Good trade in for my 7 Pro.
Shame almost all the updates are software related, guess we've pretty much hit peak smartphone now and software locked to the 'new device' is the new incentive

Well I'm glad I bought the 8 pro as I will be sticking with that

Yeah I am not in a mad rush to switch, but frustrating they seem to be locking software features to the pixel 9.
Seeing as it came out 10 months ago

Don't they always do that and then release it to all pixels at a later date ?
They will release for the 8 pro, they always do.
Funny how half of their demos were on an s24 ultra , it's faster and better spec and you can get it for less .
I was looking at the phone on the Google store , every year I have pre-ordered without hesitation. Nothing really warrants a change,not really a bad thing tbh

I am tempted, but will likely wait for some reviews, I was expecting a better bundle deal from the off, which would have been a nice sweetener

The only one I'm tempted by is the Fold as with the trade in it's about £1200 and I've wanted to try a Fold for a while now.
Shame the cameras aren't as good as the other models though.

Ha! My one year old Pixel Fold trade in is £581 with a £300 bonus. So a £1,749 device a year later, according to Google or its trade in partner is now only worth £281 (excluding the bonus). So an 84% one year depreciation value!
I'm on the fence, I like a lot of the improvements (thinner, brighter screen, aspect ratio that more apps support) but I'll wait it out I think. I would be interested in knowing the weight reduction, the OG Fold is a heavy beast.

Didn't catch all the watch 3 presentation. Any mention of Pixel 9 watch 3 bundle?

257g vs the originals 283g

Just remember Gemini is free for a year, after that you have to start paying £20 a month... A lot of the useful stuff you could already do with the Google assistant which they are silently trying to get rid of and force you to a paid tier.
Also Gemini still has a lot of issues , not something I would pay for when you have Claude and Gpt4 free and paid tiers.

good trade in's if you have an old phone knocking around £250 for a pixel 2 xl
was hoping for something better free with the bundle though
Yes good value for my Pixel 5 too
Isn't that for Gemini advanced (or whatever it's called?)
For what reason? You don't need new things every year

I really do hate this subscription world we live in now. I look at the amount of direct debits coming out each month and it's madness.
I remember back in my 20's outside of my household utilities I only had my mobile phone. Now it's a list as long as my arm. Yep interested in Gemini but yeah no chance I am paying £20 a month for that, they are gonna miss a trick with that one, as a lot of people are still on the fence with the whole AI stuff anyway
