My favorite Pixel phone just crashed to a record low price, and now I’m wishing I hadn’t bought one already

The Memorial Day sales are still a few weeks away, but that hasn’t stopped Amazon from dropping one of the best Google Pixel 9 Pro deals I’ve ever seen. One of my favorite Android phones (and one that I personally bought with a painfully inferior discount) is now selling for as low as $799.99 through the retailer, with the 512GB version chilling at 25% off. The Pixel 9 Pro has only hit this record low price once before, so don’t make the same mistake I did and buy now if you’re interested. 

We gave the Google Pixel 9 Pro a glowing 4/5-star review back when the flagship lineup was revealed late last year, and it isn’t hard to see why. The phone boasts a stunning 6.3-inch OLED display that’s simply a joy to use in any light, while under the hood you get 16GB of RAM, the ultra-efficient Tensor G4 processor, and all of the latest AI-boosted software features. As usual with Google phones, the Pixel 9 Pro’s cameras are truly exceptional, plus you get superb haptics and seven years of OS and security upgrades guaranteed. 

That being said, Pixel phones have a reputation for being relatively inefficient when it comes to gaming, and while I’ve never had any issues with simple side-scrollers or puzzle apps, you might want to look for a different gaming phone if you play graphics-intensive titles like Genshin Impact. You might also have a problem with the Pixel 9 Pro if you’re sensitive to PWM flicker, so consider doing a little research on that if you’ve had issues before. 

Aside from those few faults, the Google Pixel 9 Pro is an excellent daily driver that I use for just about everything, from streaming TV shows and films to capturing photos and video in 4K resolution. Don’t get me wrong, there are almost always Pixel 9 deals on the web to explore, but if you’re looking for a straight price drop on the Pro, don’t sleep on this discount from Amazon.
