Design and Display
The Pixel 9 stands slightly taller and thinner than its predecessor, yet boasting an inch larger actual display area. Furthermore, 400 nits brighter HDR support makes for double contrast ratio compared to Pixel 8. Furthermore, 4700mAh batteries promise up to 100 hours of use when in extreme battery saver mode, up from 72 for the Pixel 8.
Enhanced Durability and Performance
The Pixel 9 features Gorilla Glass Victus 2, an upgrade over previous models, as well as 4GB RAM compared to 8GB in its predecessor model, the Pixel 8. Additionally, Google introduced their Tensor G4 chip, replacing Tensor G3 in this device for the first time ever.
Camera Upgrades
The dual rear cameras on the Pixel 9 have also been improved from those found on its predecessor, including a 50 MP wide angle lens with macro focus, a 48 MP ultrawide lens, up to an 8x super resolution zoom capability, optical zoom options of 0.5x, 1x, and 2x respectively and optional waterproofing features.
New AI Features
New AI features include “Add Me” button in camera app which enables photographers to adjust your position in shots taken together; as well as Pixel Studio which enables creation from text prompts.
Design Impressions
I really admire the camera bar on the Pixel 9; its unique appearance really sets it apart. Furthermore, its glass back panel makes me happy – ever since iPhone 4, its “glass sandwich” design feels amazing when held.

Size and Handling
The Pixel 9 is roughly equivalent in size and handling to its Pro counterpart, yet smaller than Pro XL. Having recently used iPhone Pro Max phones, their larger screens made reaching across easier than with one hand – however with its 6.3-inch diagonal display the Pixel 9 excels one-handed use: my thumb easily reached nearly everything on screen making using it enjoyable experience.
However, Durability Concerns
Unfortunately, I found the device fragile enough that dropping it might break or shatter it; that was my main worry when purchasing one from Amazon without an integrated MagSafe-style case to protect my new purchase. Ultimately I ended up getting one from eBay as well and have not looked back since.
AI Capabilities and Limitations
Although other phones reserve AI features exclusively for high-end models, Google’s Pixel 9 series gives everyone access to its imaging and photographic AI magic courtesy of Tensor G4 chip technology. Now enjoy image prompts as well as “Add Me” photo feature without spending extra money for Pro models!
Pixel Studio, known in its app form as a preview, provides hours of entertainment while being somewhat limited in scope. With examples like magical castles and plush toys that showcase what it can create, each example also contains a button displaying all used prompts for reference when understanding how images are generated.
Once you create an image or select one from Google’s examples, style suggestions such as turning it into a 3D cartoon can be utilized and AI used to reinterpret prompt. Once complete, rate, share or download directly onto your phone!
Google Pixel 9 Review Conclusion
While AI technology can be impressive, its application can often prove disappointing in practice. If you are worried about AI stealing artists’ work or increasing carbon emission rates, avoid this tool entirely or only use AI-generated images sparingly if at all. Although this tech can now be found even on base model phones, its success as an application remains to be seen.
