Google was always less concerned about making its phones look as cool as competitors — instead, its focus has been on unique camera tech and early AI capabilities. Since 2021's Pixel 6, their cases have also been dominated by a massive rear camera bar, something that allows for large sensors but is undoubtedly polarizing.
The Pixel 9's cameras have also been totally revamped. In addition to the 50 megapixel main lens, there's also a new 48 megapixel ultrawide that can take Macro Focus shots. The 10.5MP front camera also gets auto focus this year — something that was surprisingly left out in the past.

The Pixel 9 starts at $799 with 128GB of storage, but you can also upgrade to 256GB. It's available in a slew of colors: Porcelain, Wintergreen, Peony and Obsidian.
