The Galaxy S25 series is finally set to be revealed during Samsung Unpacked tomorrow, but why wait for the main event when you can score an amazing Google Pixel 9 deal right now? Best Buy is currently carving $250 off the popular flagship phone when you activate through a carrier, knocking the price down to just $549. Skip activation and you'll still score $150 off the unlocked Pixel, zero hassle involved and no trade-in required.
Pixel magic at a midrange price
As detailed in our Pixel 9 review, Google's latest flagship offers some significant improvements over its predecessor and comes pretty darn close to reaching the power of its more-expensive Pro sibling. The 12GB of RAM and Tensor G4 chipset offer enough processing power to handle nearly all tasks with ease, plus you get loads of AI-powered software features and seven years of OS/security updates guaranteed. Like most Google phones, the Pixel 9 also features great haptics and battery life, and the 120Hz AMOLED display could easily rival any of the best Android phones on the market.
The big question now is how will the Samsung Galaxy S25 challenge Google's flagship? Rumors and leaks thus far have suggested that the Galaxy S25 will boast some pretty impressive specs and software features, but how much will you actually notice the difference with regular use?
If you're a massive Samsung fan, my advice would be to wait a day and see what the new flagship series has to offer, especially if you can manage a trade-in deal once the Galaxy S25 preorder deals go live. But if you simply want a great phone at a great price right now, then skip all of the Unpacked festivities and order the Google Pixel 9 through Best Buy today.
