I was thinking of getting the pixel 9, but I've decided to wait for the pixel 10 next year, my pixel 6 is getting a bit tired, but still works well enough.
I just got the 7 pro and decided to wait til the 10pro for my next. I think since it the 10th it's gonna have mad features
I'm still using my Pixel 4 but I think I'm gonna wait for the Pixel 10 pro. But let's see when the Pixel 9 series get release
same, hard to wait tho
Really? After only 3 years the P6 is already getting tired? Wow that's interesting.
@@goneghostedMine doesn't 🤷🏻
Got my pixel 8 pro recently, coming back to android (stock for the first time) from iphone, and I can say this is incredible. All going smoothly with tensor g3 and the phone in general
in 99% of cases pixel 8 pro will carry for 6 year SMOOTHLY WITH TOP TIER ANDROIR version
you made a smart choice
I have my Pixel 8 Pro since last October, and it is very smooth and works great! I have no problem at all!
Literally just switched less than 2 weeks ago! Love it. Breaking the apple chains and only open software + cross platform for me
I have pixel 8 pro and a Chinese phone... I use pixel as a camera phone while I use my 2017 Chinese phone as daily driver.
Where pixel needs to improve? Battery... Weve had under 30 (25 in my case) minute charging on chinese phones at 100watts+ for almost a. Decade now along with bundled charger . Meanwhile "american technology superiority" is charging at 18 watts in 250 minutes ... You can only charge the pixel or iPhone to 100% if you sleep overnight ... Those are technologically insanely inferior ... .
a new flagship phone running smooth? wow it's a miracle
How about making a phone and releasing it day one with all of the features instead of promising features that never come, like .. enhanced Zoom
For my pixel 8 Pro 😢
Completely agree. Glad someone else finally said it lol every Google event is "Soon, on Pixel, you will be able to _____" but I never hear any further updates
Sadly, that's how marketing works for gadgets. They already developed the features and scheduled the release for each. If they release all in one go. How else will they get more sales. The reason why I decided to get the Pixel 8. At least I have 7 years to get if not all at least most of them.
Pixel 8a is really good , fluid, no heating and very snappy for all my uses . Maybe the chip is stabilized and made perfect to run the software, my pixel 8a in bay color looks sexy ❤
Any issues in gaming or do you not play games? My pixel 8a couldn't handle games as well as a €200 OnePlus nord ce 3 lite from a year ago
i got the 8 Pro, and later grabbed the 8a. I actually like my 8a better. I got it in Aloe. Love it!
@@curtwest7409 must be the size. I liked the size as well
@@user-ou6lj8wu6c sorry no games but all other professional related features I use and after the feature drop/July security patch it’s so fluidic and zero heating . Very nice phone .
@@curtwest7409 I’m glad to hear the same experience
this will likely be the first pixel I will buy new. I held out with my Pixel 5 last year but with the updates ending in November last year I need a new phone. Really hoping this doesn't disapoint.
Same here, hoping it's a good upgrade over my 6
@@Pixlewatchtoo well even the 8 would be a good upgrade so unless they make the 9 worse than the 8 we should be fine
Pls wait for the 9 your phone isn't gonna stop working differently without updates for at least a year or more.
@@katinasoutherland7693 thats literally what the point of my comment was. I wanted to get the Pixel 8, but I decided to wait for the 9.
Me still going with my 4xl 🤤
I have the pixel 7 and I'm excited to get the 9pro with all its features in a smaller size
👍
why? pixel 7 is perfectly fine
WAS perfectly fine. Jk jk
@@sudbtd 9 will be supported for more than 4 years and I'm in need of a storage upgrade anyway
@@lukegood9164 lineage os but ig the storage upgrade is valid
List of things that Pixel need:
- TSMC foundry
Thanks for the attention.
I believe it would be good to implement some of the functionality that currently is restricted to the US only. I honestly can't understand why they don't introduce functions like call wait in the UK! After all, we pay us much, if not more for these phones as Americans but we get less for it. Not exactly fair in my opinion
It's got to do with privacy law in the UK/EU right?
I am rocking a pixel 8, honestly never had an issue with connectivity, constantly have 100mbps speed over 5g and battery has been great too. Or maybe, I just got lucky with this device, do not have any issue as of now.
im same pixel 8 has been no problems at all
Do you live in India?
Same. Living in India where it's generally hot. But the phone stopped heating after 1-2 weeks. Now it's cool, snappy, never faced network problems as well. Only problem I have is some apps are under-optimised, like in Twitter, the scroll has a stutter every now and then, the animation is not smooth.
I wish Google would enhance the Pixel lineup to become not just great for gaming but also a productivity powerhouse. It would be amazing if the upcoming Pixel 9 Pro XL and the Fold were optimized for productivity tools like Google Docs, Sheets, Gmail, Google Slides, and Google Meet etc. I'm confident that many business professionals would be very interested in seeing this happen.
I've had the p4xl p6 p7 and p8 and ive yet to have any problems people complain about I've had more issues with OnePlus and samsung devices
Pixel 6 and 7 were the worst phones I've had in a while, you're probably part of the lucky "25%", I think it speaks volumes to Google's poor quality control.
@@superiortoall22 i may well be can't argue with that
I'm still hoping for the zoom enhance feature on the pixel 8 pro 😢
I much prefer the camera bar on the 9pro versus the one on my 8pro. However, I think I am going to wait till the 10 series and see what they offer.
Wait for Pixel 10. I'm on p8pro too, and i wait for 10 series based on tsmc CPU
Same here waiting 10 series or I will shift another brand may be Vivo

Als a case user I also prefer the new style. Should work better with cases.
pixel 10 + g5 will be it
g4 will just be a skin of exynos
g5 will be GOOGLE'S first
So all of us who have bought G1 to G3 were duped?
@@hungrydavo No, not at all! The most demanding consumers are looking for more processing power while also enjoying energy savings for better battery life. I recently bought a Pixel 8, and it works perfectly, like all the Pixels I've had before. In the long run, I'll opt for the Tensor G6 (Pixel 11) or maybe the Tensor G7 (Pixel 12), but I'm going to make the most of my Pixel 8 first before selling it or returning it to Google to get a discount on the latest smartphone I'll buy this year.
The Tensor G5, set to power the Pixel 10 series, will be the first System-on-Chip (SoC) fully designed and manufactured by Google.
Chip design and manufacturing can be expensive. It's possible that the Tensor G5 will be more expensive than previous Tensor chips, which could lead to a price increase for Pixel 10 devices.
I like the initiative, although it's a risky bet. Despite these risks, Google seems convinced that the benefits of a fully Google-designed and -manufactured SoC outweigh the risks. It remains to be seen whether the Tensor G5 will be a success, but it's a significant step for Google and could have a major impact on the future of Pixel devices.
😂@@hungrydavo
For me in order of priority...
1. Better SOC with much much better Modem. Seriously they need to get it sorted this round
2. On that topic better antennae for the wifi 7. Even OnePlus could get this sorted. Throw in some Satelite coms too. Its a must have here in New Zealand
3. Better fingerprint readers. Just ditch these optical readers already
4. Always better camera hardware. Its a given. But specifically im still hoping for 10x optical like the older Samsungs had. And make the fold camera hardware on par with pixel pro
5. Magsafe with the wireless charging. Id love magsafe mobile holders in car
6. Now that they finally do a small pixel for people who like small mobiles make the XL larger. I mentioned it before but the small Pixel Pro, Pixel Pro XL and the Fold should all have the same spec internals and camera. Only the screens should be different. The gimped Fold is the reason I never bought a Fold
7. Add a programmable buttton. Everyone would use it for something different and that's why we need it. Ooen a fav app, assistant, what ever
I do love my 8 Pro hardware but there are still far too many odd day to day issues that occur that have no business happening much less this frequently on a $999 phone. Most are software related and these are issues that have been going on since my Pixel 6 using days. Things like swiping up from the lockscreen when trying to accept a call not working and I will have to speak out "Answer" to pick up the call. This kind of unresponsiveness still occurs throughout the whole OS again way too frequently.
The screen, for being 120Hz, somehow still has this strange lag/delay that isn't even present on my other 60Hz display phones and again this has been present from the 90Hz panel on the Pixel 6 to the 120Hz in the 7 Pro and now in the 8 Pro. These are only a few of the issues still holding me back from recommending it as a S24 series alternative in the US if one was to ask me which Android phone to buy.
I would love if Google incorporated their own version of Magsafe though in the Pixel 9 phones. I drive a quite a bit for work and while I am using a Magsafe compatible case on my 8 Pro now, even though it's a Qi2 charger, it doesn't charge very fast and even less so when it's very hot out as it is now.
Also having a better face ID solution would be very welcome, it's currently slow and unreliable for me and completely unusable in low light situations. A true ToF sensor would be great but that would likely not be possible without a larger punch-hole design like on the iPhones or certain Honor phones. What else, a better in-display fingerprint reader is also a near must since for me that's my primary way of unlocking the phone. The list goes on and on.
Having a mix of Samsung, Google and Xiaomi phones in my household.. Pixel is by far the phone with the most tricks but somehow is still capable of making one feel a miss in fundamentals, compared to the other 2. The other 2 don't have as many tricks, but they also don't have weird quirks that bother you as much on a daily basis because they nailed the fundamentals right - like fluidity, longevity, stability, battery, usability and consistency. It always felt like Google is spending too much time and effort minoring on the major, while majoring on the minor. For one, just return the highlight and shadow controls to the viewfinder instead of tucking them away on a 2nd page.
It's completely opposite. Fluidity, longevity, stability, battery (it's just good enough), usability and consistency are the strongest points of Pixel phones compared to any other. Those are the fundamentals. You don't need the highlight and shadow controls if camera does perfect shots by default 100% of the time.
But if you want those small manual tweaks and features, you really need an alternative, like Samsung or Xiaomi. But these features are for the minority.
Except I wasn't getting the fundamentals from Pixel, when using multiple phones. Alarms not going off, phonecall recipients not receiving my voice audio "under certain conditions" (as how Google likes to call it), photos at night looking bright with overly lit shadows "under certain conditions", advertised features that don't come to all regions, advertised features that never arrive or don't work, random server-side changes / removal of advertised features..just to name a few.
Things not specifically Pixel 8 related, but rather Google related, because I've used the 2/3/4 and 6 and inconsistency has been the only constant in my years of usage. They aren't frequent. But there will be instances of either of the above occurring every few months. While things may have settled down now in late 2024, I was there when it wasn't. Comparatively, Samsung and Xiaomi has yet to take me there in the last 6-18mths.
You always know what you're getting on the day of the first payment.
I love the visor design that wraps around the frame seamlessly. Its sad that they easily moved on from that design language it's very unique.
Auto focus on the front camera would be nice
EDIT: For the non Pro
The 8 Pro already has this, I believe
8 Pro already has this
@@abutton117 Yes, to correct: for the non Pro
@@danielvasquez7204 Yes, to correct: for the non Pro
I have had almost every Nexus and Pixel phones. My last being a Pixel 6pro. I had so many problems with it overheating and the fingerprint reader that last year for my next phone I went to the dark side and got a iphone 15 pro max. Happy with the phone and I dont think I will ever move back to Android.
Give me a smaller phone with high performance and the following and I will trade in my Pixel 8 Pro.
Better fingerprint sensor:
This one goes without saying but I believe it is essential. Either give us one on the power button or if it's in display then make it an ultrasonic one.
Strong audio:
As a vision impaired person I like a phone with good sound. Would love the Pixel 9 to have good stereo speakers.
Colour:
Please give us a good range of vibrant phone colours to choose from. Don't want saturated rubbish, bold and clear will go a long way to make me part with my money.
256GB on base model:
Please Google don't do what I think you are going to do. That is charge us a small fortune and then give us only 128GB on your base model. At this point 256GB should be the standard.
We will be getting a smaller Pro phone and the rumors say that the in-display fingerprint sensor will be ultrasonic this time
Why does everything have to look like an iPhone nowadays? Pixel 8 has the best design in its lineup.
If everything looks like an iPhone to you, that's just your limited frame of reference
I'm personally more of a fan of Pixel 6's original design. The metal visor doesn't hit the same way the glass one does
@@NizarNoor "Limited frame of reference" or not, that's a fact. You show the pixel 9 design to 100 random ppl, and the thing that comes to their mind would be "why does it look like an iPhone?".
Tbh the new 9 design looks more like an honor or huawei phone that's trying to be out there. I also think 8 has the best design of all time. The proportion of the visor height to the body height is just too perfect
How does this look like an iPhone??? The camera designs are different. Is it because of the frame?
You're supposed to hold down the camera shutter button when you're catching a live event like the soccer thing you're talking about and AI picks out the best shots for you. Hitting it repeatedly doesn't work.
the pixel 9 series will be getting ultra sonic fingerprint 🎉
My want is a change to the brightness slider adjustment. It feels like the pixels don't get very bright until you're about 2/3 to 3/4 of the way up. Other phones get much brighter at lower percentages it seems.
Spends 5 minutes talking about problems with the pixel, but i just got my 8 pro and i honestly feel like its the first Android I've used that can compare with my old iPhone. Only problem I've had is the camera feels below par, even for a phone camera. I don't take too many photos, so it doesn't bother me too much, but my dog photos look a little grainy.
I guess if i had to choose, thatz what i want to see improved in the 9 pro
i really like the the pixels have an amazing camera... so i hope they put a moon mode on it... every time i try taking a photo of the moon it looks like a street light... it would be nice if you could take a night shot with the moon.. and you select the moon and it processes and darkens it so you can see more detail and its not just a ball of light
I actually 100% support the move away from an in-display fingerprint scanner to a capacitive side mounted one. They are just as good as the absolute best ultrasonic scanners, but are even more convenient because you just press your power button and unlock your phone in one motion.
They literally are not as good as ultrasonic.
@@jordanjackson8873 I guess ultrasonic is technically more secure because it does a 3D map rather than just a 2D one, but 2D maps are honestly plenty secure and have been considered secure enough for banking transactions for years. And the side mounted capacitive one is still more convenient.
until you put a case on it
@@DeadPiixxel That would be like someone talking about how the mute switch on an iPhone is good and you respond to until you put a case on it. There is a really simple solution around that potential problem that every single case manufacturer incorporates.
@@ezradanger that's literally one of the reasons for having the in-dispaly fingerprint reader.
Had the pixel 4 then the pixel 5 and still have the pixel 7
But i'd love to have a quicker charger and also an unlock finger prints more efficient
I got the Pixel Fold your camera isn't up to date there's now a change to zoom ultra wide and wide plus tight shot with pro mode here in the USA
Looking forward to the future of the TENSOR CHIP
Tensor blows goat.
My pixel 6 pro problem has only been the phone getting hot and data connection I'm waiting on the 10 🤞🏽
#TeamPixel #GooglePixel9
😎
I have an iPhone 13 PM, and I’m due for an upgrade…not gonna trade it in, but debating on S24U or the new Pixel 9 Pro, for my new main…
Google should improve the variety of colors
Pixel 4a 5G user here. I love My 4a and it's still going strong. Not even a hint of whatever battery issues the vid mentioned. I'm only CONSIDERING upgrading. Not in any hurry. Pixel is fulfilling the Nexus promise!
I'm waiting on the 10 series, but if the trade in deals are good enough I might go for it, I just love new tech lol, we'll see.
That's my thought too. I'm really happy as-is, but I like new stuff.
The only thing I really, really want (but know I won't get unless they can make it under-display) is the Soli radar from the 4XL, and TBH I would GLADLY take the lopsided and extra thick top bezel to have that feature back
I used that daily! Playing media (especially in the car) and being able to skip forward/back, pause, and resume without looking, without touching, and without any verbal trigger words was SO quick and convenient and useful!!!
Maybe I want to skip 3 songs in a row during rush hour. Since I would rather not rear end someone, I end up letting mediocre songs play more often than I'd like. LOL!
And since I'm dreaming... it'd be cool if it recognized the shape of my hand and let only me skip/pause/resume, but not let my daughter troll me. 😂
The next step is a gesture to trigger the dictation mic. If I had that and hand-recognition media control gestures, that would be perfection!
That face unlocked on my Pixel 4xl was a beast. I wish that they could bring back something like this to the Pixel 9. Unfortunately, I think I am sticking with Google for now. I have been with them since Pixel 2
we can't wait ! for pixel 9 lineup and android 15 convo
Me too
idk how much of it is a google problem but I'd like to see better support on the main social media apps. Also faster charging speeds and idle time. When I had my Pixel 7 Pro those were the main reasons I switched back to iPhone. With the RCS messaging issues seemingly fixed, those are what I wanna see improve.
I've been on Pixels since the 6 pro, upgraded for cheap from 7 pro to 8 pro and I wished I didn't. It's been an absolute nightmare to have a screen protector on the phone, glass is never full cover, unless it's spigen or dbrand, spigen ruins accuracy to a point where I want to throw the phone away, dbrand I can't get easily where I live. Tpu is just a nightmare, they all just move off the phone within half a day, no matter what. I'm so done with this that I'm considering switching to another phone when I can do my next upgrade, I get the "hand feel" argument of curved edges, but by no means does that outweigh the absolute nightmare of curved glass and screen protectors. So, hopefully they will have actually flat glass this time. Curved metal bezels would be great for those that want that, but leave the goddamn screen flat please.
My pixel 3a is still perfectly working. The only downside is the storage. The system alone eats a big chunk of it. In case you don't know most of the upgrades were still available on the pixel 3a even though Google capped it to Android 12. It sometimes lags due to heavy apps. I decided to upgrade to the Pixel 8 and got the 256gb (my 1st flagship phone ever). I didn't know pixel 9 will be launched like a month before my purchase 😭 I'm a fan of Pixel phones. The best Android phone for me in the market. Hoping there's not much difference with Pixel IX😢
I definitely want to see connectivity improvements
Nobody is talking about the Black Screen of Death that plagued the Pixel 5a. Motherboard dying randomly is a big issue. Mine died while I was just browsing a shopping app. Never turned on after. Not even a single sign of life even when attached to a charger.
As a long time Pixel user, agreed with all of the woes. The most frustrating one is thermal management. But, I'll still be holding onto my Pixel Fold until next year when Google switches over to TSMC chips instead of Samsung.
I really loved my Pixel 8 Pro. But sadly it got hot so often, doing basic things it was really annoying. If they fix that with the Pixel 9 ill go back to them!
Google adopted a mindset of not focusing on chip speed with the Moto X series. The Moto X proved you could make a phone with a mid-tier chip that competed with phones with high-end chips and still come out on top.
My pixel 6a start being tired I think I'll switch to the 9 pro let's hope for a nice price range😢😅
Faster and better fingerprint sensor. Both in screen and also at the same time have it in the side power button. Better optic zoom. Smoothier edges around the camera bump.
Can't wait to see all of the Disciple Me Minion Cases for the new Pixel 9.
I really wish google had improved on Soli from the pixel 4 series instead of scrapping it. It had promise and the face unlock experience was incomparable
Those who are using MacBook and Android at the same time try the KDE Connect software, which is really wonderful to keep you in the same ecosystem even if you don't use an iPhone, you will feel the same that you are in an ecosystem.
They should just fill the gap of the camera lens and put a bigger battery, so the phone is fully flat.
All I want is small pixel with nornal, ultra wide and telephoto cameras. Better battery than Pixel 7 would be also nice.
More explanations of how to do certain things, especially circle to remove. Or how to change a photo
I have pixel 8 pro and a Chinese phone... I use pixel as a camera phone while I use my 2017 Chinese phone as daily driver.
Where pixel needs to improve? Battery... Weve had under 30 (25 in my case) minute charging on chinese phones at 100watts+ for almost a. Decade now along with bundled charger . Meanwhile "american technology superiority" is charging at 18 watts in 250 minutes ... You can only charge the pixel or iPhone to 100% if you sleep overnight ... Those are technologically insanely inferior
I'm finished with Google. Hate it that they promise and don't deliver, hate it that they kill great products just because. Hate that their launcher still has this clock and search bar that you can't remove. Hate that they bring features but only to the US and only in English. Hate it that they don't listen to their users. Pixel 8 pro was my last pixel. Whatever the pixel 9 might be.
Less regional software locking would be a good start, if they're not going to bump down the price outside of the US for a phone with less of the killer features.
The biggest issue with my pixel is slow and inconsistent bluetooth connectivity. Bluetooth on my previous galaxy device was much better.
Reasonable hardware quality control would be nice. The amount of Google devices I’ve had to return is ridiculous. Also, the problems that have plagued Pixels for years (modem as mentioned) cannot still be an issue. Google needs to start fixing the glaring issues as they arise, not several iterations later.
Pixel 10 needs to be a beast with everything working at launch. If not...I'm going to the Nothing phone
USB-PD is enough, efficiency is a better option. New battery tech, like Solid state would be game changer.
Now that companies have a metric for AI processors, the Tensor G4 won't have that excuse anymore.
Premium pricing for premium problems! on Dollar Tree hardware! This is the reason why I have never owned a Pixel device but owned a handful of Nexus devices back in the day.
tensor has been a bummer in general. It overheats with the most mundane tasks, and hence battery life has been mediocre. We don't even get fast charging to mitigate that...
Custom chipset designed by Google or give it to ARM
Large image sensor 1 inch industry standards
All phones have moved on
Pixel camera is really sub par compared to competition.
I’m on P5 and still on the upgrade fence. Samsungs anti-glare screen would really tempt me.
I want a better Face Authentication in low light and preferably as good as Pixel 4.
A better modem and maybe improvements to the Astrophotography Mode in the camera.
I'm pretty happy with my Pixel 8 Pro otherwise I have to say.
Maybe idk 💩 but I can't think of an issue I've had w/ Tensor chips, I've played cod warsone mobile on the pixel 6,7,8 pro & it runs fine. Day to day its even better. H/e I'm somebody who doesn't really know about SOCs so i could be missing something
If they only release zoom enhance to just pixel 9 and 9 pro I will not be happy as i bought my puxel 8 pro because I thought I was getting that
We'll see what the Pixel 10/X (or whatever they call it) can do.
I want the pixel nine pro
I have the eight and will likely purchase a used 8 pro when the nine comes out as pixels depreciate hard and fast
That's a W for the consumer
Screw that, Pixel 7 pro was a beast. Way snappier and less glitchy than my S24 regular ( traded to go smaller) I miss my P7P especially for the camera. Don't game so don't care.
I'd love to see face unlock working in the dark
Potrait mode in pixel need to improve. Even $150 smartphone have better edge detection.
It looks very attractive! I have the pixel 6 and I love it! I'm going to wait for the 10 though
I would rather a fingerprint scanner on the power button. Like Pixel Fold and Pixel Tablet. And keep the Face Unlock capabilities as well.
The current camera bump integrates into the Pixel 8 MUCH better than this mock Pixel 9. Much better.
Battery life is my main peeve and exactly why I've avoided ALL tensor chip phones.
I want them to stop software handicapping there devices for features like shooting in the full 50mp , a bit like how Samsung do this and allow you to take a full 50mp shot. Sure keep your telephoto for your pro line but please allow everthing else across the range or handsets.
Great Video. Thank you.
I want all of the features in the smallest phone possible. I'll pay more for smaller not larger.
everything, simply put. We need improvement over ai, the cpu power house, the cpu and battery efficiency , and the size, so pretty much every thing
I am looking forward to the 9 pro model in the small form factor and hopefully they improve the screen for instance I placed my older Samsung s20 next to my pixel 8 Pro and the screen of the Samsung is Sharper, The blacks are more black. So Hopefully the screen is improved and is as good or better than a samsung s20 and hopefully we get all the bells and whistles of the 9 pro XL in the 9pro( besides the battery I suppose?)
Better battery!!!
4:22 I dont think that the problem with 5G is the modem, it's the network itself. I get 1,2 gbps with my p8pro...
My 8 pro fingerprint scanner works way better than my S23U, on Android 15 beta 3 and still way smoother than my S23U. Really the only thing the S23U has better is battery life and 200X zoom.
Flat screen getting exhausted by the 7 pro curved screen and screen protectors :D
ive no complaints for my pixel 8 so far, but for build quality and this dust gathering., it might be me, but i dont know why i feel like my screen showed few curves when shined in super bright light, well, i might be being too overprotective bcs i want my phone to last for 7 yrs. also, in shots like in 9:54, theres dust there, is it ok or do i have to clean it regularly cus i sometimes see it fall inside the frame of my phone
Bring back the wide selfie camera from the pixel 3. Why did they get rid of it
Battery life and connectivity is top 2 in my opinion
what about an 1 inch sensor, lydia 900 or better and an improved telephoto, like the one from the vivo x100 ultra? is it too much Google?
6:19 I SWEAR HE SAID PICKLE 9
I just hope for QI2 then it’s bye Apple.. I just can’t imagine my desk work/gaming setup or bedside table out it. Really turned out to be a bigger game changer than expected.. I always wanted after it was first released.but been using it since getting the IPhone 14..
If google fixed their bad battery life and performance, it's already a perfect phone, hell I'd choose it over 15 pro max or s24 ultra,i find 15 pro max too big and s24 ultra too boxy,pixel 9 seems to have curved edges and looks comfortable
I got the pink line of dread on my 8. Still love it.
no more wobbly volume rockers and power button would be great
Battery life and over heating hurt the pixel. Some one needs to show Google this review
I've repeatedly complained that I'm unable to access your website on my phone and elsewhere
Maybe on pixel 10 they should add more camera, just the same numbers as Samsung's Galaxy
