The chip in the Google Pixel 9 chip is a very small upgrade over its predecessor, making the new exclusive features purely artifical locks.

      What else about P9 is underwhelming? Genuinely curious, not trying to start an argument. I’ll be upgrading from a pixel 6, so maybe that’s why it all sounds fine to me. Ultrasonic fingerprint scanner was my biggest request and it sounds like that’s in.

    SoC is a nothing burger plus we are sticking with the same line of modems that are famous for connectivity issues and excessive power consumption on American carriers (I’ve personally had these issues that led me to sell my 8 Pro).

    Not only is this disappointing news, but I struggle to call the device a flagship phone, and it’s not even properly released yet. It is so far behind in the hardware department. As far as I’m concerned, they re-released the Pixel 8. What Pixel 9?

      It actually has a slightly newer modem, though we’ll see if it actually addresses those issues.
