The Pixel 9 Pro is no longer the latest Pixel you can get; that’s now the Pixel 10 lineup. That means you can now get Pixel 9 phones for much cheaper than ever before. Right now, the unlocked 1TB Google Pixel 9 Pro is discounted to $849 (originally $1449). That’s the lowest price it has ever been on Amazon, according to price-tracking tools. For comparison, the Pixel 10 Pro with 1TB is $1,249 (originally $1,449).
The Pixel 9 Pro is the middle-of-the-pack option, sandwiched between the cheaper Pixel 9 and the Pixel 9 Pro Fold. The Pixel 9 Pro comes with 16GB of RAM, starts with 128GB of memory storage, a maximum 120 HZ refresh rate, and the Android 14 operating system. As Lifehacker’s associate tech editor Michelle Ehrhardt explained in her review of the Pixel 9 Pro, the phone’s hardware is the best Google has made so far, but its AI features had hiccups at the beginning. However, Google improved the AI features over time; I loved my time with the Pixel 9, especially using Gemini Live and all the AI features.
The battery life can last around 18 hours and 40 minutes, according to Michelle’s review (with YouTube videos playing the entire time). The main camera has a 50MP shooter, a 48MP ultra-wide camera with a 123-degree field of view, and a 48MP telephoto camera with a 30x Super Res Zoom.
What do you think so far?
If you have the Pixel 8 Pro, you might not notice a huge upgrade in this version. However, if you’re upgrading from an older version or doing a switch from a non-Pixel phone, the 9 Pro has a lot to love. One of my favorite things about Pixel phones is the ongoing support for many years. Older Pixels still get all of the updates and tons of AI features that make the phone feel fresh many years later, with the latest ones dropping last month. With the Pixel 9 Pro, you’ll be getting a quality phone with software updates for quite a while (as long as seven years).
