Google Pixel 9 Pro review: the iPhone of Android

The Google Pixel 9 Pro is the middle child of the Pixel 9 line.

It’s physically the same size as the base model Pixel 9 , but it has the same features as the larger.

The 6.3-inch display has a Super Actua OLED display, 1280 x 2856 resolution at 495 ppi, 1-120Hz refresh rate, 2,000 nits ( HDR ) and 3,000 -nits (peak) Google gave us a pink color, which I absolutely love.

The Pixel 9 Pro is equipped with a triple-lens camera system on the rear that features a 50 -megapixel main camera, 48MP ultrawide camera, and 48MP telephoto camera.

On the front, we have a 42MP selfie camera, which significantly improved from its 10.5MP predecessor.

The most peculiar thing about the Pixel 9 line this year is that it ships with Android 14 , not Android 15 .

With the Pixel 9 Pro devices (including the XL and Fold ) you can also get a year of Gemini Advanced for free.

Gemini Live is Google ’s conversational experience with Gemini that allows you to have a free-flowing conversation with Gemini as if it’re an actual person.

Google has added more AI photo tools to its Pixel 9 lineup, including Add Me and Reimagine .
