There is a very wide choice of discounted, quality Android smartphones, with Google in particular carving out a stellar reputation in this area.
We are struggling to find a better discount than the 300 bucks off the Google Pixel 9, however. Yes, you read that right. It’s the best pre-Black Friday deal we have seen this week.
In our original review, we praised the Google Pixel 9 for its great photo quality and macro mode, along with a genuinely useful 2-3x digital zoom, AF on the selfie camera and a generous seven years of updates.
We did feel that the lack of a telephoto camera was a drawback on a premium priced phone, but acceptable on a more budget model, which would make it a ‘great buy’. Well, the Google Pixel 9 now falls much more into that budget category, so it’s officially a great buy!
