Google Pixel phones drop to low prices - but shoppers need to be quick

Sky Mobile has dramatically cut prices on selected with monthly costs plummeting £14. Discounts are up for grabs across all Pixel 9 devices, and tech guru Chris Hall, who reviews countless phones each year, takes a peek at the specs and sales.

First up is the newest addition, the This is Google's most wallet-friendly model in the Pixel 9 series, launched in April 2025, so it's hot off the press.

It boasts the same core hardware as the , providing ample power for snapping photos, gaming or browsing through emails. Sky Mobile has slashed the price to £14 a month, with no upfront cost.

Sky also offers a range of data plans, starting from £0 a month, but the discounted 50GB plan at £10 a month is particularly noteworthy. Combined, users will have plenty of data and a top-tier phone to make the most of it, all for £24 a month.

However, buyers should note that if they choose the 50GB data plan, the discount only lasts for six months - therefore, it's always worth double-checking before signing up for a long-term plan. While deal may seem enticing, they're not the only provider dishing out these competitive prices,

Chris scoped out the deals at GiffGaff, which The Mirror rates as one of the networks with top customer satisfaction. It is offering the for £25.87 a month, and the price won't skyrocket after the first 6 months.

Sky Mobile has also slashed the price of the to £28 monthly, down from £34. That's a saving of £144 over the term of the contract. Customers can match the with any amount of data they fancy. It does ask for an upfront cost of £12.

The Pixel 9a sports a 6.3-inch screen, but the wide bezel might not win everyone's heart since it's a budget-friendly option. On the device, Chris said: "The icing on the cake is undoubtedly the camera. Despite only having a dual camera and lacking the zoom feature of the Pro model, the consistency and quality of the photos it produces are unrivalled in this price range.

Additionally, it provides users with access to Google's AI, the most exciting feature of which is housed in Magic Editor, making photo editing a breeze. However, as much as I appreciate the Pixel 9a, I find the screen size too small."

Chris's top tech recommendation is the , highlighting its generous 6.8-inch screen and vibrant display that makes images look spectacular: "Firstly, it has a larger 6.8-inch display, providing me with ample space for all my apps and games, and it has a wonderfully bright display, so photos look stunning," he remarked.

Wrapping up his review, Chris added: "Whilst the Pixel 9 Pro XL may not boast the best battery life - for that, you'd be better off with the - it does offer an exceptional camera and a clean Android experience. Being the first to receive new Android features truly sets the Pixel apart from its competitors."
