A recent post on Reddit has sparked an amusing conversation comparing the latest Google Pixel9 smartphone to Bender, the iconic robot from the animated series "Futurama." The image shared in the post cleverly juxtaposes Bender on one side and the back of the Pixel9 on the other, highlighting an unexpected yet humorous resemblance between the two.

Bender, known for his shiny metallic surface and large rectangular head with a visor-like face and square-shaped yellow eyes, is seen in the image holding a brown bottle against a futuristic backdrop. On the other side, the Google Pixel9 sports a bright blue color with a distinctive camera module that has multiple lenses in a black rectangular frame, a design that Redditors quickly related to Bender's face.

The comments section of the Reddit post is filled with witty remarks and observations. One user humorously declared, "Google can just bite my shiny metal a**!" referencing Bender's famous catchphrase. Another user noted, "If Google makes the body out of 40% Zinc, 40% Titanium, and 40% Dolomite, then I’ll buy one," adding to the playful banter.

Some users expressed their displeasure with the smartphone's camera design, pointing out its bulkiness. "Seriously though. Why does Pixel insist on the protruding camera with a sharp 90° bezel?" one comment read. Others were more entertained by the comparison, with one user saying, "It looks like Bender giving you a kiss," while another simply stated, "Bender is the G."

The conversation even touched on potential customizations, with one user suggesting, "Just need to put a skin for the back, or a phone case." Another user humorously envisioned, "I'm gonna make my own smartphone! With blackjack and h*****s!"

This Reddit post highlights the playful side of tech enthusiasts who find joy in drawing parallels between beloved pop culture characters and modern gadgets. Whether or not Google intended for the Pixel9 to resemble Bender, the comparison has certainly brought a smile to many faces and sparked a lively discussion online.
