Been comparing the Pixel 9/10/11 and the gap is smaller than the marketing makes it sound, so curious what others think.
The way I read it: same 6.3in body all three years. The 9 actually has the biggest main sensor but no zoom lens. The 10 added a 5x zoom and the magnetic Qi2 charging but shrank the main camera. The 11 keeps the zoom, brings a bigger main sensor back, and bumps wireless to 25W. None of the base three get a vapor chamber, so they all throttle in long games.
My take: on a 10 I wouldn’t bother; on a 9 the zoom + magnets + faster wireless are the things you’d feel daily.
For the Pixel 9 and 10 owners here — has the camera or charging actually pushed anyone to upgrade, or is it a “wait for the 12” year?
Yeah, my 9 series, I just use a case with the magnet ring on it, works great. I can’t see a situation where the faster wireless charging would matter unless I only charged in the car or something where an hour of charging in a single go is the only time I’d be charging it.
Camera zoom - Sure, it’s be nice, but, not worth tossing a phone that works great for 99.9999% of the pictures I take and just in general works great still. It’s already got a 5x zoom, not sure how much more I could realistically want from it
I’m pretty underwhelmed with their offerings lately and probably wouldn’t even have a 9 if I wasn’t offered a great upgrade deal from my old 6.
