What Google Pixel Are You Currently Using Daily? [Poll]

As we do annually, we’re curious to know which Google Pixel phone you use as your primary device – and 2025 is no exception.

Understanding the default devices of the 9to5Google readership is always helpful as it guides us in the right direction and ensures we know just what you love to read, view, or consume. While our focus is largely on Google’s products, the strength of the Android ecosystem is that you can get a diverse range of phones with varying designs, specifications, and price points to suit what you want or need. It’s no secret that the smartphone market is fiercely competitive, yet Google appears to be steadily increasing its presence each year – even if it’s still a blip on global sales figures.

Observing the current landscape, it’s probable you’ll encounter more Google Pixel phones now than ever before. This isn’t just anecdotal; various reports indicate that the brand is expanding its market share in several key areas, including Japan, the UK, and the US. While these percentages may not be massive, any growth in such a challenging market is significant.

The Pixel 9 helped Google to the company’s “highest-ever” quarterly sales. That’s after a slow start to the previous year with basically no growth at all post-Pixel 8 release. Even a 3% market share in the US is still a lot of people, mind you, and you can count many of our team in that figure.

Maybe we over-egg it a little given the lack of presence in all regions, but Google making smartphones is still important in the context of the wider market. Market penetration is super tough when there are more established players willing to cede ground to ensure they control specific price and performance segments. To compound that since its inception in 2016, Google has released 29 Pixel smartphones. Technically, there have been 30 Pixel devices, but the Pixel Tablet isn’t included in our poll.

Our rationale is that it’s unlikely to be your primary mobile device, functioning more as a supplementary screen for Netflix, YouTube, or even as a Nest Hub replacement. We also really don’t expect many pre-Pixel 5 owners to step up here, but it wouldn’t be fair to ignore those handsets. With that in mind, our poll options are:
