Smartphones are more expensive than ever, and even $50 off can lighten the pain a purchase of one inflicts on your wallet. While Prime Day is best known for deals on video games, Blu-rays, and other tech items, it's not always a guarantee that we see a fantastic smartphone deal. However, this year, Amazon has the Google Pixel 9 Pro XL discounted to $749, which matches the lowest price we've ever seen this phone at. If you're in the market for a new phone and aren't locked into the Apple ecosystem, the Pixel 9 Pro XL is easily one of the best phones you can buy.
At this price, it's an excellent deal for a new Android phone. The Pixel 9 Pro XL has only dropped lower one other time, and this is the closest we've seen to the biggest price cut. There's also a pretty good deal on the smaller Pixel 9 if you're looking to spend less.
