Deals: Google Pixel 9, Pixel 9 and 9 Pro, plus the Pixel 9 Pro Fold go on pre-order

By far the biggest launch this week was the arrival of the Google Pixel 9 series. The search giant unveiled two new flagships, a new near-flagship phone and a new foldable, all of which are currently on pre-order.

Google and Amazon are offering store credit with the purchase of a Pixel 9 phone and some accessories like the new buds.

The Google Pixel 9 starts at $1,100 for the base 128GB model and fetches $150 in store credit. Additionally, you can trade-in an old phone – a Pixel 8 in good condition is valued at $380, a Pixel 7 at $300, a Galaxy S23 at $365. Old Apple phones get the best trade-in value with an iPhone 15 listed at $520 and a 14 at $450.

You might want to get a case to protect your new phone – the official cases from Google are made with recycled materials (at least 42% of the total, 85% of the polycarbonate shell). The Pixel 9 and 9 Pro are the same size, so they use the same cases, the larger Pixel 9 Pro XL has a separate case – both cost the same $50.

The Google Pixel 9 Pro Fold gets the most store credit yet, $475, and it needs it too. A trade-in won’t hurt either, e.g. you can get $500 for a Pixel 8 Pro or $600 for a Galaxy Z Fold5. The Fold also gets a year of free Gemini Advanced.

Google launched a new 45W charger, which you will need to get the maximum charge speed with the Pixel 9 Pro – the old 35W charger won’t cut it. That said, if you have a USB-PD charger you are happy with, you can skip this one.
