Google's Pixel 10 series is one of our favorite phones, especially for Android users, but the Pixel 9 series is still an excellent option to consider if you're looking to upgrade. Several models are going for less, and you can save as much as $300 in direct discounts, plus up to $900 by trading in an older device. Just keep in mind that stock is running out for the Pixel 9 series. So if a color or model is sold out, it's probably not coming back.
The Pixel 9 is a generation old but it's still more than enough for the average person with high performance in terms of battery, camera and more. Several models of the Pixel 9 series originally made our list of the best phones of the year, and although the 10 series has largely replaced them, the 9A is still our pick for the best Android phone value.
With retailers and carriers largely pushing the Pixel 10, current discounts on the remaining Pixel 9 make this phone an even sweeter upgrade. Whether you have a device to trade in or prefer a direct discount, there are plenty of ways you can avoid paying full price for a Google Pixel 9 series phone. So if you see a deal you like, grab it -- because if it sells out, it's not coming back.
To help you make the most of these offers, Adrian Marlow and other CNET deals experts have scoured the web to bring you the best offers on Pixel 9 devices. There are currently a couple of solid discounts available on unlocked models, or you can achieve more substantial savings with an eligible trade-in or a new line at a carrier.
We'll continue to update this page as offers come and go, so check back often.
