Google has slashed the price of the Pixel 9 series in the company’s first major sale since the Black Friday shopping period last month.

The discounts are similar to Google’s Black Friday pricing, with the exception of the Pixel 9 Pro Fold, which has received an even bigger price drop than two weeks ago. The Search company has also upped trade-in prices.

  • Pixel 9 – $649, $150 off
  • Pixel 9 Pro – $849, $150 off
  • Pixel 9 Pro Fold – $1,499, $300 off
  • Pixel 8a – $399, $100 off

These are good prices for Google’s 2024 tech, particularly the Pixel 9 Pro discount. Read my review here. But they don’t match up to Amazon’s cheapest prices for the 2024 Pixel just a couple of weeks ago.

There is also no discount for the Pixel 8 range. For that, you will have to go to Best Buy, which is selling the base Pixel 8 and Pixel 8 Pro $200 and $350 less respectively.

Google’s trade-in prices have been temporarily enhanced, too. As ever, Google is the only place you will get good prices for older Pixel phones.

  • Pixel 7 Pro – $540
  • Pixel 6 Pro – $450
  • Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra – $300
  • Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra – $360
  • Apple iPhone 12 Pro Max – $330
  • Apple iPhone 14 Pro Max – $635

Google saves its best prices for realistic trade-ins (a couple of years old) for Apple handsets. Trade-in values for Samsung and other Android phones don’t stand out, but if you have a Pixel phone this is the only place you will get a decent offer for it.

I expect the Pixel 7 Pro trade-in price to remain fairly stable considering Google recently extended software support for it. You can see the difference between Google’s trade-in pricing between a phone that is still supported, such as the Pixel 6 Pro ($450), and a phone that recently fell out of the update cycle, like the Pixel 5 ($245).

If you are on an extreme budget, the Pixel 7 Pro might offer the perfect balance between a flagship Google experience, remaining software support, and price. Check out my story on that here.
