Pixel 9 Pro drops to lowest price in Amazon's Memorial Day sale
Memorial Day sales are a great time to buy a new phone due to some great deals. This includes one of the smartest phones we've ever seen, the Google Pixel 9 Pro. Right now, you can grab the 512GB Google Pixel 9 Pro for $919 from Amazon, which means an overall discount of 25% over the usual $1,219 price. However, if you want to save a bit more cash, then you can instead get the 128GB version for $799 from Amazon or the 256GB version for $849. Finally, if you want the most storage possible, then you can grab the 1TB version for $1,149 from Amazon, which is an impressive 21% discount. In our Pixel 9 Pro review, we said the Pixel 09 Pro was "almost magical" and a look at the specs will show why. The phone features a 6.3-inch OLED display, the reasonably powerful Tensor G4 chips, 16GB of RAM and a slew of different storage options to fit your taste. For those shutterbugs out there, the Pixel 9 Pro has an awesome camera setup with 50MP wide (f/1.68), 48MP ultrawide (f/1.7) and 48MP 5x telephoto (f/2.8) lenses, as well as a 42MP selfie (f/2.2) cam. Other deals include: 128GB for $799256GB for $8491TB for $1,149 When we first reviewed the Google Pixel 9 Pro, we had a lot to praise about the device, from its super bright display and sleek compact design to the pretty outstanding battery life. Google has also equipped the phone with a pretty stellar camera setup, with a 50MP main camera, a 48MP Ultrawide, a 48MP telephoto lens with 5x zoom and a 42MP selfie camera. Some might complain that Google's Tensor G4 chip isn't all that powerful compared to other devices. However, we listed the Pixel 9 Pro as the smartest device in our best phones list because it has been designed to get the most out of AI. Compared to the constantly struggling Apple Intelligence, the Google Pixel Pro offers some of the best AI experiences on the market, including access to Gemini Live, as well as a host of AI features like Pixel Studio. The Pixel 9 Pro is the ideal phone for someone looking for a flagship phone that doesn't doesn't break the bank. This deal makes the phone even more tempting, and is one that any shopper looking for a discount should consider.

Google Pixel 9 Pro Drops to an All-Time Low, Perfect Time to Upgrade Mom's Phone
Maybe it's time to treat yourself to something new and cool with an upgrade to your smartphone. Amazon has the Google Pixel 9 Pro as part of a limited time deal, knocking off as much as 25% from its price. Right now, the 512GB model is a solid $300 off, bringing it down to just $919. Additionally, you can score the 256GB model for $250 off at just $849 or you can get the 128GB model for $100 off at just $799. See at Amazon The Latest Smartphone from Google The Google Pixel 9 Pro has a sizeable 6.3 inch screen with a resolution of 2340 x 1080, making reading emails and watching videos comfortable. The display is bright and vivid, even in sunlight and runs up to 120 Hz. Great for smooth gaming. The Pixel 9 Pro comes in a variety of colors, which include hazel, obsidian, and porcelain. Though, you were probably gonna put a case on it first thing anyway so who cares, right? Additionally, this deal is only for the 512 GB version. The Pixel 9 Pro is capable of amazing photos with the help of its triple rear camera system. A 50 MP main camera is accompanied by a 48 MP telephoto camera for pro-level zoom and a 48 MP ultrawide camera that is capable of Macro Focus. Take crazy good up close shots of small subjects. On the front side, you have a 42 MP camera for super-sharp selfies and videos. See at Amazon The phone's got built-in Gemini — Google's proprietary AI assistant — because, well, I guess everything needs to have AI baked into it these days. It can be used to combine photos to make group shots easier, generate images, summarize unread emails, and more. And it's powered by the Google Tensor G4 chip to handle all the AI processing. Best Take is an interesting feature that is able to combine multiple shots when taking a group photo. It can seamlessly pull elements from individual photos to make the best version of all of them. Cathy's eyes were closed in picture one, but Bob was looking away in picture two? No issue. Now you can combine the two so they're both looking their best in the pic you post. The phone is unlocked so you can set it up with a carrier and data plan of your choice, be it Google Fi, Verizon, T-Mobile, AT&T, or any other major carrier. Right now, you can save yourself a up to $300 when purchasing the Google Pixel 9 Pro Android smartphone. That's a 25% discount on the 512GB model, bringing the price down from $1,219 to just $919. This is lowest price Amazon has had the smartphone for since it launched last year. See at Amazon

Exotic exposures
Photographically, we have the luxury of having a camera in our pocket. We might just call it 'the phone', but an iPhone 16 Pro, Google Pixel 9 Pro or Samsung S25, has a seriously smart camera, and a series of lenses. We have the luxury of being able to point and shoot, and our smartphone camera will pull out just about all the tricks in the book to make us look like a brilliant photographer. We travellers then have the luxury of a wide range of light, high quality mirrorless cameras — the Sony range, Canon's R7, Nikon's Z8, and the Panasonic Lumix and Olympus OM ranges, for example. And then there is the seriously 'luxury' end of digital photography. I've just spotted a Hasselblad H6D-100c medium format DSLR camera in a sale. This camera has a recommended retail price of $58,309 — but in this online sale, this price has a line through it and it is replaced by a price of $58,299. Ten dollars off! (Sign me up now!) (By the way, would you like a lens with that camera body? The Hasselblad XCD 28mm f/4 P lens is a mere $3020. But for sheer 'isn't that beautiful' luxury, you'd have to track down a Leica R3 Electronic Gold 'Oskar Barnack 100th Anniversary'. It's like jewellery-and-camera rolled into one. Just 1000 cameras were made in 1979 to commemorate the 100th anniversary of the birth of Oskar Barnack, the inventor of the LEICA camera. Plated in 24 carat gold and with a lizard skin covering, the front of the prism housing is engraved with Barnack's signature and the dates '1879-1979'. Match it with a Leitz Wetzlar Summilux-R 50mm F1.4 lens. And what might you pay for it? Somewhere between $16,000 for a reasonably well-used one, to $23,000 for a cracker in a box.
