Google’s newly announced Pixel 9 phones have many cool features, but there’s also some unpleasant news. For the first time, the Pixel series matches the prices of iPhones. The base Pixel 9 is now $799, and the Pixel 9 Pro and Pixel 9 Pro XL start at $999 and $1099, respectively. Practically, this is a $100 increase on both models, as the Pixel 8 Pro was the size of the current XL model.
For this price, Google brought many updates across its portfolio. That includes the design, features, and, most importantly, the amount of RAM. However, the chipset is still performing worse than the similarly priced competitors. Apparently, Google’s sales pitch is all about Gemini AI. In any case, this can’t stop the questions about the prices of the new Pixels.
So, do you think these prices are too high? Would you spend such an amount of money on Google’s latest? If yes, what makes it a good deal for you? If no, what are your alternatives, and why are you choosing them?
Probably not. They're probably worth the increase. But the economy here in the US is so terrible that living necessities are way too high, making ends meet excludes such luxuries as a new phone.
Now that the prices are comparable with Samsung and iPhone, why would you even look at a Google Phone, especially with its poor chipset/modem. At best these are $549 phones. And add to the fact, that of all the colors in the world to put on your phones, they go with the 4 Horseman of the Apocalypse color scheme. Is Google trying to tell us something ????
Maybe the DOJ is going to break them into a hundred pieces.....which would be a good thing.

And I don't think it'll get better any time soon.

$549?? What about it makes it worth $549 at best compared to every other similarly priced phone?
Please tell me you were exaggerating.
