Anonymous, 12 Dec 2024True, but 9 series sales are the highest to date. I'd say their monopoly has only just begun.Pixel 9 Pro is selling well because finally they have been able to put great display, great hardware and great modem inside such compact body. I hope Tensor G5 brings more power than G4. Rest is okay. I don't mind.
Casio, 12 Dec 2024it should be priced at half of $499/$549 for what it offers, the google monoply era is overEverything is good except camera sensor. They are outright downgrade. I don't recommend this phone Unless and until google drops the price to 299.
markiz, 12 Dec 2024Because that is what buyers prefer. You are a minority still. But I agree, there should be ... morePeople prefered Pixel 9 Pro over XL this year. As battery life and size makes sense to them. Infact Google did something terribly wrong this year. Pixel 9 Pro has far better battery life than 9 Pro XL for some odd reason. Difference is evident even more after A15 update.
Canada, 12 Dec 2024Google make some wierd choices, android need good specs if apple is going for 8 GB ram atleast... moreIf you want best battery life in current released phones.
1. Pixel 9 Pro(On Wifi 6E router, it gets insane battery life, before needing charger)
2. iQOO 13(I don't know what they have done with display this time, battery life is incredible).
3. Vivo X200 Pro(They have used top display with LTPO technology along with RR dropping even below 1Hz).

How you are saying it is similar to snapdragon 8s Gen 3? Tensor G4 matches snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 performance. Tensor G5 should match snapdragon 8 Gen 2 at any cost and battery life should be insane as it will be based on TSMC 2nd generation 3nm.
ChiefDG, 12 Dec 2024Google might have a chance of knocking this right out of the park. Funny that the lowest end 9... moreI will recommend not to use this phone to everyone.
LGs, 12 Dec 2024I wait on Pixel 10 series with 5500mAh+ battery, 9a with 5100..I doubt that will happen. But battery life on Pixel 10 Pro will be insane.
DomtheCuber, 12 Dec 2024Why does Google keep making the A series slightly bigger every year? A lot of people really li... morePhones at 499 should not use mmwave antenna itself. Sub-6Ghz 5G is fine for these devices. Give support for Wifi 7 and it will be fine. Everyone should use 1Gbps and Wifi 7 router now.
TruthHurts, 12 Dec 20245100 Mah battery in a 6.2" phone. That sounds sounds too good to be true. From now onward... moreWhat to do with battery life? Camera is biggest downgrade in history of Pixel.
Bashar, 12 Dec 2024In terms of camera; it's a downgrade coming from the 8a and even the 7aYes. Google has gone mad. I hope Google Pixel 10 Pro uses Lytia 818 or OV50H/OV50K instead of what they are using right now.
Anonymous, 12 Dec 2024Too expensive compared to regular 9. Should be 399.128Gb as a base model on 2025 is criminal
markiz, 12 Dec 2024Because that is what buyers prefer. You are a minority still. But I agree, there should be ... moreThe 3a did come in a regular and an XL variant, but hardly anyone bought either model. The next year, the 4a came in a smaller 4G version while a larger 5G version (that I purchased and used for three years) was released months later. But Google's strategy that year seemingly cannibalized all of their phone sales, since the Pixel 5 was in many ways a downgrade from both the 4 from the previous year, and also the simultaneously released 4a 5G. The only real reason to get the 5 was if you wanted MMWave 5G, and were not on Verizon, which describes three people in the whole world.
IMX363, 21 hours agoToo big! 5.8" on the 4a was perfect. I would even prefer 5.5". Why would anyone ... moreLiterally better everything?
Anonymous, 22 hours agoG4 performance is hilarious, between 50 to 80 worst than the 8 gen 3, basically a 7 gen 3. Sho... moreThat’s why I’m looking at the 9a and 9a only, lol.
Bob, 12 Dec 2024compared to the competition i think it is overpriced for what you get. it's only plus poi... moreNot when you consider the software, features, updates, camera, battery, size, and brand. They matter.
9A is the only 9 series that come out with Android 15 out of the box. The other 9 series will give you only 6 OS updates in total so they end on A21 while 9a on A22
Pixel Xa series use to be more compact in size then others in the series while now it's bigger then 9 and 9 Pro even tough they are also 6.3 inch screen but are 152mm tall while 9a is 154mm tall.
But then again 9 series is a total fail and it's best to go with Pixel 8 series as the price have dropped and you wont miss out on updates too. While performance change is microscopic
Too big! 5.8" on the 4a was perfect. I would even prefer 5.5".
Why would anyone get a flagship though? Mid rangers are knocking on their door. The technology is pushing things forward, no matter how much they try to hold it back.
For example, 128GB should not be around in mid-rangers and flagships in 2024. But they are still using it to push people into 256GB. UFS 4.0 starts at 256GB. They will have to switch to it eventually, whether they want it or not.
120Hz screen tech already got pushed into mid and even budget range.
UWB and telephoto lens is what's left.
Should have been gnj main cam+ jn5 ultrawide
8a : sony 1/1.76"
9a: samsung 1/2"
