Just got a Pixel 9, from the Pixel 7a. It was less time for a new device than I prefer, but for a $400 carrier deal I had to upgrade just for the ultrasonic fingerprint reader, and I couldn't be more happy! The optical fingerprint reader on the 7a (and other models) sucks. I am worried about the camera glass, I suspect the Victus glass is not invulnerable, and it appears to be in a very vulnerable position.
I haven't messed around with the AI stuff yet but the UI is snappy and beautiful.

I bought a Pixel 8 (vanilla, not pro) in january and have to say I'm really disappointed. I have to add that I'm a long time Samsung galaxy user and switched to the pixel 8 from a S22 Ultra so I might be a bit biased. I knew I was trading down in some respects but I thought I was buying the iphone of the android world (i.e. the hardware-software integration, the updates etc.). Although a great phone in many respects, I was really let down by the software and not the hardware as I was expecting. I missed Samsung dex, I missed Samsung gallery (google photos being the dafault galary app is just... atrocius). Then I got affected by the screen issues (the infamous pink and green lines, the green flickering). So I decided to swith back to Samsung. Won't trust Googles devices ever again.

I just cannot fathom how they increase the size and weight of the phone year on year now. It's a tavisty. Give us an actual compact option!!

I had bought a camera lens protector to protect the camera glass and it has already broken within 4 days. This camera is begging to be broken.

For once I'm not too convinced with the Active Use Score in the battery test since historically (!) Tensors have inefficient modems. I know everyone has been saying the Pixel 9 is an improvement but it would be nice to have a quantified testing by someone as reputable as GSMArena....

Atleast my 2020 Moto G5G+ had less stutters just scrolling through the Play Store than the Pixel 8pro.
And in genshin we got about the same Framerate.
Tensor G3 = Snap 765 by felt real life Performance outside benchmarks.

They could throw the hardware in there to improve the higher-resolution photos, but without the storage to support it, it won't pan out well. phones are not supposed to replace every device in your life. It's a phone first and foremost. If you want to take professional photos and videos, get a professional-grade camera.
