The Google Pixel 9 is, by and large, a pretty good phone. It’s got a solid selection of hardware and software upgrades, albeit with a price tag that’s higher than most people would prefer. The phone has also enjoyed a slight redesign, complete with a brand new camera bump and flatter edges.
While the camera bump is an evolution of the camera bars from Pixels of years gone by, the flattening of the edges makes the new flagship look an awful lot like an iPhone. Some colors, like Obsidian, even look similar to the titanium frame on the iPhone 15 Pro — despite being made of the much weaker and less premium aluminum.
