Best unlocked Pixel 9 deals
Pixel 9 series at Google Store
Google isn’t offering any straightforward discounts, but you can save up to $620 with an eligible trade-in. Plus, all Pro models come with one year of free access to Gemini Advanced, Google’s new AI assistant, which is a $239 value. New customers looking to join Google Fi Wireless will also get up to $800 back as bill credits over 24 months, which nets you the basic Pixel 9 for free.
Pixel 9 series at Best Buy
At the moment, the Pixel 9 Pro XL is the only unlocked model with a direct discount at Best Buy. At $300 off, you can pick it up for just $799. You can also trade in your old phone for up to $540 off any Pixel 9 model. You can also get $100 off if you opt for same-day activation through Verizon, though this means you won’t technically be getting an unlocked model — and this offer is not available for the discounted 9 Pro XL.
At the moment, the only Pixel 9 savings available at Target is 5% off when you make the purchase using your Target Circle Card*. Considering these phones can be pretty pricey, that could save you a decent chunk of change. Also, note that Target is not carrying the Pixel 9 Pro Fold at the moment.
