Pixel 9는 디자인과 AI 기능이 인상적이지만 아직 업그레이드가 필요하지 않을 수도 있습니다.

the Pixel 9 is packed with more AI smarts and a better ultra-wide camera, all wrapped in a more polished design. But is it worth it? Let's dive in. I've spent a few days using the Pixel 9, and so far, it's really making me curious about where Google's AI could go in the future. I spent way too much time creating silly photos in Pixel Studio and playing around with a new feature called Add Me, which uses AR to take group photos. But using the Pixel 9 has also shown me that, despite the hype, AI isn't a reason to upgrade your phone, at least not yet. Google is on the right track with some of the Pixel 9's new features, like the ability to search for anything in your screenshots. And while it's not a reason to upgrade your phone, I do really like the way Google is thinking about AI, and I'm looking forward to a time when it truly makes our phones a lot easier to use. But that day isn't quite here just yet. The Pixel 9 shines for a lot of the same reasons.

its predecessors did. It has solid cameras, really clean software, and beautiful hardware. But Google does have a higher bar to live up to now that the Pixel 9 starts at $7.99, which is $100 more than the Pixel 8 was at launch. Here's a closer look at my thoughts so far, but don't forget to read my full review for more details. First, let's start with the obvious: the Pixel 9 has a new look. The camera bar now has a floating island-style design rather than stretching across the entire back of the phone, and the metal edges are flatter as well. This gives the Pixel 9 a more seamless shape since the edges aren't interrupted by the camera module. I love the way it looks and feels so much that I don't even want to put a case on it, especially in this new pey pink color. I'm just going to say it: it looks more like an iPhone, and in a good way. The screen is also a bit larger and brighter compared to the Pixel 8, which makes it

slightly easier to see in sunlight, although I did still find myself cranking the brightness up all the way to use it outdoors. But it's really the software that makes the Pixel 9 different from previous versions of Google's phone. These new phones have a handful of AI-powered features, such as an image generator app, a tool for changing objects in photos into something else, and a new app that lets you search for content in your screenshots, Pixel Studio. The image generator was so much fun to play around with. I went down a rabbit hole typing in whatever I could think of. Although it can't make images of people yet, which limits some of its usefulness, I can see this being useful for really any situation where you might need to come up with a custom graphic for something like maybe a party invitation. I know personally, myself, I could see it being really useful for creating characters for games like Dungeons and Dragons once it can create people, but we'll have to wait and see where it goes. In my experience, the results were pretty

accurate based on the prompt, but there were some instances where they were a little off. I tried creating an image of Pikachu, Jigglypuff, and Mew in a forest together, for example, and instead of making Mew, it made some kind of hybrid of Mew and Jigglypuff. But either way, I really enjoyed typing in the prompts and seeing what Google would make of them. Reimagine another new feature lets you select objects and photos and change them into something else entirely. In my experience, this feature works best when selecting a flat object in the background rather than something with a lot of depth. Pixel screenshots seem like one of the most practical new AI features. You can basically search for any piece of information that's stored in a screenshot, like a Wi-Fi password for your Airbnb or an order confirmation, and it will pull it up. And then there's add me, which is probably one of the wildest new features I've seen on a phone in a long time. So, we're going to try out a new feature called add me.

which basically makes it so that you can take a group photo while everyone is actually in the photo, even when no one's there to take it for you. So, here's how it works: one person takes the photo, then they hand off the phone to another person in the photo to take a second photo. The phone then combines both images to create one photo with everybody in it. It definitely works. Um, it does look a little less natural than if we were both just standing next to each other in the photo. Um, the positioning is definitely correct, but it just looks like two people that don't know that they're standing next to each other, because that's exactly what it is. Basically, those are some of Google's Pixel-specific features, but I also got to play with Gemini live on the Pixel 9, which is the more conversational version that requires a paid subscription. You can interrupt Gemini and ask follow-up questions, with the goal being to make talking to Gemini feel as natural as talking to a person. What are some good ice cream

spots nearby. There's a couple of great options for classic high-quality ice cream. Head to Van Luan on Hudson Yards. They've got tons of creative flavors, plus some vegan options. Do they have gluten-free options too? Both places have options. Oh, okay. Um, do they also have coffee at any of those ice cream places? Yeah, Van Luan has great coffee. They roast their own beans, so it's really good. Bambina Blue focuses more on the gelato, but there are some cafes nearby if you want coffee with your ice cream. Gemini Live certainly sounds more natural and can continue conversation even after I've interrupted, but its answers weren't always accurate, and at times it would cut out and stop responding. For example, when I asked about a show happening on Little Island, Gemini gave me the wrong dates, and when I used the Gemini overlay to ask questions about a restaurant's food selections, it gave me dishes that weren't on the menu. I love the idea of being able to ask Gemini questions rather than sifting through menus and documents myself, but these results make

it's a little hard for me to trust the responses right away. Like Samsung, many of Google's AI features are impressive and really fun to use, but they do feel siloed. They feel designed for individual use cases rather than making your entire phone software feel smarter as a whole. But I think that's where things are headed, so I'm interested in seeing where this goes. AI is definitely the big new thing on this year's pixel phones, but it's not the only thing worth talking about. Camera quality is also another area Google has traditionally paid a lot of attention to. The pixel 9 generally has the same camera as the pixel 8: a 50-megapixel main camera and a separate camera for taking ultra-wide shots. But the ultra-wide camera on the pixel 9 has a new 48-megapixel sensor, which is an upgrade from the pixel 8's 12-megapixel sensor. I could definitely see the difference in some photos, but in others, the ultra-wide upgrade was less noticeable. This photo of a park at

little island has much more color than the Pixel 8's image, but in this other picture of the amphitheater, I couldn't really tell the difference until I zoomed in and looked at the wooden stage area. Panoramic mode also has a new interface that makes it much easier to time and line up your shots. Otherwise, the Pixel 9's camera is more or less the same as the one on the Pixel 8. I'm still trying out the camera, but in my early tests, I'm getting photos that are colorful, that feel punchy, but are still realistic and true to life, which can be a tough balance to strike. I didn't see too much of a difference between the Pixel 9 and Pixel 8, but I did think the iPhone 15 took sharper photos than the Pixel 9 in most circumstances. The Pixel 9 also has a larger battery than the Pixel 8, and so far, I'm seeing promising results on a really busy day that involved going to a park, taking lots of photos, keeping the screen brightness

high and going out with friends at night. I still had 38% of my battery left after about 16 hours of general use. On a much less busy day that was mostly spent at home, I had 64% after roughly the same amount of time. But of course, battery life will always vary depending on how you use your phone, and we're still running CET battery tests, so be sure to check out the written review for future updates. Powering all of this is Google's new Tensor G4 processor. The new chip, combined with the new 12 gigs of RAM and the high refresh rate display, makes this phone feel fast and clean. So after using the Pixel 9 for a few days, here's what I like and don't like. I really love the new design, and I think the Pixel screenshots app will save me a lot of time. I also appreciate that Google is paying attention to improving the ultra-wide camera, even if it is a small upgrade. And you get 7 years of software updates with this phone, meaning it'll

get new features for a while to come, but I'm not convinced AI is a reason to upgrade. And when you strip away the new AI features, this phone isn't all that different from the Pixel 8. Google also has a track record of bringing software features to older Pixel phones, so we'll have to see if it continues that tradition with these new features. Now that the Pixel 9 is $100 more expensive, it's also in a different class of device. It doesn't feel like a high-end mid-range phone anymore, but now it's a premium phone. And at that price, Samsung gives you a dedicated telephoto camera in addition to the wide and ultra-wide cameras on the Galaxy S24. But overall, if you are a Pixel fan and you're upgrading from an older phone, you'll probably find a lot to like in the Pixel 9. Check out my full written review on CNET for more details. Thanks for watching, and I'll see you next time.
