The Google Pixel 9 is finally here, bringing with it an all-new design that promises to be sleek, pocketable, offering one of Google’s best cameras to date and packs in an all who chipset that powers a bunch of new AI features. Unfortunately, the price has gone up and you’ll have to wait for Android 15.
Prices for the Pixel 9 start at $799, which is $100 more than you would have paid for a brand new Google Pixel 8. The phone will also come running Android 14 at launch, and we still don’t know when Android 15 will be officially released. Still you are getting a bunch of upgrades and features with the Pixel 9, including hardware to power newer and better AI features. Whether that’s worth the increased price of admission is entirely up to you.
