Thanks to the new Google Pixel 9 smartphone, just $799 buys you an incredibly powerful and versatile mobile device.

Android 14 runs the show and the Pixel 9 Pro Fold has one of the cleanest versions of the operating system with very minimal bloatware. It's long-lasting too with seven years of software updates and feature drops to come, meaning this phone could last until 2031.

According to Android Headlines, Android 15 could start rolling out to Pixel phones on October 15 — almost two months after the Pixel 9 went on sale. The site hasn’t revealed where it obtained this date, so we can’t comment on its legitimacy, but it does match up with what we’ve heard about Android 15 so far.
