This Google Pixel deal is too good to miss but won’t last long
Black Friday has come and gone but it turns out one of the best smartphone deals has waited until now to show up, courtesy of UK retailer Currys. The high street favourite has discounted one of the best Android phones of 2024 down to an almost unbelievably good price – but we don’t expect the deal to last long.
Right now, you can buy the Google Pixel 9 from Currys for £399, an astonishing saving of £300 from its usual £699 selling price. It’s also cheaper than rival retailers Amazon and Argos are selling the Pixel 9 for at the time of writing, at £499 and £599 respectively.
The Currys deal is for the Obsidian model of the Pixel 9, which is the black colour. Other colours were out of stock or priced higher, so it’s Obsidian or nothing, leading us to believe this could be a flash sale on the phone that might be to sell out the old stock – don’t expect this price to hang around for very long.
The Pixel 9 was released in 2024 but is still a stellar phone today thanks to being fully upgradable to Android 16 with a 6.3-inch OLED screen with 120Hz refresh rate, dual 50MP/48MP cameras, a large 4,700mAh battery, Google Tensor G4 processor and software updates guaranteed until 2031.
The phone has 128GB storage, which should be enough for most people for a few years – unfortunately there’s no microSD slot for expandable storage and, as with all Pixel phones, there is only one SIM slot. Thankfully an extra SIM is possible via eSIM compatibility.
The phone is also stuffed with handy AI and software tools such as Magic Eraser to remove people or objects from photos, as well as call screening, note taking and writing tools and a clever Pixel Screenshots app that can automatically summarise and categorise your chaotic screenshots.
As with all Pixel phones the main camera is outstanding, and you can record in 4K 60FPS with the front and rear cameras.
Throw in a reliable fingerprint sensor and a bold design with full IP68 dust and water resistance and you have a real bargain for £399 – a phone that could last you for several years.
Head over to see the deal at Currys and see if the retailer still has stock on what has got to be one of the best phone deals of the year.
