5. Admired the super-clear screen

The new Pixel 9 Actua Display is super bright and makes photos look incredible. I usually opt for food photos as my wallpaper, but right now I’ve got a photo of my dog from when we recently went camping. The screen is so crisp and clear I thought his leash was a scratch on the glass (and I was thrilled to be wrong — phew!).

6. Relied on my phone for an outdoor adventure

Until I started using Pixel’s Battery Saver (and Extreme Battery Saver), I used to always put my phone on airplane mode when I went on a longer than average hike. And now Pixel 9’s battery life is even better. During a recent 14-hour hike, I was able to use Extreme Battery Saver when I really needed to conserve battery.

7. Went bag-free and kept it in my pocket

It might not surprise you to know I have a few phones lying around. The Pixel 9 is easily among the lightest-weight of them. Even though it has such a high-quality glass and metal finish, it doesn’t feel heavy and slips comfortably into my pocket. I don’t like to take a bag with me when I walk my dogs, so a phone that I can easily fit in my pocket or even just carry in my hand is a must.

9. Brainstormed a renovation (and killed time) with Pixel Studio

When you open Pixel Studio, you’ll see some ideas of how to use it, including a prompt to create concepts for desk setups. This inspired me to try the freestyle mode (where you can type in prompts and Pixel Studio will generate images for you) to get some ideas for the bedroom renovation I’m plotting. I was able to browse incredible mock-ups, save images I liked to a collection and add more text to see what else Pixel Studio came up with. It’s a great inspiration tool.
