Google finally created a phone worthy of the flagship title in every way

The Pixel 9 Pro is a brilliant piece of technology, but the software isn't what makes this entry in the series stand out.

Instead of questionable design choices for the hardware (like the unsightly camera hump, too-slick glass, and oddly-beveled edges), Google was opting for a classier look. The Pixel 9 Pro takes this up a notch and finally, Android can really show off animations on par with iOS. Instead of placing it on its cradle so it could charge, I decided to use it and wait until my usual time (around 6PM -- I like to completely disconnect at the end of the day) to set it on the Pixel stand.
