Google Pixel 9 MORE PICTURES

Google Pixel 9

User opinions and reviews

Sort by:

honestly i think the pixel 9 series designs are the most overrated designs ever, every other pixel besides the original and pixel 2 look better than this.

    Hi everyone

    Just want some advice. I had a pixel 6 but the motherboard got damaged so I didn't buy pixel again. The only issue I had with the pixel 6 was the display. It was abit bull and the brightness was low. How is the screen in this phone. I am currently using a galaxy A54. And the screen on that is really good. My other thing is camera quality. Is it good as well

    Thanks for the help

      Let's say you don't log in to Goggle, the device is already anonymized and free from their invasive codes, then even with their bunches of trackers everywhere they won't know who they are tracking (as they cannot match meta data with goggle account).
      So the trackers aren't actually much concern as long as Goggle cannot match the data with the account, but it is a big concern for people with standard Googgle android (also with iPhone with Goggle account).

        To be sure about details some investigation is needed what metadata is sent over network when devices connects to the google play server.
        Either with GOS and aurora app and gplay app. Are there any differences and if so called "sandboxing" actually discloses any data, metadata to the google servers.
        For example aurora store uses multiple fake accounts to get apps, there could be a pool of hundreds of thousands, millions of users who use same account pool which is not that big, like 100-1000 accounts. Who knows if google even try to write any specific software that actually tracks down those users who using gplay in different ways with non-conventional OS'es, apps and etc.

          Once you use it and sign in to Goggle, you are dealing with Goggle proprietary code, and you will never find out what proprietary code is doing behind your (I'm pretty sure Goggle is aware of GOS features too).
          You already know these basics, I suppose.
          For other features that you are unsure about, don't try to mess around with it (which is why I prefer simpler way using microg - it just sends message to apps that the device has goggle services while it doesn't. However, again, if you log in to Goggle with microg, then it will be just as bad as logging in to Goggle with playstore sandboxing).
          Keep it simple and clean, then you won't have to go down too deep into rabbit hole.

            I can't see any way to track your device, unless you give very specific patterns at browsing.
            Please explicitly explain.

                I've seen many GOS trolls on various platforms, sounding very similar to you - Mixing up Cyber Security with Privacy.
                There 2 topics are completely different.
                You wanna be private then you should NOT be loggin into Goggle on any device, otherwise G will eventually drag you into rabbit hole as it has a lot of trackers in order to identify you.
                Therefore, I don't see anything better about Privacy with GOS when compared with others., in fact, as I said previously, it's so much easier to keep the device private with microg without login in to goggle.

But currently I understand that hardware specifics virtualization that is done in grapheneOS and extra memory safety features are added too, like strengthened virtual memory allocators. So I guess while google store still can find out that pixel 9 is pixel 9, but it cannot get actual specific identifiers from a device so it can't find which specific pixel 9 device it is. If you use google account for google play , it's the only way for google to specify user. If you use aurora you can get apps anonymously, aurora uses public google accounts pool that is shared between millions of users, so specifying users is futile. Even if you install some very intrusive apps that has multiple hidden permission to look up at memory, those apps will be locked and will fail, crash. Anyway to get full understanding of GrapheneOs we would need very technical audition, testing, debugging and source code examination to get actual real view on this OS.

                            I'm looking to replace my ageing Pixel 8. I know there are hundreds of reviews out there but is the Pixel 9 Pro worth the price for it's upgrades than the Pixel 9?
                            Or would a Pixel 9 suffice albeit "incremental" upgrades over the Pixel 8?
                            Or save money and get a Galaxy S24 256GB (w/ UFS 4.0) instead?
