Google Pixel 9 First Impressions

There are some phones that create a buzz that is outsized. Not enough people might be buying them, for this reason or that, and in some parts of the world they might not even be available, but every time Google brings out new Pixels, we all look at these phones with the excitement and attention that we usually reserve for the iPhone.

Reason: The Pixel phones, for all that they offer or not offer, are always packed with innovative and "googly" stuff that is unique. The Pixel 9 and the Pixel 9 Pro XL, now available in India, are no exception. The number of AI features, powered by Google Gemini, is mind-boggling.

After spending a few days with the Pixel 9 and the Pixel 9 Pro XL, over here at India Today Tech we find that the new Pixels not only have the usual "Google" uniqueness built into them, this time around they also have improved hardware and design that make them extra appealing.
