In a new report, it’s found that the Google Pixel 9 launch has led to the “highest-ever” sales for a single quarter.
I wonder how much of this can be attributed to the 9 pro being a more normal size? Better camera, no gimmicky curved edge, and still fits in a pocket.
Honestly, this thing blows my 6 pro out of the water.
For all those reasons.
I got it for that reason but it still feels too big
It’s thicker than I’d have hoped, but the side to side decrease in size is amazing compared to my P6P.
I’d take thick over less battery any day.
that’s what she said
Fuck Google.
How daring
How does “daring” factor in here?
Bold, even
I see copying Apple’s homework continues to be a lucrative, if boring and dystopian, strategy for phone manufacturers
I think it’s great, because you get a good quality phone you can stick Graphene OS on and say fuck off, Google…
Think about it. You get a Google phone, to get further away from Google, because it has the best support for third party ROMs. It’s maddening.

How’s graphene on the 9? I’m procrastinating but my 5 is dying
Apple hasn’t been an industry leader for decades. The reality is actually the opposite of what you said. There’s no innovation coming out of iOS. Android launches cool features and 4-6 years later iOS might add them. Sometimes their additions are crap, like their implementation of closed captioning, which only works for a couple of sentences and then stops. Their keyboard scrubbing is inferior too, as are many other parts of the OS. iPhone does have some good things going for it, but they’re far from innovators or industry leaders these days.
How exactly has apple not been an industry leader? They are the industry leader.
Didn’t say they were. But the pixel 9 undeniably looks more like an iPhone than previous pixels.
Frankly, I haven’t seen anything I would call innovation from any manufacturer in the smartphone industry in years. Just the occasional parlor trick. The industry is continuing its slow crawl towards more and more similar devices.
And I’m writing this from a pixel 8, for whatever that’s worth.
Yeah, for what it’s worth, so people don’t think I’m a fanboy, I am on a Pixel 7, but I bought the iPhone 16 Pro, pretty excited to try it out, and returned it within a week. It did not meet my expectations for a $1200 phone.
Yeah because Apple was the first. 🙄
Apple has quite literally never invented anything, everything they do is copying, shut the hell up
