The state of Pixel 9 Pro in 2026

By WildOrbit297 · DISCUSSION · About Pixel 9 Pro

With all the competition in this space, where does Pixel 9 Pro stand heading into 2026? I think it still has strong fundamentals but the lack of innovation recently is concerning. The ecosystem is mature which is both a strength and a weakness. What do you all think about its future?
