I reluctantly picked up a Pixel 9 Pro and agree that some of the specs aren't worth bragging about. While everyone brags about the camera, I don't see much difference between it and my wife's iPhone 16...except that hers has a 24MP setting and mine only has 12 and 50. It also isn't the most important spec for me...hardware and performance is...not for gaming...but productivity and future-proofing. I won't say what phone I had before...it was OLD but still performed surprisingly well...but Verizon had a great offer. Admittedly, I was on the fence (and being pressured by my wife and her family) to switch to Apple...and, on paper, they have the best hardware. iOS just isn't for me. Really, the only other option was the Samsung S24+...but I prefer vanilla Android (which may use less resources). While the Tensor benchmarks well below Apple, Samsung, and One Plus, it does come with 16GB RAM which was nice. I do wish it also came with UFS 4 storage though. Aside from spec complaints...though daily use is nice and smooth...my main complaint seems to be an Android one rather than Pixel. Google needs to improve Wi-fi roaming aggressiveness in mesh Wi-fi systems. My old Android phone and new 9Pro refuse to switch AP/nodes...so I lose high strength connection...I have to manually toggle Wi-fi off and back on to restore the best connection. iPhone does it seamlessly. I read the same complaints with Samsung so I think it is an Android shortfall. Aside from that...my Pixel 9Pro is great...just not perfect...and it could be without much increased cost.
