This powerful 5G Google Pixel 10 smartphone will feature 8GB of RAM, a powerful battery, and 48MP Camera.
Price Dropped… But Is Pixel 9 Finally Worth It in 2026?
The price of the Google Pixel 9 has dropped. However, the biggest question remains: should you buy the Google Pixel in 2026, or not? This is a pertinent question because—as you may have noticed with the smartphones launching currently—the prices for most devices have skyrocketed, yet their specifications often remain distinctly mid-range. So, does this phone offer a better value proposition compared to other smartphones? Today, we will conduct a detailed review to explore exactly what positive features the Pixel lineup offers overall, as well as the aspects that—even at this price point—still feel somewhat unjustified.
Compact, Premium, and Underrated? Pixel 9’s Design Might Surprise You!
Starting with the design, this smartphone is notably compact. However, in terms of slimness, it comes with a thickness of nearly 8.9 mm; so, while it isn’t exactly “slim,” it doesn’t feel heavy either, weighing in at under 190 grams. The back panel is constructed from polycarbonate, yet the in-hand feel is incredibly smooth and feels excellent to hold. There is no noticeable camera bump, and the frame is crafted from aluminum. Consequently, the overall in-hand feel of the phone is distinctly premium.
Premium Features at This Price?! Pixel 9 Feels Flagship… But There’s a Catch!
Two other premium features worth highlighting are its speakers and its haptics; regarding the latter, I doubt you will find any other device in this price range that offers a superior haptic experience. Furthermore, the in-display fingerprint sensor works flawlessly, presenting no issues whatsoever. Another excellent feature is the inclusion of a USB 3.2 Gen port, which ensures that data transfer speeds remain exceptionally fast. In terms of IP rating, you get an IP68 certification, so there are no issues on that front either. However, there is a minor drawback: the display features Gorilla Glass Victus 3, which is a rather dated technology. So, yes, you should definitely apply a tempered glass screen protector.
Stunning Display… But Those Bezels Might Ruin It for You!
Moving to the front of the device, you are greeted by a 6.3-inch OLED panel boasting a 120Hz refresh rate. It remains easily visible even outdoors; I believe its peak brightness reaches up to 2700 nits. You will thoroughly enjoy watching any kind of content on it. The only thing you might not appreciate is the bezels; they are quite thick. Those black borders could certainly have been slimmed down a bit. However, once you get used to them, the overall display experience feels quite premium. So, all things considered, the display is excellent. But how does the phone perform?

Budget Price, Flagship Power? Pixel 9 Performance Might Shock You!
Under the hood, you will find the Tensor G4 chip. As for RAM and storage, there is only one available variant: a base configuration of 8GB RAM paired with 256GB of storage. In my opinion, this variant is perfectly adequate. Additionally, it utilizes UFS 3.1 storage technology. You can check out the storage speed test results here; we also ran multiple benchmarks on the device, and it delivered some very impressive numbers—especially considering the price point at which it is being offered.
