There's a new range of Google Pixel 9 devices available to preorder this week, complete with some superb deals for early adopters. One retailer has a clear edge over the others right now, though, if you're looking for outright value.
Surprisingly, it's Best Buy. Right now, the retailer's compelling combination of trade-in rebates of up to $1,000 off, a free storage upgrade, and a gift card of up to $200 in value is pretty much unbeatable. This is a serious line-up of deals and not to be missed if you're looking to get as much value as possible with your upgrade.
This particular deal applies to the Pixel 9, the Pixel 9 Pro, and the Pixel 9 Pro XL - with the cheaper devices having a slightly smaller gift card and rebate up for grabs. In short, you can get every single device in the range for free here if your trade-in is valued high enough.
Even better still, this Google Pixel 9 deal at Best Buy is for truly unlocked devices, which means you can pick and choose what cell phone plan to pair up with your phone. Want to go for a cheaper prepaid plan? No worries - you're not tied into the usual 36-month unlimited plan at one of the bigger carriers unless you want to be.
