Calling a $800 base phone a "taster" is a bit... Well, out of touch? That's a full blown meal at that price.

Just ordered the Pixel 9 256GB and got a trade-in value of $699.00 for my Pixel 8 Pro. I only went pro for the telephoto and don't actually use it so down sized.

If only Google did first class advertising like Apple, Google would be sooo UP THERE! Pixel 9 Pro seems solid!!

[DThimself]

Gonna be happily going from Pixel 7 to Pixel 9 Pro

It's amazing that they offer a smaller, premium Pixel. Personally, I hope for an even smaller (6-inch) Pixel 9a, to replace my Pixel 5.

128gb in 2024 for 1k device is shame.
Storage is cheap but they are greedy just like apple

I just want to know if thermals are improved or not

[shiguy]

I just want to know how the battery is. Any news on that?

[michaeljeacock]

can you turn off Gemini and go back to the Assistant that actually works?

[MoazzamHaider]

What is the future of Pixel A series? Should we expect a Pixel 9a?

[fightnight]

The real prices are:
$649
$799
$899
I expect that this is gonna be the Black Friday sale prices.

The most interesting pixel generation. Finally google nailed it in every aspect...even the base model is so sleek! Finally on par with samsung S series and iphone. Kuddos!
All in for the Hazel color in smaller Pro. 🔥

If I'm correct going with the regular 9 over the pro 9, we're missing sliiightly brighter display (on paper), telephoto lens and the nightmode for video

[AJFulford]

excited to use gemini as new assistant... one day, maybe, they'll add video scrubbing like the iphone does so well

[derikjohnson]

I feel like this phone is one to really try and enjoy. I’m more comfortable switching to something like this due to it looking more modern and also allows so much freedom.

Hey, the routines are working with the Gemini as well. Now I said good morning to Gemini and it shows me the same behavior which I set for my good morning routine on Google Assistant. Officially Google didn't report anything regarding routines in assistant and currently we don't have any option to manage routines. But if you say the prompt you set for your routine, it will work. If you need a demo let me know how can I send you. Thank you

[justinadams]

Still not sure if an upgrade now should be what I do or wait for the pixel 10. It all depends on how excited I get lol!

[dylanguerrero]

PIxels: We no can dunk. But good fundamentals.

[Charkatak]

Does Pixel 9 Pro feel "top heavy" when using one handed? My Pixel 7 with 6.3 inch screen did.

[Garrettdx]

Based on the disappointing leaked benchmarks, I hope that the vapor chamber in the Pros at least give it top of the line stability for extended workloads or emulation
