Current Discounts on Google’s Pixel 9 Series

The Google Pixel 9 series is currently available at significant discounts on Amazon, with reductions of up to £350, making all models, except the foldable version, priced under £1,000. Notably, the new Pixel 9a is being offered at a more accessible price point, nearly half that of its higher-end counterparts.

While the Pixel 9a doesn’t feature a traditional discount, it does come bundled with a complimentary pair of Pixel Buds A-series. The design of the 9a resembles that of the Pixel 9, as both devices utilize the same Tensor G4 chipset and feature IP68-rated aluminum frames. However, the Pixel 9a does include certain downgrades to achieve its lower price.

In contrast, the Google Pixel 9 is currently marked down by £250, bringing the entry-level model’s price only £50 above the 9a. This slight premium offers considerable advantages, including an additional 4GB of RAM. The glass protection on the Pixel 9 is also upgraded to Gorilla Glass Victus 2, rather than the previous GG3. Furthermore, its camera hardware outshines the 9a, boasting a larger 1/1.31” sensor for the main camera as well as a 48MP ultra-wide lens in comparison to the 9a’s 13MP. Although the Pixel 9’s battery capacity is slightly smaller at 4,700mAh, it supports faster charging speeds of 27W wired and 15W wireless, compared to the 5,100mAh battery that charges at 23W wired and 7.5W wireless in the 9a.

Stepping up to the Pixel 9 Pro entails a significant price increase, but it provides substantial enhancements. For the additional cost, users gain another 4GB of RAM and a more advanced LTPO display, though both the Pro and base models maintain a 6.3” screen size. The Pro also features a remarkable 48MP periscope camera with a 5x optical zoom capability. For those interested in a comprehensive comparison of features, our Pixel 9 vs. Pixel 9 Pro article offers an in-depth look at their differences.

For consumers seeking a larger flagship device, the Google Pixel 9 Pro XL presents itself with a substantial 6.8” display and an upgraded 5,060mAh battery, enabling even faster charging rates of 37W wired and 23W wireless. For a thorough breakdown, refer to our head-to-head comparison of the Pixel 9 Pro and the Pixel 9 Pro XL.

The market for foldable devices has not yet exploded as manufacturers had hoped, primarily due to the high cost associated with book-style foldables. Even with a £350 discount, the Google Pixel 9 Pro Fold still represents a significant investment, but it allows users to engage early with Google’s advancements in foldable technology. For instance, Android 16 will enhance app resizing capabilities, facilitating a smoother transition between the cover and the main display.
