The Google Pixel 9 Pro Gets a Huge Discount Again, But at Target This Time

The Google Pixel line has seen its fair share of discounts so far in 2025. Amazon and Best Buy have been dropping prices on the standard Pixel 9, Pro, and XL versions of this phone pretty much every month so far this year. Now Target has decided to get in on the action by dropping the price of the Pixel 9 Pro down to just $699. The last discount we saw on this phone was at Amazon back in February, so this is a great deal to take advantage of if you've been looking to upgrade.

I purchased a Pixel 8 during Prime Day last year when it went on sale and have loved the phone so far. It's a great alternative to the iPhone with an excellent camera and a pretty good battery life. The Pixel 9 series is the latest in the Pixel phone line, so it's the newest model you can buy.

The Best Google Pixel 9 Pro Deal Today

This deal is only available at Target right now and only for the Obsidian color. The discounted price doesn't show up unless you add it to your cart, so if you don't initially see the price, that's why. It's also worth noting that only the 128GB version of the phone is available at this price, so you'll need to look elsewhere if you want increased storage.

This is thanks to multiple excellent front and back cameras as well as AI-powered photo editing features that make it really easy to edit photos after you take them.

What We Said in Our Review

Mobile expert Mark Knapp reviewed the Pixel 9 Pro when it first came out last year. Here's a quick synopsis of what he thought of the phone:

"The Pixel 9 Pro is simply a great camera phone. Its combination of sensors and extra Pro controls make it a powerful tool for both casual and intentional photography. Beyond that, it’s a solid smartphone, with ample performance for both everyday use and even some more demanding gaming. It might not keep up with something like the OnePlus 12 or Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra in terms of raw performance, but it may be some time before we see any of the three phones really brought to their knees in typical operation. It would be great if Google’s AI features were more thoroughly baked and played a more obvious role on the Pixel 9 Pro’s hardware, as they currently seem artificially restricted to the phone, but Google’s stumbles on software don’t stand in the way of the Pixel 9 Pro being a great phone in general as much as they keep it from going above and beyond. Its great hardware, slick design, and tame size make it an especially exciting treat for those looking for a small phone without much compromise."

When Is the Next Line of Pixel Phones Coming Out?

If you are hoping to wait for the next generation of Pixel phones to arrive before you make a purchase, you will still need to wait quite a while. We expect Google to launch the Pixel 10 line sometime in August or early September. The new phones will usually come out a month or two before the new iPhones tend to release. There is also the Google Pixel 9A, which is set to come out on April 10. This should be Google's answer to the budget iPhone 16e.
