New to Prime Day? We’ve got the lowdown on everything you need to know . Sales are accurate at the time of publication, but prices and inventory are always subject to change.
Prime Day is in full swing, which means tech deals are dropping fast, including a pretty hefty discount on Google’s new flagship. The Pixel 9 Pro (128GB, unlocked) , which just launched, is just $734, $265 off its regular price of $999. According to price trackers , that’s the lowest price on Amazon right now. Like all Prime Day deals , it’s only available to Prime subscribers, but the 30-day free trial is great for those who don’t have a subscription yet.
The Pixel 9 Pro comes with 16GB of RAM, runs Android 14, has a 120Hz refresh rate for smooth scrolling, and Google’s clean, uncluttered software interface. One of the biggest selling points is Google’s promise of seven years of software support , which is about as reliable as Android gets. According to Lifehacker Associate Tech Editor Michelle Erhardt’s review , this premium smartphone’s hardware is some of the best Google has ever produced. That said, the AI features , while ambitious, are still a bit flaky at times, but since they’re tied to software updates , they’ll likely improve over time. As for battery life, Michelle got nearly 19 hours of YouTube playback on a single charge during her testing of the device, which is pretty solid.
On the camera front, you get a 50-megapixel main sensor, a 48-megapixel ultra-wide with a 123-degree field of view, and a 48-megapixel telephoto lens with 30x Super Res zoom. The results are sharp, detailed, and in line with what Pixel phones are known for. If you’re coming from a Pixel 8 Pro , the difference may not seem like a huge deal. But for those upgrading from an older phone or switching from another brand entirely, it’s a noticeable jump in speed, image quality, and overall polish. For those not interested in foldables or entry-level phones, the Pixel 9 Pro is the most balanced option in Google’s current lineup , and at $734 for the unlocked 128GB version, it feels more affordable than usual.
