The Google Pixel 9 series has officially launched, generating buzz with its array of new models including flagships, near-flagship phones, and even foldable options. Currently, consumers can pre-order these devices with some enticing deals attached, making now a compelling time to upgrade.
For example, in Germany, customers benefit from free storage upgrades when buying new phones. This means you'd be able to snatch up a 256GB model for the price of the 128GB version, or, if you’re eyeing the new Fold, you can get the 512GB model at the 256GB price point.
The Pixel 9 leads the pack with trade-in bonuses, with both Google and Amazon offering €150 off when exchanging your old device. But if you're holding onto last year’s Pixel 8, be prepared for disappointing trade-in values of just €186, significantly lower than the iPhone 15, which fetches around €510, including the bonus!
Shifting gears to the Pixel 9 Pro and Pixel 9 Pro XL, these models come with even sweeter trade-in incentives, offering €200 bonuses. Plus, buyers will enjoy one year of Gemini Advanced for free, usually worth €22 per month.
Availability can vary quite a bit depending on the color and storage option you want. For example, the Pixel 9 Pro XL is only available with the 256GB model when you choose Rose Quartz, but if you opt for Hazel or Obsidian, you can also get 512GB.
And let's not forget about the Pixel 9 Pro Fold, which raises the trade-in bonus to €300 and includes the 512GB model upgrade for free. It's important to note, though, there's limited volume on colors and storage so hurry if you have your eyes set on something specific.
The pricing is also quite significant, with the Pixel 9 listed at around €900, the Pixel 9 Pro at €1,100, and the Pro XL costing roughly €1,200. If you're feeling adventurous, the Pixel 9 Pro Fold is available for €1,900.
Perks are aplenty if you're considering getting the Google Pixel Watch 3 alongside the Pro phones. You can enjoy discounts up to €150 on the watch when you purchase with the Pixel 9 Pro XL, making it even more appealing.
Speaking of the Pixel Watch 3, this latest addition is offered in both 41mm and 45mm sizes, the latter featuring a larger 1.4” display and boosted battery life. Priced at around €400 for the smaller version and €450 for the larger, it's positioned as a sleek companion for the new Pixel series.
Also making waves are the new Pixel Buds Pro 2, which sport Google's custom Tensor chips, enhancing their noise cancellation abilities. With up to eight hours of battery life per charge and total usage extending to 30 hours with the case, these buds are set to compete with the best on the market.
Google unleashed its new 4th Gen Nest Learning Thermostat just before the new Pixel 9, Pixel Buds Pro 2, and Pixel Watch 3, but the current wireless Google Nest Doorbell Battery remains the latest and it is now at the lowest price tracked on Amazon. Regularly $180, the Ivy and Snow white models have now dropped down to $99.99 shipped.
This is $80 off the MSRP, $10 below the previous mention, and the lowest we can find. For comparison’s sake, it is still sitting at the full $180 via Best Buy.
While they are certainly more pricey than the new TP-Link models starting at $51, you won’t get Google’s special brand of minimalist design with those, never mind the first-party integrations. The model available today at the lowest price is of the wireless persuasion.
This means it carries a rechargeable battery inside so there’s no need for hardwiring for power. It features two-way talk action, allowing you to communicate and see anyone at the door without opening it.
This feature is also included at no extra charge — "3 hours of free event video history" — even if your Wi-Fi goes down or there’s a power issue. The Nest Doorbell can store up to 1 hour of recorded events.
Google has also upgraded the design of its earbuds. The Pixel Buds Pro 2 feature improvements like being 27% smaller and 24% lighter than their predecessors, which makes them more comfortable.
They keep the stemless design but come with new color options including Porcelain, Hazel, Wintergreen, and Peony. Their IP54 rating also offers better resistance against dust and sweat, making them more durable for everyday use.
With the new Tensor A1 chip, the Pixel Buds Pro 2 deliver better performance, featuring voice controls and enhanced sound quality. This next-generation chip offers loads of new features, promising to make the user experience smoother and more engaging.
With AI capabilities, these buds can now detect conversations and switch modes accordingly, enhancing user interaction. Overall, whether you’re eyeing the enticing offers on the Pixel 9 series or considering new accessories, Google's latest line is poised to impress.
Deals like up to €350 gift cards on Pixel 9 orders and cashback offerings make now the ideal moment for consumers to upgrade. With options across different price points and specs, the Google Pixel lineup truly caters to diverse user needs.
The excitement around the Google Pixel 9 series has genuinely sparked interest among technology enthusiasts. The combination of powerful specs and tempting deals might just make it the smartphone highlight of the year.
From seamless integration within the Google ecosystem to stunning camera capabilities, there’s much to look forward to with these new waves of technology. So whether it's for work or play, these devices are geared to impress.
