The Google Pixel 9 and Pixel 9 Pro are available at record low prices on Amazon for Black Friday, with the Pixel 9 Pro discounted from $999 to $799 and the Pixel 9 from $799 to $649. Both models feature Google's latest Tensor G4 chip and advanced AI capabilities, with the Pixel 9 Pro offering superior display and camera features. The Pixel 9 sold out over the weekend but is back in stock, though supplies may run out again before Black Friday.
Google has launched an early Black Friday deal on the Pixel 9, offering a $150 discount on both the 128GB and 256GB models, bringing their prices to $649 and $749 respectively. This deal comes a few weeks earlier than expected, providing a significant saving on a phone praised for its design, performance, display, and camera, despite lacking a telephoto lens. The Pixel 9 is available in various colors and promises monthly updates for the next seven years.
Google is set to release Android 16 on June 3, significantly earlier than previous versions, aligning with the early launch of the Pixel 9. This simultaneous release to AOSP and Pixel devices aims to ensure new partner devices launching in the fall come with Android 16. The early rollout also allows for a second update later in the year, focusing on AI enhancements. This shift in release strategy is part of Google's broader plan to improve device stability and capitalize on market timing.
