has redesigned its smartphone lineup with an eye-catching (and perhaps pocket-catching) camera bar. The camera array in the Pixel 9 includes a new 48MP ultrawide sensor for Macro Focus closeups.

The company has given the entry-level device a welcome memory increase to 12GB and included the latest Tensor G4 chipset. The 6.3 Actua display, meanwhile, is 35 percent brighter than the one on the Pixel 8. The Pixel 9 has Gorilla Glass Victus 2 on the front and rear along with a 100 percent recycled aluminum enclosure.

As things stand, the Pixel 9’s closest flagship Android rival is the Samsung Galaxy S24 given that they’re effectively the same price and share a lot of similarities. The S24 has a triple rear camera array compared with the Pixel’s dual-lens setup. However, the Pixel 9 has a marginally larger screen and it will be the first of the pair to get Android 15 — Galaxy S24 users will have to wait a little longer to gain access to the new operating system’s features.

To illustrate other similarities and differences, here’s a spec comparison of the Pixel 9 and Galaxy S24:
