Google Pixel 9 Series – Major Overhaul, But There’s A Catch?

38 Comments

1. I don’t want the boxy design. Curved edges are the way to go!

2. 6.1 size is already dead; you can't fill in with flagship features in that small, compact phone. Anything above 6.3 makes sense for flagship

   Also, Google wastes time on changing designs every year.

   Pixel 6 and 8 Pro have the best designs; they should probably have kept Pixel 6 designs for 3 or 4 years and then 8 Pro designs for another 4 years and probably research on the quality of materials, colours, and hardware.

   this process would have kept the pixels much stronger in global market. competing with Samsung and the iPhone.

3. I hope the camera housing is more rectangular just like how they did it in the Pixel Fold.

4. Seriously 700 and 1000 😒

5. I wish they could keep the finger scan in the back.
   going with Huawei mate 70 pro… do you have a review for this one

6. But. 1000£ or 1000$ is still far too expensive for a smartphone in 2024. ( Isn't it?)

7. AM I correct in thinking that Google is an American company? So why not make them in the USA. Or in fact in Europe. Stop All the issues with trading through the Red Sea and Suez canal?

8. And. Please. A power button on one side and the volume on the other side! As in the one plus phones

9. Am i alone in Possibly wanting a 7 inch phone. As in the old Huawei p20? If my memory serves me correctly?

10. If Google makes a Pro Max version, with a larger display, maybe. Remember how great the s20 Ultra's 6.9" display was?

11. I only wish the pixels custom chip would be manufactured by tsmc and not Samsung

12. i dont understand the hate on the tensor chips. they might be slower on paper but in reality there isn't a noticeable difference. they run smooth, cool, and fast enough to keep up with everyday needs. the only people who are going to care are spec sheet worriers that need a reality check.

13. Dude can’t even pronounce his name properly

14. Amazing how even Samsung knows that the Snapdragon chipset is better than the Samsung Exynos, so they use Snapdragon in their best flagships. Yet Google is using a Exynos base design chipset… And Samsung is laughing taking a huge chunk of the high end smartphone market, by selling their phones with Snapdragon.
    Unbelievable.

    If Google would just use the best SOC in the game, they would easily double their sales in 1 year

15. I like to watch things that I can't afford

16. I was expecting a slightly rounded rectangular camera module like on the Fold. This pill-shaped one doesn't gel well with the overall design. Also the edge looks sharp just like the current ones 🫤

17. My past three phones have been one Nexus phone and two Pixel phones. I'm probably going away from the crowd here but i have no intentions of getting a phone with a smaller screen size. I would honestly be happy if it was a little larger. I'll switch manufacturers if they shrink the screen and this 7pro dies during the smaller 9pro's time on the market.

18. I'm moving to Pixel after 8 years of using iphone

19. I have owned more Android phones than iPhones and I know that android manufacturers introduced a lot features now adopted by iPhone but when it comes to design you gotta hand it to Apple, they dictated the landscape time and time again. When iPhone changes it's design you just know that a couple of years later all Android phones look similar, it happened at the beginning in 2007, it happened with glass backs, it happened with the bezelless screen and it's happening now with the boxy look. It's almost comical.

20. I am buying it.

21. If pixel 9 pro has a flat display will change over to pixel

22. will only go back to Pixel when they:
    
    1. Go back to TSMC/Snapdragon
    
    2. Video over usb-c (and desktop mode would be a nice feature along with it)
    
    3. Routines feature

23. Didn't realise the tensor chip was just a renamed exynos chip 😬🤮😭

24. So have all phone developers given up on the idea of a front camera lens behind the front screen? It seems like Samsung and Google are content with a hole punch and, well…Apple has the Dynamic Island.

25. Bruh I still have google pixel 2 😂

26. Hi friend, is it possible that Google will add in the next future update the Phone Call Translate technology, i.e. the translation of calls in real time, it's like the Samsung S24 Ultra.

27. Are we seeing iPhone trends with the exterior?

28. why google insist on that crappy exynos chip is bewildering…

29. nexus 5 was peak everything else is trash

30. Is it a Major overhaul if Google still lags behind the hardware of the iphone 15, S24 or One Plus 12? Making the Pixel 9 Look more like an iPhone without offering the hardware upgrades is weak. I've hung on to my Pixel 7 waiting for Google to pull their head out. But I'm not going to pay flagship pricing for less than flagship hardware.

31. Google is not selling in some Asian Market such as Philippines, I wonder why… they have a decent fanbase in there.

32. dumbest thing was to increase the size to 6.4" and now they are slowly making it smaller.. the pixel 6 was so bad.

33. I'm just hoping it's comfortable to hold like pixel phones usually are

34. Samsung still blessing the pixel
    When you are big, you are big

35. Anyone here noticed not noticing Pocketnow on their feed?

36. Asus Zenfone 11 kicks Pixel 9 in the balls so hard

37. Pixel 3 a XL and 6… Waiting for the 9pro.

38. Last Android standing (Pixel 6). The rest of the fam have moved to Apple😢
