- Display: 6.3‑inch Actua OLED (1080×2424, 20:9) with Smooth Display up to 120Hz. Gorilla Glass Victus 2 front delivers strong scratch resistance. The screen can reach up to 2700 nits peak brightness in HDR.

There’s up to 8x “Super Res Zoom” and advanced features like Magic Editor, Astrophotography, Portrait Light, etc. A 10.5MP front camera (dual-pixel AF, f/2.2, 95° FoV) handles selfies. In real-world use, the Pixel 9 delivers consistent shots with excellent dynamic range.
Note: Processing full 50MP RAW images can be slower, but shooting in the default 12MP mode is quick and still high-quality.
- Battery: 4,700 mAh battery (typical) for over a day of use. Fast wired charging (up to ~55% in 30 min with a 45W charger) and wireless Qi charging are supported, along with Battery Share (reverse charging). Google claims 24+ hours typical life (100+ hours in Extreme Saver mode).
- Software: Ships with Android 14 and Google’s latest UI. Major new AI features include the built-in Gemini assistant (invoked with the power button), Pixel Studio (AI text-to-image generator), Pixel Screenshots (smart cropping/markup), and Pixel Weather (AI-generated forecasts). Classic Pixel strengths like Call Screen and Call Notes are improved. Crucially, Google promises 7 years of OS/security updates for Pixel 9, unmatched in this class.
Design & Build Quality
Google has refined the Pixel look. The Pixel 9 features a silky matte glass back and polished metal sides for a premium feel. Its famous horizontal camera bar is front-and-center, housing the two large lenses and flash.
According to Google, the Pixel 9 is “twice as durable as Pixel 8” thanks to the tougher Gorilla Glass Victus 2 display. It is rated IP68 water/dust resistant.
The phone comes in four colors (Obsidian, Porcelain, Peony, and Wintergreen). In hand the Pixel 9 is compact yet solid. It supports smooth 120Hz animations and day-long battery despite its sleek profile.
Price History & Previous Deals
The BBD offer represents a record low. Pixel 9 launched at ₹79,999 in late 2024, and after initial cuts was selling around ₹64,999. Even that reflected earlier discounts.
For example, an official ₹15,000 “Special Price” coupon brings the list price down from ₹79,999 to ₹64,999 on Flipkart. The Big Billion Days deal (₹34,999 effective) goes much deeper with bank and exchange benefits.
For context, Pixel 8 Pro’s lowest BBD 2025 price was reported around ₹44,999 which is why Pixel 9’s deal is truly exceptional. This drop matches aggressive mid-year sales trends as Google’s own reports and press noted Pixel 9 never before fell below ₹64,999. Now at ₹34,999, it beats even historic Flipkart offers on older Pixel models.
Offers, Bank & Exchange Deals
Flipkart is sweetening the Pixel 9 deal with multiple discounts. Key offers include:
- Bank Discounts: 10-15% off with select bank cards. Flipkart has confirmed up to ₹2,000 off on ICICI/Axis Bank card payments for Pixel 9.
- Exchange Bonus: Up to ₹1,000 extra off when trading in an old phone. Combined with bank offers, Flipkart highlights a total additional ₹3,000 cut on Pixel 9 (₹2,000 bank + ₹1,000 exchange).
- No-cost EMIs: EMI schemes with ₹0 down payment (e.g. HDFC Bank EMI card ₹7,000 instant discount was available on Flipkart at launch).
- Bundles & Cashbacks: Flipkart’s system also lists extra cashback (5% with SBI Flipkart Card up to ₹4,000) and a “Flipkart Plus” bonus (₹15,000 instant off coupon applied). These combined offers yield the effective ₹34,999 price. Besides, you can check all the Flipkart Big Billion Days Cashback offers here!

Pixel 9 vs Competitors
At this price, how does Pixel 9 stack up against rival flagships?
- Apple iPhone 16: The 128GB iPhone 16 is slated around ₹51,999 in the BBD sale (down from ₹74,900), making it considerably more expensive. The iPhone 16 brings iOS and Apple’s camera system, but Pixel 9’s Android and AI extras offer a unique value.
- Samsung Galaxy S24 (Snapdragon): Flipkart plans to launch the SD8 Gen 3 variant of Galaxy S24 under ₹40,000. This means a Snapdragon S24 will be slightly higher in price than Pixel 9. The S24 matches Pixel 9 in performance, but Pixel’s AI features (and its superior wide-angle camera) set it apart for this segment.
- OnePlus Flagships: New OnePlus models (rumored “OnePlus 13R” and others) target the ₹35-40K range, and OnePlus builds are known for speed and display quality. Reviews note that Pixel 9 and these OnePlus phones are both strong picks around ₹35K. Pixel 9 edges out many rivals by offering Google’s exclusive software/AI (e.g. Magic Eraser, Call Screen, Gemini) plus seven years of updates. In the ₹35-40K bracket, the Pixel 9 and new OnePlus devices are considered better choices than some older midrange flagships like the Galaxy S24 FE.
In short, for ~₹35K you get a true premium Android with Pixel’s camera prowess and AI smarts. iPhones are more expensive at similar specs, and Samsung’s new S24 (Snapdragon) just dips into this territory but without Google’s unique software. Pixel 9’s strong camera (50MP main) also outclasses many competitors’ sensor setups making it a compelling buy.
