Thanks to Google’s decision to get ahead of the curve and drop new devices in August, we’re almost 100 days into the life of the Pixel 9. The big drop of Android 15 means the final piece of the puzzle has been added, but does that make the entry-level model a better buy?

    Thanks for sharing!

    I didn’t want this to be my conclusion, but the Pixel 9 is somewhat overshadowed by one of its siblings – the Pixel 9 Pro. While I can easily recommend the cheapest device in the 9 series, this year, the middle child gives you all of the best bits in the exact same chassis, which means fewer compromises. You’ll need to work out if the $200 increase is worth it before discounts start to chip at this cost discrepancy.

    I like the Pixel 9, but it’s not the best base model anymore.

    Interesting conclusion

      Yeah I recently upgraded to the pixel 9 pro and I’m loving it. I’m writing up a review for it. But It makes me question wtf happened to the xl model. It has a 6% better battery, fast charging and Larger screen/vapor chamber.
