The Google Pixel 9 Pro stands as the pinnacle of the Pixel series, currently available at an incredible price. The unlocked 128GB model is currently priced at $799, down from the original $999. This represents the best price ever recorded on Amazon, as verified by price tracking services.

Additionally, the 256GB variant is also offered at a record low of $899 (down from $1,099), providing double the storage for just an additional $100. Likewise, the 512GB edition has been discounted to $1,019 from $1,219, along with the 1TB version, available for $1,249 (previously $1,449).

As the centerpiece of the Pixel offerings, the Pixel 9 Pro sits alongside the more affordable Pixel 9 and the foldable Pixel 9 Pro Fold. The Pixel 9 Pro features a robust 16GB of RAM, begins at 128GB of internal storage, boasts a fluid 120Hz refresh rate, and operates on the latest Android 14 OS. As highlighted in the review of the Pixel 9 Pro by DailyHackly’s associate technology editor Michelle Ehrhardt, this device showcases the most advanced hardware developed by Google to date, albeit with some minor imperfections in its AI functionalities. However, improvements to AI features are anticipated over time; the foundation of an exceptional smart device lies in its hardware strengths.

Battery performance is impressive, reportedly lasting approximately 18 hours and 40 minutes, based on continuously streaming YouTube content, according to Michelle’s analysis. The primary camera system includes a 50MP main shooter, a 48MP ultra-wide lens featuring a 123-degree field of view, and a 48MP telephoto lens with 30x Super Res Zoom capability.

If you’re currently using the Pixel 8 Pro, you may not experience substantial enhancements with this new model. However, for those transitioning from an older device or switching from a non-Pixel smartphone, the features of the Pixel 9 Pro are hard to resist. One of the key advantages of Pixel devices is their commitment to long-term support and updates. For example, the Pixel 6A continues to receive updates including numerous AI-driven features that keep the user experience fresh over time, the latest batch of which rolled out last month. The Pixel 9 Pro promises a premium experience coupled with software support extending for several years (up to seven years).
