The Pixel 9 phones are big cameras and screens soldered onto Gemini AI ambitions
"Pro" no longer means "large," and the Fold is the biggest screen ever.

Google announced its fall lineup of Pixel phones today: three standard phones and a second tablet-esque folding model. There are new chips, new cameras, Satellite SOS, and some notable promises, like the 9 phones being "twice as durable" as their Pixel 8 equivalents and getting seven years of updates. But as you might expect this year, they're primarily showcases for all the things Google's Gemini AI promises to do for you.
I consider AI an device Aliment not a benefactor.
I want dumb phone, dumb computer, dumb car, and a dumb fridge. If i want AI i will go buy a Nvidia accelerator card
I think I would have been more enticed to buy if the first thing I didn't see was "AI". I'm done with the AI hype. It's okay. It's nothing groundbreaking. Meh.
Also the price is way too high where I'm at. I'll stick with the 6 pro for the next iteration. Or the next after that.
I can only conceptualize "pro" meaning "large" in the "large, and in charge" sense.
