Google’s new Pixel 9, with its updated design looks great but it’s really what’s inside that counts.

Starting at 1349 dollars, the Pixel 9 is the most affordable of the new Pixel smartphone line-up, but it’s packed with plenty of premium features.

The AI tools, like the Pixel Studio app for generating images and Pixel Screenshots for quick content search, are fun and practical. The camera, upgraded with a 48-megapixel ultrawide lens, delivers vivid photos, and the battery is bigger and can charge to 55% in about 30 minutes.

Google have introduced some different colours to tick off the fashion box this year with Peony (pictured here), Wintergreen, Porcelain and Obsidian.

Overall, the Pixel 9 is a well-rounded smartphone that combines Google’s elegant design with innovative features (including the updated processor) that make it worth considering for your next upgrade.
