The new Tensor 4 chip on the Pixel 9 feels quick and seamlessly handles regular day to day tasks. It’s fast, handles browsing well, handles switching between apps well, the basics are all covered and is a much better experience than the outgoing Pixel 8 models. The Pixel 9 comes with only 12GB RAM while the others have a solid 16GBs to boot. The additional RAM helps in some heavier tasks such as editing reels and such but the Pixel 9 gets the job done without a hitch too.
The new Gemini AI is just okay and while way better than the previous assistant, I find myself using it more for everyday tasks like setting alarms and such. You also get Gemini Live which is available for Gemini Advanced subscribers. It lets you have a free-flowing conversation with Gemini — right from your phone or Pixel Buds. So whether you’re trying to plan a fun tailgate, need help thinking through household repairs, or want help brainstorming gift ideas, Gemini Live will offer a new level of help in a more intuitive, natural way for a subscription fee of Rs. 1950 a month of course.
