When I power up a Google Pixel 7 Pro in 2025, it feels like a different company made the phone. Google used to frustrate me, seemingly ignoring legitimate user complaints year after year with its smartphones. Pixels were plagued with the same issues every year, and it was difficult to recommend a Google smartphone.

The latest phone from Google now has a release date of April 10, which gives you time to compare the specs of the Pixel 9A with those of the 9, 9 Pro and 9 Pro XL. And though the new Pixel 9A is absolutely a less-expensive offering,

Google has found more performance for the Pixel 10 Pro as it updates the next version of Android for release later this year.
