With the Pixel 11 series on the horizon, it’s a good time to shop for deals on previous-gen Pixel hardware. And while the current-gen Pixel 10 devices still feature on our list of the best Android phones on the market, you can save even more if you’re willing to go a generation older and consider a Pixel 9 model — though you’ll need to know where to look in order to snag a deal on one as supplies begin to thin out.
The remaining deals are decent, since you’re looking at up to $300 off directly, plus up to $800 in savings if you’ve got an eligible trade-in. The ways to save vary, too, including direct discounts on unlocked handsets or trade-in-subsidized deals through carriers. To help you make the most of these offers, Adrian Marlow and other CNET deals experts have scoured the web to bring you the best offers on Pixel 9 devices.
We’ll continue to update this page as offers come and go, so check back often.

Best Pixel 9 deals
If you have a phone to trade in, you can get up to $800 off the Pixel 9 at Xfinity, making it effectively free with a new line. No trade-in? You can still save $400 with a new line, or $200 if you upgrade a line.
Spectrum is offering an extra $100 off when you purchase a Pixel 9 series phone, on top of the value of your trade-in device (eligible trade-in required). You can also get $360 off on all the models over a period of 36 months with the Unlimited Plus Premium Plan. If you change or cancel the plan, then you’ll lose the offer.
Extra $100 off with eligible trade-in
While there’s no direct discount, if you’re a new customer or opt for Verizon loyalty, you can save $40 on activation and upgrade charges.
The Google Store has the Pixel 9 available with trade-in discounts of up to $560. If you prefer a Pro or Pro XL device, Google Fi still stocks those, and trade-ins can save you some cash there, too.
Up to $560 off with trade-in
