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
Google account is all I need from this company. They can cram the rest of it right up their collective butts.
Not interested in their hardware or software beyond that. Why people look at the Pixel as the iPhone of Android is absolutely mind boggling to me.
