Google Pixel 9 review: better than ever | Digital Trends

The Google Pixel 9 comes with Gemini AI, but guess what? AI isn't the reason this is a good phone, as we explain in our in-depth review.

Excellent design and build quality ; Super camera ; Tactile haptics ; Fast and reliable security ; Improved efficiency and battery life ; Long software update commitment

Screen isn't always bright enough ; Slow charging ; More expensive than last year

“The Google Pixel 9 is one of the best Pixel phones Google has ever made, and it has nothing to do with AI.”

Google Pixel 9 review

The Pixel 8 was one of the most popular choices in the compact segment, and the Pixel 9 is here to replace it as the new go-to option in this peculiar...

Brightest display in the class.

Large and heavy.

We'll be quick to admit that we don't necessarily see the vanilla Pixel for 2024 as great value at its list price. But for as long as you can get the free storage upgrade, or if Black Friday brings a nice discount a few months down the line, the Pixel...

Google Pixel 9 review: the phone that Android needs

The Pixel 9 is the kind of device you get after a few generations of incremental progress.

Updated design feels more secure in hand ; Fast fingerprint sensor ; Seven years of software and OS updates

No telephoto camera ; AI features are inconsistent ; What is a photo?

That changes with the Pixel 9. It’s finally a phone for someone who just wants a really good phone — someone who doesn’t care about the difference between optical and digital zoom, doesn’t want to fiddle with a lot of customization options, and wants...

Google Pixel 9, Pixel 9 Pro, and Pixel 9 Pro XL Review: All Grown Up

Come for the smart design and the fantastic camera. Stay for the reality-blurring image manipulation features and the next-level chatbot.

Great camera system with accurate skin tones. Strong performance and nice cooling on the Pro models. Bright, sharp, smooth OLED displays. Long software support. Lots of helpful software features.

What is a photo, anyway? No Qi2 support. Price hikes.

Google Pixel 9 Review: Chock-Full of AI. But That's Not What Makes It Great

It's still the camera, design and battery life that make the Pixel shine, rather than its new AI tricks.

Beautiful design ; Fun and somewhat useful AI features ; Better ultrawide camera ; 7 years of software updates

More expensive ; Doesn't feel very different from Pixel 8

Google Pixel 9 Review: Here's What You Need And The Pro You Won't Miss - SlashGear

Google Pixel 9 is the least expensive Pixel 9 generation device -- but Is it enough to have everything but the best display and full set of cameras?

Delightful Industrial Design ; Impressive Photos Despite Less-Than-Pro Array ; Decent Display ; Gemini AI Companion System Shows Promise ; IP68 Dust and Water Resistance ; Google promises 7 years of security and OS updates

Price Continues To Creep Upward ; Fewer Display Options Than 9 Pro ; Some AI Features Require Gemini Advanced Subscription

Google Pixel 9 Review: More than just an AI phone

While AI gets the attention, the Google Pixel 9 quietly gets all the basics right, making it one of the best phones of the year. Google Pixel 9Bottom LineWhile AI gets the attention, the Google Pixel 9 quietly gets all the basics right, making it one...

Excellent display ; Much improved battery life ; Sturdy build ; Minimal packaging and generous OS and security upgrade guarantees make it a more sustainable device ; Well priced compared to other Android flagships

Weak stereo speakers ; Charges slowly ; Gemini AI features are still too inaccurate, too often ; No zoom camera
