Google Pixel 9 Series (9/9 Pro/9 Pro XL/9 Pro Fold & Pixel Watch 3)

Looks like Google are in a bit of trouble with 9 pro marketing and reviews.
T&C's for review units for influencers mandating they cannot say a Pixel is inferior to any competition and MUST prefer the 9 pro or risk losing their status to receive review units.
Lots of YouTubers coming out saying they quit team pixel blah blah blah

Google threatened tech influencers unless they ‘preferred’ the Pixel
It’s since backpedaled.

Yep but the influencers will and it's really not a good look, we know this stuff goes on but to push it into the T&C's isn't a good look

The sooner "influencers" disappear the better.
Hundred percent agree

Unfortunately it's just the evolution of advertising, and as it eventually goes away it'll probably evolve into something more annoying the older we get.

Whilst I appreciate the regular updates from O2, I am starting to wonder if they are doing some practical joke...

Hot pink standard 9 ordered, kid needs a phone for secondary school, so will pass on the pixel 8 to her.
apparently i am getting £200 for an old pixel 3a - reviews for the trade in company are shocking, so i will be making a detailed recording of the phone before sending.

oh yeah, i think it adds £150 extra for the standard and £200 for the Pro models. but it is a faff, i would have proffered if it was just a flat £100 - £150 off or some bundled items, like a 35w charger, case or something else.
Mobiles.co.uk actually have some decent deals:
Pixel 9 256GB, 500GB data (ID Mobile), £748.76 (less £150 enhanced trade in, so £598.76).
Pixel 9 Pro 256GB, 300GB data (Vodafone), £934 (£734 after enhanced trade-in). Slightly cheaper on ID Mobile.
Pixel 9 Pro XL is £70 more than the regular Pro.
Pixel 9 Pro Fold 512GB, 500GB data (ID Mobile), £1,488.76 (£1,188.76 after enhanced trade-in). Free Pixel Watch 2.
My "man maths" is now telling me the Pixel 9 Pro Fold is a decent deal here. £1,188.76, less £100 from selling the watch, less ~£650 from selling my Honor Magic V2 leaves £438.76. 24 months of airtime would cost me roughly £240. So it's a £200 upgrade...? Save me from myself!

Still very happy with my pixel 6. Maybe upgrade next year to a second hand pixel pro 9

Not sure if my man maths is right here...
I had a look on my company perks page thing and noticed this.
24 month plan for the Pixel 9 Pro fold with 25GB per month (more than enough for me) + that discount code thing comes in at a crazy £73.23 per month.
But then EE have this promotional offer running and my P7Pro is in the list of eligible devices.
Which makes that £73.23, £47.23 per month
£47.23 * 24 + £30 upfront = £1163 for the phone and data for 2 years?

This is what I posted above. Expensive, yes, but seems incredible value compared to what else is out there.

Ordered my pixel 9 pro on the announcement, I'll be trading in my 8 pro.
Man of Honour
I think if the fold had better or the same cameras as my 8 pro I'd give it a go. But I'll wait for the 10 to come out as for me the camera is one of the most important features.

Very similar to the offer I've just taken with O2. Only difference being that they give you the trade in value back as credit against monthly payments, whereas you get £26/month.
