I went hands-on with every Google Pixel 9 model, and this is the one you should buy


The new Google Pixel 9 series has slimmer, flatter designs, improved camera hardware, and AI features that you may actually want to use.

I spent an intimate morning with the latest devices ahead of today's Made by Google event, and the new design language -- which favors flattened edges, pastel colors, and ultra-thin bezels -- often reminded me of the iPhone 15 Pro that was tucked in my pocket. Those are all flagship-grade features, ones you'd typically find on a phone that costs hundreds of dollars more, but I'd bet that many customers will consider the Pixel 9 for one other reason: color options. I commend Google for being a little more ambitious with its industrial design this year, coating the flattened form factor with pastel hues that can be best described as refreshing.
