If you want to get your hands on the new Google Pixel 9, but you’re not happy with the fact Google raised the price for the second year in a row, we have the perfect deal for you. It’s actually possible to save $500 on the price of the Pixel 9 thanks to Black Friday.
That’s right, Mint Mobile is selling the Google Pixel 9 for just $299. You thought deals knocking $200 off the price of this phone were good? Well this clearly knocks those out of the water. Better still, Mint is offering a year’s worth of unlimited data for just $15 a month — easily making this the best Pixel 9 deal around right now.
The Google Pixel 9 is a major leap forward for Google’s phones, taking all the best parts of the Pixel 8 and improving upon them. Most noticeable of all is how much better the battery life is, something Google has always been pretty poor at, and ensuring that this year’s phone is competitive with its biggest rivals — even if it doesn’t last quite as long as some of them.
Other upgrades include the new brighter version of the Actua display, an improved 48MP ultrawide camera lens, 12GB of RAM instead of 8GB, and the Tensor G4 chipset. While it’s not a performance powerhouse like you’d expect from Samsung or Apple, Tensor’s real strengths lie in AI processing and boosting camera quality — two things the Pixel 9 excels at. To the point where Tom’s Guide Phones Editor John Velasco feels like the Pixel 9 is a better option than either Pro model.
The Pixel 9 also benefits from extended longevity, thanks to Google offering 7 years of software support. That means you’re guaranteed new Android and security updates up until summer 2031 — at which point Google could be gearing up to release the Pixel 16. The fact you’re only paying $299 means that this is an incredible deal. Even if you’re not planning on keeping the phone that long, it should help boost its eventual trade-in value.
Plus, now that Android 15 has been released, and Android 16 is on the way, you’ll be able to take advantage of all the best new software Google has to offer — and before anyone using a non-Pixel phone.
