Refurbished: Google Pixel 9 Pro (2024) - 256GB, Unlocked All Carriers - Obsidian (GA05945-US) - Refurbished

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Google pixel 9 pro is a great phone ! I switched from another android phone and it was easy to transfer all my data . The battery has been good , I charge it each night and the phone lasts until around 7pm.. very good in my opinion !

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is a great phone! I love the set up and the way it operates. The battery is very long lasting, about 3 days with no streaming on a full charge. Great value for the money.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The performance on this phone is great. It was super easy to activate! The battery lasts better than the last! The camera is pretty good. This phone is basic which is perfect for those who struggle with technology. Husband loves it.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This phone is great! It is nice and slim the case i pit on it makes it thicker. And protects the fabulous camera it comes with when not taking pictures. Fits in my hand great. The battery life is also phenomenal as I do a lot of video chatting and watching tutorials. I'm an android person so this is great. My issue and the reason I gave 4 stars is that the 3 button bottom controls I cannot change the order of. I like the far right button to be my back button. I am most certainly most used to it being there and have in the past been able to rearrange these buttons but was unable to do that on this phone. Everythinfg else about this phone is great!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The pixel 9 pro is a good phone. Very fast processor. Battery last a long time. The camera is great. Takes very beautiful pictures. I’ll definitely recommend this phone.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Good camera and great phone overall! I like the curved edges and how I can easily navigate through my various opened apps running in my background. I do wish this phone was a little bigger since I'm accustomed to having big phones.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] With Google's robust marketing campaign across social media and television for the Pixel 9 Pro, I've been surrounded by the hype! As someone who has always been loyal to Samsung flagship devices, I couldn't help but feel tempted by the enticing promises offered by Google. I was excited to spend some time with the Pixel 9 Pro and see whether I would stick with Samsung or venture into a new path. The phone's satisfying weight feels just right in my hand, and its dimensions are nicely balanced—not too bulky. However, I did notice that it can slip out of my grip quite easily without a case. Having had the device "get away from me" a few times, I can confidently say it holds up well to wear and tear. The Google Pixel 9 Pro feels fresh and unique compared to most phones released this year. Upon its arrival, I was immediately taken by its sleek design, exceptional cameras, and remarkable new AI features. It has shown to be a formidable rival to my Samsung Galaxy S22. Camera: Images look great in all kinds of lighting, and the AI enhancements, such as Pixel Studio, add to the overall experience. However, images are not quite as vivid as with my Samsung. The video quality is excellent. Battery life: Top tier, even with heavy content creation use, I could get through most of the day without charging. Charging time is zippy. Design: The Google Pixel 9 Pro is a testament to its sleek, premium design. Its 'Hazel' color, a sophisticated green-greige, adds a modern touch to its appearance. Holding it, I couldn't help but be impressed. The lens bar at the back of the device enhances its aesthetics. Interface: Less bloated than Samsung. Software: The Android experience is relatively smooth, offering the latest features and rapid updates due to Google's direct access to the operating system. However, as a long-time Android user of Samsung devices, I noticed that many of the features on the Pixel 9 Pro were already available to me. Additionally, several Google products with the Pixel 9 Pro are not new to other Android users who regularly install updates. The Pixel 9 features a new AI assistant called Gemini, which promises to offer advanced assistance. One notable component is "Gemini Live," a mobile conversational experience that allows users to engage in fluid conversations with Gemini. However, this feature is only available to Gemini Advanced subscribers. Personally, I have no interest in casually chatting with AI chatbots, so Gemini does not appeal to me as a selling point. Speaker volume: It has good depth, nice bass, and is less tinny than my Samsung. However, the maximum volume could be higher. Overall, the Pixel 9 Pro is a strong option if you're in the market for a new phone that meets all your needs in terms of design and technology. However, it doesn't stand out enough for me to consider switching from my Samsung Galaxy devices, which offer comparable features and quality.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Okay, seriously, this Pixel 9 Pro is the bomb. To be clear, my last pixel was the OG pixel, prior to that the nexus 6p. After that i have owned oneplus 6T, 7T pro mclaren and most recently 9 pro. They have been fantastic phones and overall i cannot complain, however one thing i find lacking with the 1+ has always been the camera. With the pixel, I was blown away by the camera the second I unboxed it. The pictures are just stunning! Like, seriously, the detail is insane, and it takes incredible photos even in the dark. I have included multiple examples of this. I am not much into video so i cannot comment on this vs say the iphone. The phone itself is super snappy and responsive. I haven't experienced any lag at all, which is a huge plus. I was worried about the tensor especially coming from my snapdragon. No drop off at all. I will say, i do feel that candybar phones have plateaued in that if you have a recent flagship, it probably has capable hardware to last another 5 years without feeling outdated. I do not feel an insane increase in smoothness with the pixel compared to mye 1+ but that is because the plus was also spec’d out even 3 years ago. The biggest difference with the pixel is the battery life which was a total game-changer. I can easily make it through a full day of heavy use without even thinking about charging. I usually have about 50% due to how efficient the pixel software is with “pure android”. And let's talk about the display. It's absolutely gorgeous. Super bright, vibrant colors, and it's just a joy to look at. I love how it feels in my hand too – it's big enough for a great viewing experience, but still comfortable to hold and use one-handed. This was a big departure from my usual inclination towards XL versions. The software is really clean and intuitive. I'm a big Google Assistant fan, and it's seamlessly integrated into the phone. My entire house is set up with android tv, lights, garage and it is extremely nice to be able to have my phone at the center of all that in conjunction with the google home speakers. Overall, I'm seriously impressed with this phone. It's definitely one of the best I've ever used and i feel privileged to have been able to daily it for 2 months now" Caveats: i do not game on my phone and as such i cannot tell you how the tensor chip performs compared to SD. I also think even though the phone performs well, i am not sure how “future proof” it is because the specs are a bit underwhelming. Basically, it works well now, but unlike my 1+ that still seems to be going on strong other than battery, im not sure if this phone is hardware proof for the next 5 years especially for the price.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This phone is awesome has a great camera. The battery life is amazing. I didn’t have any problems with connectivity. Super user friendly. The color is super cute!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love the speed of this phone! Apps open and run smoothly and are easy to close. I love to take photos, which is why I chose this product, to see if it was a good camera. I have to say, it is a very nice camera with lots of different settings that can make a bland photo beautiful!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Google Pixel 9 Pro is a pretty nice smartphone. One of the things I immediately loved about it is that there’s no bloatware installed—it’s a clean and efficient experience right out of the box. A And the transfer process was fast and activating the phone was the easiest I’ve ever experienced. It only took a few clicks, and I didn’t even have to enter SIM numbers. For photos, the Pixel 9 Pro is a bit of a mixed bag. The photo quality is good, but compared to my previous Android, the normal photos didn’t quite measure up. That said, the photo editing features are phenomenal—definitely a step above what other Android phones offer. One downside for me is the base storage. The 128GB model just doesn’t cut it for my needs. In my opinion, 256GB should really be the minimum standard these days, especially for a flagship phone like this. On the positive side, the UI is very customizable, which was a pleasant surprise. I had a lot of fun using the AI tools to create my own background and tweaking the color scheme to my liking. That kind of personalization adds a nice touch. However, I don’t understand why the Google search widget at the bottom of the home screen is immovable. It’s frustrating, and I wish they’d allow more flexibility there. The display is fantastic—vibrant and smooth—and the charging capabilities are top-notch. The phone charges incredibly fast and the battery lasts seemingly forever. That’s a major win for anyone who’s always on the go. I think there may be a big as when I read a text and replied, the text thread remains bold and unread for about 2 seconds. I updated the software and rebooted and this still happens. A minor annoyance but not a huge deal. I also love that the phone has crash detection and satellite SOS enabled. These safety features really need to become standard on all smartphones and I'm so glad the Google Pixel 9 series phones have these features. Overall, I do like the phone. While there are a few quirks and areas for improvement, it’s still an impressive device for anyone looking for a flagship experience.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Received free for my honest opinion. I’m more familiar with apple phones so I’m still trying to get use to it but so far I like it. My daughter loves it. Good battery life so far.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I was very excited about the Google Pixel 9 Pro😊 Everything about it feels well-designed. But let me just be upfront this phone isn’t super light, so if you prefer really lightweight phones, you might notice it right away. For me it wasn’t a dealbreaker, but it’s something to keep in mind. The design is absolutely gorgeous. It’s got a sleek aluminum frame and a frosted glass back that feels smooth and expensive. The camera, though, is pretty big, so if you’re not used to having a larger camera module on the back, it might take a little getting used to. At first, I kept noticing it when I held the phone, but now I don’t even think about it. The screen is great!! It’s bright, colorful, and super sharp. The phone is also really sensitive to the touch, which I absolutely love. Performance-wise, it’s fast. It handles everything I throw at it, from switching between apps to watching YouTube and even gaming a little. I’m not a tech expert, but I’ve had no issues with speed or lag it just works smoothly. Setting it up was also ridiculously easy. I connected it to my Google account, and all my apps, contacts, and even my photos backed up and loaded onto the phone almost instantly. The cameras are amazing! The main camera is 50 megapixels, and it takes the clearest, sharpest photos I’ve seen on any phone. There’s also an ultrawide lens for group shots or landscapes and a telephoto lens that lets you zoom in without losing quality. The camera setup is big, like I mentioned earlier, but it’s totally worth it for the photo quality. The battery life is solid. It gets through a full day easily. Charging is pretty quick, though not the fastest compared to other brands. Still I never feel like I’m stuck waiting for it to charge. Durability is pretty decent, too. The glass back feels premium, but it might be prone to cracks if dropped, so I’d definitely recommend getting a case. It’s not super light, the camera bump might take some getting used to, and the glass back means you’ll probably want a case but everything else makes up for it. This phone is fast, the cameras are stunning, the setup is ridiculously easy, and it’s packed with features that actually feel useful. I am happy with this upgrade!😊

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love this phone. It has amazing security features and the phone is made to make life easier. I've always been a Samsung girl but Google may have me if they continue to make amazing phones. The pictures are of amazing quality, love the AI photo generator. Honestly I could go on and on. I've already dropped it but it proved to be pretty durable. Good battery life but one thing I didn't like is the 2 sided C charger it comes with which has led me to keep using my other charger.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I’m an Apple user through and through, but the Google Pixel 9 Pro really has me thinking to switching teams. The battery life is much longer, the camera is better, the phone also feels much more durable than the iPhone. I’m trying to get used to the functionality, which has been a bit tough. But overall this is a solid device!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This review is coming from someone that has been using a pixel phone for the past 15 years. Also, I was using a pixel 8 before I made this update to the pixel 9 Pro. Software wise. It's pretty seamless. Moving all of my apps and data and files from my pixel 8 to this pixel 9 Pro was incredibly easy. Everything is really well integrated and while it did take some time because I have a lot of photos and videos, it did in one go without any issues. Everything is so smooth on the pixel 9 Pro. It runs so fast. The screen looks absolutely amazing, and my favorite feature is of course the camera on the pro. It's absolutely stunning and the videos only get better and better with every iteration of the pixel. I can't wait to try this out to its full capacity. Battery life is amazing as usual, but not surprising for my new phone. No issues yet after 3 days of trial.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The camera is a standout—it handles low-light shots exceptionally well, and colors look natural without being over-processed. Google’s AI features, like magic eraser and photo unblur, make quick edits super easy and genuinely useful. The display is sharp and smooth, with a high refresh rate that makes streaming and scrolling feel responsive. Battery life holds up well, generally lasting through the day, and charging is quick enough to keep up if needed. Overall, it’s a powerful phone with impressive features, especially if you’re into photography and already use Google’s ecosystem.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is an excellent phone. The picture quality is amazing. The phone is little heavier than expected but amazing. Love the way my pictures are.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Per usual the Pixel Pro did not disappoint! Camera quality is top tier, it charges quickly and the battery life lasts at least a day and a half honestly. The design of the phone is sleek and slender which gives it a modern day feel and it’s extremely lightweight and easy to hold. The value for this phone is fair considering I-phones costs are way higher I feel you aren’t compromising on quality even with the more affordable price. It’s extremely user friendly especially for business if you use google as your main operating system. Highly Recommend! Its overall use is great and affordability really helps as well!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I’ve been using the Pixel 9 Pro for about a month, and overall, it’s been a great experience. The camera is hands down the best feature – photos are sharp, colors are vibrant, and the Magic Editor makes editing so easy. The new AI features like “Add Me” in group photos are super useful too. The screen is beautiful, bright, and easy to use outdoors, though the low PWM rate can be uncomfortable for long use in dim lighting. The battery life is okay – it lasts a full day with light to moderate use, but heavy tasks like gaming or navigation drain it pretty quickly. Performance-wise, it’s smooth for everyday apps, but the Tensor G4 isn’t as fast as Snapdragon chips in some competitors. It handles multitasking well but can lag slightly during intensive gaming sessions. I had some minor issues with the in-display fingerprint sensor, especially with a screen protector, but face unlock works reliably. The 7-year update guarantee is a big plus, and the overall software experience is clean and intuitive. If you’re into photography and AI features, the Pixel 9 Pro is worth it. Just keep in mind the battery and performance trade-offs!
