  1. Gemini mobile app available on select devices, languages, and countries. Results for illustrative purposes and may vary. Internet connection required. Check responses for accuracy.
  2. Estimated battery life based on testing using a median Pixel user battery usage profile across a mix of talk, data, standby, and use of other features. Battery testing conducted on a major U.S. carrier network on pre-production hardware and software using default settings. Tests began with phones fully charged. Battery life depends upon many factors and usage of certain features will decrease battery life. Actual battery life may be lower. Over time, Pixel software will manage battery performance to help maintain battery health as your battery ages. See g.co/pixel/batteryhealth for details.
  3. Results may vary. Not available for all cameras, apps, or modes.
  4. Designed to comply with dust and water protection rating IP68 under IEC standard 60529 when each device leaves the factory but the device is not water or dust proof. The accessories are not water or dust resistant. Water resistance and dust resistance are not permanent conditions and will diminish or be lost over time due to normal wear and tear, device repair, disassembly or damage. The phone is not drop/tumble proof and dropping your device may result in loss of water/dust resistance. Damage from drops, tumbles, and other external forces is not covered under warranty. Liquid damage voids the warranty. See g.co/pixel/water for details.
  5. Results for illustrative purposes and may vary. Check responses for accuracy. Compatible with certain features and certain accounts. Internet connection required. Available on select devices, languages and countries. Only available to users 18 years and older.

  7. Car Crash Detection not available in all languages or countries. Car Crash Detection may not detect all accidents. High-impact activities may trigger Car Crash Detection. This feature is dependent upon network connectivity and other factors and may not be reliable for emergency communications or available in all areas. See g.co/pixel/carcrashdetection for details.
  8. Availability of features may vary by market.
  9. Not available in all countries or languages. Availability and call quality depends on the environment, carrier network conditions, and many other factors. Actual results may vary. See g.co/pixel/callassist for details.

Beat the Bloat

sapphiresea . 5 months ago

Check Mark GraphicYes, I'd recommend this product.
What a terrific phone! This is the first Google Pixel I've had, switching over from a Samsung Galaxy. This is pretty much the perfect phone in imo: beautiful design, more compact size, gorgeous graphics, faster than imagined, the easiest set-up every. I always dread the initial set-up/transfer with a new phone. This time I linked the two phones, touched the screens as instructed, and voila. It's absolutely seamless! Okay, it has been four years since I bought a new phone so things are better-faster-sleeker. And the more streamlined Google Pixel experience is 100% preferable to the Samsung "bloat." NEVER going back.

I received a refurbished Pixel 9A model because the battery gets hot when charging. I now have to waste my time scheduling an appointment to go to 100 Wall St, NYC to pick up a NEW Pixel 9A. So far you rate 1 STAR.

Trade in value

3 out of 5 rating

M morrison . 6 months ago

The new phone is fine and meets my needs. I’m very disappointed that the value of my trade in was reduced so drastically without any explanation. It still worked and spent its life in a protective case with a screen shield, so if there is something about that model that reduces its value I should have been warned when I accepted the deal. Yes, I understand I have no real recourse.
