Pixel 9 Dual SIM Obsidian 12GB RAM 128GB 5G - International Version

The display is a highlight of the Pixel 9. At 6.3-inch, it is slightly larger than the Pixel 8 but remains comfortably accessible for one-handed use. Google has enhanced both the resolution and peak brightness of the OLED panel, and the improvements are immediately noticeable. The Pixel 9’s display delivers vibrant colours and smooth visuals thanks to its 120Hz refresh rate., On the audio side, the Pixel 9’s built-in stereo speakers are flat and lack depth, particularly in terms of bass. While the audio output is clear, the volume is best suited for indoor use. For enhanced sound quality with paired devices, the Pixel 9 supports Spatial audio for select media and Advanced Audio Codec (AAC) for high-definition audio on compatible headphones. However, it does not feature Dolby Atmos surround sound support., On paper, the Pixel 9 features the same primary and ultra-wide camera sensors as its Pro counterparts, with identical apertures and fields of view. However, Google may have applied different software optimisation techniques. The output from both the 50MP primary lens and 48MP ultra-wide-angle camera results in 12.5MP images. Photos from both cameras are impressive, with true-to-life colours, appropriate contrast, and sharp details. The primary camera slightly outperforms the ultra-wide in terms of detail. While the Pixel 9 maintains high image quality across various lighting conditions, low-light photography lacks vibrancy., Portrait shots are somewhat underwhelming. The Pixel 9 occasionally struggles with accurate edge detection, especially in artificial lighting. Additionally, the phone only allows portrait shots at 1.5x or 2x zoom. For selfies, the Pixel 9 retains the 10.5MP front camera from the Pixel 8, now with Auto Focus functionality. It takes impressive pictures in well-lit conditions but struggles in low light, with images lacking detail., The Pixel 9 shows significant improvement in both performance and thermal management compared to its predecessor. Powered by the Tensor G4 chip, the Pixel 9 performs well in everyday use. The smartphone handles tasks smoothly, including AI processing workloads, and shows no signs of stuttering during regular use.
