Unboxing Google's Pixel 9, the cheapest of that flagship phone foursome, with more basic camera tech but the same Tensor G4 AI shenanigans. Ahead of my Pixel 9 review, here's a closer look at the best features and bits of Google's mini marvel.

Check out my comparison vs the Pro and Pro XL to see how all of the 2024 smartphones stack up!

While the Pro phones boast a telephoto camera lens, the regular Google Pixel 9 makes do with digital zoom. Likewise you're missing a few other features, like UWB, an LTPO screen and the temperature sensor. But you're still getting that full AI experience thanks to the Tensor G4 that runs the show.

Battery life is excellent here too. The Pixel 9, like its Pro siblings, can last all day without a strain. And yes, while there's no zoom lens, the camera tech pumps out crisp, realistic pictures and respectable 4K video (although the focus is a bit borky at times).

As usual, Google is also offering a full seven years of Android and software updates here. So the Pixel 9 won't be defunct any time soon! Check back soon for a full review and have a look at my tips and tricks guide for more on the AI features.
