The wait is finally over! Google's latest flagship, the Pixel 9, has landed on our doorstep, and we're thrilled to give you a first look. Straight out of the box, the packaging maintains Google's minimalist and eco-friendly approach, featuring a compact, plastic-free design.
Inside, you'll find the Pixel 9 device itself, nestled securely. Alongside the phone, there's the usual USB-C to USB-C cable and a SIM ejector tool. As expected, the charger is no longer included in the box, a trend that continues across the smartphone industry.
Initial Setup Experience
Powering on the Pixel 9 reveals a vibrant, crisp display. The setup process is as smooth and intuitive as we've come to expect from Android. Connecting to Wi-Fi, signing into your Google account, and transferring data from an old device are all streamlined. The "Now Playing" feature is already active, identifying music in the background.
We'll be diving deeper into the camera capabilities, performance, battery life, and new software features in our full review, but these initial moments suggest that Google has once again delivered a polished and user-friendly smartphone experience.
