Google’s latest flagship, the Pixel 9, is here to raise the bar on what one can expect from a premium smartphone – most notably in the fields of photography and video. Launched in September, this Android phone is very popular with its mind-boggling performance, seamless integration with Gemini AI, and, most importantly, world-class camera capabilities.
While Pixel phones have been praised in the past for their incredible value and camera prowess, the Pixel 9 takes it to the next level – particularly now that it’s available at an all-time low. Amazon currently has the Pixel 9 listed with 256GB storage for a mere $699, a staggering 22% discount from its retail price of $899. You can also get the 128GB model for $599 down from $799.
Best Camera Phone
Pixel 9 is typically the highest-rated smartphone on the market for both photography and videography. Its pro-level camera technology uses Google’s own AI and computational photography capabilities to provide images and videos that are on par with and frequently better than, those of much more costly rivals. From everyday snaps or low-light photography, Pixel 9 provides clear, bright and life-like output. The camera on the phone is equally stunning, delivering silky-smooth stabilization, rich colors with its capture and AI-edited capabilities thanks to Gemini AI driving the process.
Its camera boasts a main sensor with advanced pixel-binning technology for better low-light performance an ultra-wide-angle lens for expansive shots, and a suite of AI-powered features like Magic Eraser, Night Sight, and Real Tone. Video recording isn’t left out, either, with 4K resolution at 60 frames per second, cinematic stabilization, and AI-fortified optimization that makes each clip appear as if it had a pro behind the camera.
Internally, the Pixel 9 is powered by Google’s latest Tensor chip delivering zip in terms of performance, effortless multitasking and organic integration within Google’s ecosystem. The smartphone has a 6.3-inch Actua screen, which provides sharp images, rich blacks, and a silky smooth 120Hz refresh rate for seamless scrolling and gaming. The screen is bright and colorful with no struggle to use it in direct sunlight or outdoors.
The Pixel 9 promises up to 24 hours of usage from a single charge. Wireless charging is also enabled, adding to the device’s convenience and versatility.
At the software level, Pixel 9 runs on the newest version of Android, guaranteed updates and security patches for future years.
