There’s a lot of things to love about the Google Pixel 9, but the fact the price went up by $100 for the second year in a row is not one of them. Fortunately a little patience goes a long way, and if you’ve held off on upgrading to Pixel 9 so far you now have the option to save $251 on the retail price.

That’s still a lot of money, but these are maxed out versions of Google’s most powerful phones. The latest iPhone 16 Pro models with a full 1TB of storage cost between $1,500 and $1,600. These Pixel handsets are also unlocked, so feel free to bring it to any carrier out there.

Google has been circling around dropping the Pixel 9 price with surprise vouchers and enhanced trade-in prices in recent weeks. But the company has finally, officially, slashed the price of its flagship phone in an early Black Friday sale.
