The wait is over: Google has officially revealed its newest lineup of flagship phones, so if you're ready to buy the Pixel 9, you've come to the right place. Whether you want the base model Pixel 9, the super-powered Pixel 9 Pro, or the sizeable Google Pixel 9 Pro XL, I've gathered all of the best early deals on the web (so far) into this guide.

The Made by Google 2024 announcement event just kicked off moments ago, so I'm still waiting for the majority of preorder offers to go live. That said, you can expect to find loads of trade-in opportunities to go live over the next few hours, alongside storage upgrades, free gift cards, and more. If you can't find what you're looking for yet, feel free to bookmark this page and check back later: I'll keep adding new deals as I find them.

    AC was bragging that you could get a 9 for free in some cases so I tried the BB trade in system for my Pixel 8 Pro and sadly, they only offered $625. My phone is in mint/like new condition. Had hoped it would be closer to being worth at least $700 for the new P9 offers that are out there.
