I ordered and sent back a Pixel 7 because it was so large/heavy compared to what I was used to. Ended up buying a refurbed Pixel 5 (the model before Google introduced the new camera bar design) that's still kicking, been very happy.

Looks like they've gotten the Pixel 9 a bit smaller than the 7 but still the same weight. It's still larger than the Pixel 5 too.

The iPhone, to be fair, is closer to the Pixel 9 in size/weight than the Pixel 5 too.
