Been comparing the Pixel 9/10/11 and the gap is smaller than the marketing makes it sound, so curious what others think.
The way I read it: same 6.3in body all three years. The 9 actually has the biggest main sensor but no zoom lens. The 10 added a 5x zoom and the magnetic Qi2 charging but shrank the main camera. The 11 keeps the zoom, brings a bigger main sensor back, and bumps wireless to 25W. None of the base three get a vapor chamber, so they all throttle in long games.
My take: on a 10 I wouldn’t bother; on a 9 the zoom + magnets + faster wireless are the things you’d feel daily.
For the Pixel 9 and 10 owners here — has the camera or charging actually pushed anyone to upgrade, or is it a “wait for the 12” year?
Wasn’t even aware that the 11 was released until this post. So no, enjoying my 10 pro w/ graphene.
Pixel 9 Pro XL here.
Nope, not worth it.
Did a side by side comparison with the P11 when it was released and they’re fundamentally the same phone.
Thought to myself, Why pay $1k+ for the same thing for no reason.
I’m on a Pixel 6a and nothing has appeared that I need yet.
I for a 9 Pro XL because it was the last pixel made with a sim card tray and supports GrapheneOS.
The Pixel 10 supports gOS and the 10a, which was released the cycle after, does too.
But it doesn’t have a sim card tray.
I’m on a 10a - it has a sim card tray. I use it.
Did you get yours in the USA?
I plan to use my current gen until it fails. There’s such a marginal difference in these upgrades
+1 The only reason I upgraded to my pixel 9 is it was basically free and I only had to pay taxes.

Yeah that’s always how it goes.
Like you, I’ll use my 8 pro until it gets too old to do the things I want it to. Screw updating ever year or two, what a waste if money.
I’m on a Pixel 8, and the only reason I even got one that new is that it’s the oldest still recommended by GrapheneOS.
I’ve heard that the 11 didn’t change much from the 10, and degraded on some key points (security, which is why grapheneos is incompatible), so the 10 is often the recommendation
I have the 9 Pro. I cannot imagine anything 10 or 11 could bring to the table that would entice me.
Same, I don’t think I’ll need to upgrade until it becomes unusable on a daily basis.
I’m on Pixel 8 “amateur” and even then it isn’t worth it for me.
It’s the first Pixel incompatible with GrapheneOS, so not worth it for me.
Damn I assumed it was supports cuz pixel. Looks like it will be a 10 for me next.
The only two upgrades I want from my 7 Pro is the smaller size and support for desktop mode.
I don’t like smartphones and only have one as I needed to get it for a previous job. That being said I love wireless charging mainly because the easiest thing to break is a plug in charging cord. mag cords bring that to near zero but wireless charging brings it to actually zero.
I got a 7 second hand (only way I buy electronics now) and loaded GrapheneOS on it and I’m happy. Can’t think of anything I’d want to do that this one doesn’t
I’m still using my pixel 9 pro with no plans of upgrading. It’s still perfectly fine and the new ones don’t look worth the upgrade
Plus, the 9 pro starts with more RAM than the 11 pro. Go figure.
Fuck no
