The Pixel 9 is a solid upgrade but feels pricey at Rs 79,999. If you're choosing between this and the Samsung Galaxy S24, go with the S24 for better performance, a telephoto camera, and more storage. However, the Pixel 9 stands out with innovative AI features like Magic Lists and Reimagine. If those AI tools appeal to you, it's a great pick. For budget-conscious users focused on gaming and fast charging, consider alternatives like the OnePlus 12, Xiaomi 14, or iQOO 12.

The iPhone 17 delivers a near-perfect everyday flagship experience with a great display, strong battery life, and balanced cameras. But iOS 26 issues like heating, battery drain, and call instability hold it back. It’s easy to recommend for hardware, but the software needs fixing to truly justify its price.
