Google Pixel 9 Pro

Smartphones im Test: Gute Handys gibt es für weniger als 200 Euro

KI-Kraftzwerg. Kleinerer Formfaktor und trotzdem ausdauernder, ein viel helleres Display und noch mehr KI: Das 6,3 Zoll große Pixel 9 Pro kann deutlich mehr als sein Vorgänger und zeigt im Test, dass es zu den aktuell besten kompakten Smartphones gehört. Einige Schwächen sind aber leider auch geblieben.

Google reichte es nicht, einfach nur die Pixel-Handys für 2024 zu aktualisieren. Das Unternehmen brachte nicht nur ein neues faltbares Modell auf den Markt, sondern auch das Pro-Modell in einer kleineren Version. Wir haben das Pixel 9 Pro getestet und verraten Euch, wie es in Sachen Akkulaufzeit, Leistung, Display und mehr abschneidet.

The Pixel 9 Pro offers a more compact Pro Pixel experience with only minor compromises compared to the larger XL model. It remains an impressive snapper, and its AI prowess is unmatched compared to the Android competition. However, the Tensor G4 chipset works hard to deliver the flagship experience, resulting in a phone that can get warm pretty often.

The Google Pixel 9 Pro is a more compact flagship phone that delivers clever AI features, a super bright display and the longest battery life yet from a Pixel phone. However, the performance from the Tensor G4 chip could be better, and some of the AI features are a work in progress.

The Pixel 9 Pro is here, and Pixel fans can rejoice at the premium new look and incredible feel. Google’s AI can be fun and even useful, if you don’t think too hard about it, with camera tricks that add you to photos and a live AI voice that you can converse with. Don’t make the Pixel 9 Pro think too hard, though, because the Google Tensor G4 chipset inside can barely keep up, leaving the next seven years of updates in question. But don’t worry about that for now; just have fun taking the best photos and videos, chatting to the AI, and peering into the future – the Pixel 9 Pro leaves you wondering what’s next.

The Google Pixel 9 Pro brings photographic prowess to a stylish, compact design, though its AI capabilities need work.

For the first time ever, Google is offering a Pixel Pro model in two sizes without compromise. That includes an incredible rear triple-camera system with 5x optical zoom telephoto camera, a bag of impressive new AI camera tricks, handy new Pixel-exclusive apps that rely on the power of Gemini, and a bold new design that some will love to hate. Unfortunately, a slower-than-ever Tensor processor and $100 price increase make this harder to recommend than I'd like, and a flaky new fingerprint sensor means finding the right screen protector is harder than it should be.
