Google Pixel 9 review: the phone that Android needs

Summary

Nutrition label

64% Informative

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

It's pricier than last year’s model at $ 799 versus $ 699 , that's basically the going rate for a non-Pro phone.

For the first time, the Pixel line feels like it has earned a place right alongside Samsung and Apple .

The Pixel 9 is a phone that the Android ecosystem has needed for a while now.

It doesn’t have every fancy feature or the best camera hardware, but it has enough to make it a worthy alternative to Samsung ’s base-model S-series, which is more or less the default Android phone.

The phone also comes with something more important but much less flashy: seven years of OS updates.
