Following the company’s huge Pixel 8 Pro price drop , and giving away 12 months of Google AI Pro to Pixel 9 owners, Google is back with one last discount before the Pixel 10 lands.
This is the company’s deepest discount for the Pixel 9 series yet. There will almost certainly be more after the Pixel 10 officially launches this month, but I don’t see Google dropping the price by much more until next year. With that said, I wouldn’t be surprised if we saw more aggressive trade-in deals, like June’s promotion that paid out hundreds of dollars for years-old phones.
Here are Google UK’s current Pixel 9 deals.
- Pixel 9 – £549 ($731), £250 off ($332.88)
- Pixel 9a – £429 ($571.22), £70 off ($93.21)
- Pixel 9 Pro – £679 ($904.09), £320 off ($426.08)
- Pixel 9 Pro XL – £799 ($1063.87), £300 off ($399.45)
- Pixel 9 Pro Fold – £1,399 ($1862.78), 350 off ($466.03)
The star of the show here is the Pixel 9 Pro, which is down to £679 ($904.09). That is a solid price for Google’s most powerful handset (the Pro XL has a bigger screen and battery, but the same ‘pro’ camera features). To quickly compare, Samsung’s Galaxy S25 Ultra costs over £400 more (£1099 / $1463) even with the company’s current £150 ($199.73) discount. Apple’s iPhone 16 Pro remains, predictably, resolutely, at its full $999 price.
Don’t forget that the Pixel 9 Pro comes with one year of Google AI Pro for free. Google One subscribers also get 10% of the purchase back as store credit. It’s not just Pixel phones, Google has also discounted the Pixel Buds Pro 2 by £30 ($39.95) (down to £189 / $251.65) and the Pixel Watch 3 by £100 ($133.15) (down to £249 / $331.54).
Should You Wait For The Google Pixel 10?

That depends on how patient you are. Google is promising an “exclusive offer” to people who sign up for marketing emails. I’d guess this is a free accessory or subscription for people who pre-order the phone. But even with pre-order deals, these phones will dramatically drop in price soon after their launch.
Google has run some form of deal for its flagship Pixel phone almost every month since the Pixel 8. The price drops grow the further away the device is from its launch, as you can see with this Pixel 9 deal. Those discounts will start as early as October, especially as Samsung prepares to launch its Galaxy S25 FE and Apple’s iPhone 17 lands.
