The phone uses the Google Tensor G4 with the Titan M2 security chip, 12GB of RAM and 128GB or 256GB of storage. Google promises seven years of OS and security updates. SpecHub has not benchmarked the phone.
The 6.3-inch Actua OLED display has 1080 x 2424 pixels and a refresh rate of 60-120Hz, with a peak brightness of up to 2,700 nits. The Pixel 9 Pro has the same screen size but a higher-resolution LTPO panel with a peak of 3,000 nits.
The rear cameras are a 50MP main and a 48MP ultrawide, and the front camera is 10.5MP. There is no telephoto lens, which the Pro models add. SpecHub has not tested image quality.
The battery is 4700 mAh with 27W wired charging and 15W wireless charging, plus Battery Share. We have no endurance tests.
The phone launched with Android 14 and has Gorilla Glass Victus 2 and IP68 resistance.
People who want a current, compact Pixel with long update support and a bright display will find it a good match.
Buyers who want a telephoto camera, 16GB of RAM or faster wireless charging should look at the Pixel 9 Pro. Those who want a lower price may prefer the Pixel 9a.
The Pixel 9 is a well-specified standard Pixel with a bright display and long support. Its base storage and lack of a telephoto lens are its main limits.
