With Samsung’s big summer launch already in the rear-view mirror, Android fans who thrive on novelty are turning their attention to what’s next — and in just one short month, that’s set to be Google’s Pixel 9. As we get ready for the Pixel 9 launch, we’ve been thinking a bit about what changes promise to make this coming generation particularly special. Is there going to be enough new and enticing here to convince existing Pixel fans to upgrade? We recently asked our readers some questions along those lines, and the results are now in.
This year might be a little trickier than normal for Google to sell its new Pixel, and its own worst enemy could be itself. After all, it looks like Google could switch manufacturing partners for the Tensor G5 chip that should power next year’s Pixel 10, and that has the potential to be a reasonably big deal for performance. On its own, that might convince more patient shoppers to wait.
