Along with access to the absurdly large vault of Android apps that you’d expect, you can also use it as a smart device hub. You can use this to control your Pixel Buds, you’re thermostat, and basically anything else you can connect to. It’s just got a lot of stuff going for it, and that’s to say nothing of how good it looks.

The Google Pixel 9 is one of the best Android phones you can get right now. This is the latest standard model in the Pixel series. You can get the 128 GB unlocked version from Amazon for $549 (originally $799) during Amazon's Prime Day sale.

Google might have a small but growing challenger in the clean Android space. The Nothing Phone (3) could be a very enticing option over the Pixel 9 Pro.
