What the reviewers said

Android Central US

4/5Jun 18, 2025

A very good, capable phone with a refreshed design and more RAM, though missing some Pro features and costing more than the Pixel 9a.

  • Comfortable new design with soft satin metal frame
  • Bright, smooth 120Hz OLED display
  • 12GB RAM and Tensor G4 handle multitasking well
  • Strong cameras with useful AI features
  • Fast ultrasonic fingerprint sensor
  • Still lacks several features reserved for Pro models
  • $300 more expensive than the Pixel 9a
  • Only two rear cameras, no telephoto
  • Slow charging speeds
  • Low PWM dimming rate may bother sensitive users

Verdicts, pros and cons are short summaries in our words of each publisher's review; scores are as the publisher gave them. Specs are taken from the reviews' spec boxes — where they differ, we show the value most of them give; price is the US launch price of the base model. Read the originals for the full picture.
