I never thought I’d carry a pink phone, but the Pixel 9 Pro changed my mind
If Pink Panther and badass pink flamingos can embrace the color, so can I.

I don’t like black phones. That has always been and will always be my personal hill to die on. So, if you see me with a black phone in my hands, you should know I had no other choice.
That’s why the early Android days were very disappointing to me. I was coming from the world of colorful Nokia Lumias and I found nothing but drab grey and black Android phones. After my dark grey HTC Desire Z, I went for a white Samsung Galaxy S3, then a white LG G3, a nice reprieve from the darkness of the tech world. And over the years, I slowly started embracing the awesome new colors that were coming to Android phones. But there’s one color where I unconsciously drew the line: pink.
