Google announced its fall lineup of Pixel phones today: three standard phones and a second tablet-esque folding model. There are new chips, new cameras, Satellite SOS, and some notable promises, like the 9 phones being “twice as durable” as their Pixel 8 equivalents and getting seven years of updates. But as you might expect this year, they’re primarily showcases for all the things Google’s Gemini AI promises to do for you.
I think I would have been more enticed to buy if the first thing I didn’t see was “AI”. I’m done with the AI hype. It’s okay. It’s nothing groundbreaking. Meh.
Also the price is way too high where I’m at. I’ll stick with the 6 pro for the next iteration. Or the next after that.
