Is the Pixel 9 worth buying?

We've got a fair bit of phone testing ahead before we can give a definitive answer. And at the end of the day, it really depends on your budget and whether you want to take advantage of any of the offers.

But from our first impressions, it seems like it'll be a hit with folks who love top-notch cameras and appreciate the revamped iconic sculpted camera bar, and a range of AI-powered features.

Perhaps you really want a foldable that's not super bulky? Google's definitely trying to deliver on this by keeping it as thin as possible and bringing the Pixel 9 Pro Fold to Australia.
