One of the main differences between the duo is the chipset. The predecessor Google Pixel 9 packs Google's Tensor G4 chipset, while the Pixel 10 is powered by the latest Tensor G5 chip, which should offer better performance.
The Pixel 9 and the Pixel 10, both the devices feature a 6.3-inch display. However, the main difference is in its brightness. The Pixel 9 has 2700 nits of peak brightness, on the hand, the Pixel 10 gets a 3000 nits of peak brightness display.
Camera is the another department where the difference is loudly evident! The Pixel 9 has a dual camera setup headlined by a 50MP wide and a 48MP ultra wide camera. On the other hand, the Pixel 10 features triple camera setup -- 10.8MP telephoto camera with 5x optical zoom along with a 48MP wide camera, and a 13MP ultra-wide camera on the back. The Google Pixel 9 as well as the Pixel 10 features a 10.5MP front-facing camera.
The Pixel 9 packs a 4700mAh battery while the Google Pixel 10 gets a 4,970mAh. However, both promises to offer 24+ hours of battery life. Talking about the charging, the Pixel 9 gets fast wireless charging support, on the other hand, the Pixel 10 gets a Pixelsnap wireless charging up to 15W.
The Google Pixel 9 was launched with Android 14 out-of-the-box, however, the Pixel 10 runs on Android 16. Both the models comes with 7 years of software updates.
The Pixel 10 is available in four colour shades -- Indigo, Frost, Lemongrass, and Obsidian shades. While the Pixel 9 comes in Obsidian, Porcelain, Wintergreen, and Peony colours.
While the launch price of the Pixel 9 and the Pixel 10 is exactly same, Rs 79,999. However, after a year, the Pixel 9 is available at just Rs 64,999 on Flipkart.
If you are concerned about the budget, then go with the Pixel 9 without a doubt. However, if you are focused on the photography, especially telephoto, then the Pixel 10 seems to offer a better choice, along with a more powerful Tensor G5 chip.
