The Google Pixel 9, the smaller and more affordable sibling to the Pixel 9 Pro, features a notable upgrade with three rear cameras, including a periscope zoom lens. The design sports flat sides reminiscent of Apple's style, signaling a departure from the curved frame of the Pixel 8. This move aligns the Pixel 9 more closely with the Pro model, hinting at a more comprehensive upgrade for the 'vanilla' Pixel line.
