pixel in my pocket since the original and daily both an iPhone and Pixel everyday, and I truly think that the hardware finally compliments the software to complete with the iPhone Pro and Galaxy Note. Standout performance on Pixel has always been it's software and camera still photos, but now the rest of the hardware is there too. The design got cleaned up and the camera bump finally is incorporated in a clean footprint compared to previous years. The finger print reader is a major upgrade, feels as fast as a Samsung compare to the 7 and 8 that had a delay feel waiting for the screen flash. Battery life is also major upgrade from last year's model which was already good. Coming from a Pixel 8 Pro, the Pixel 9 Pro feels like they refined everything little thing to polish it up, honestly no complaints. My favorite Pixel and comparing it with the iPhone 16 Pro, it's my preferred choice of the two without question.

A Solid Flagship with Google's AI Magic Pros: * Excellent camera: Captures stunning photos & videos, even in challenging conditions. * Tensor G4 chip: Smooth performance, optimized for AI features. * Latest Android updates: First in line for new features & security patches. * Compact & comfortable design: Easy to hold & use with one hand. Cons: * Battery life could be better: Heavy users may need to charge during the day. * No expandable storage: Choose your storage wisely at purchase. * Speakers are average: Fine for casual listening, but not the loudest. Overall: The Pixel 9 is a fantastic phone that excels at photography & AI features. It's a great choice for anyone seeking a compact, powerful device with Google's latest software innovations. Should you buy it? If you prioritize camera quality, AI features, and a clean Android experience, the Pixel 9 is a top contender. However, if you need the absolute best battery life or the most powerful specs, you might consider other options.
