Best Buy Briefly Sold The Pixel 9 Pro XL For $599 In Insane Deal

The Pixel 9 Pro XL is the most expensive phone from Google right now, at least, out of the ones that don’t fold. Through an insane Best Buy deal, the Pixel 9 Pro XL was briefly $500 off, but it seems that was a short-lived event or a glitch.

Out of Google’s four main Pixel 9 models, the Pixel 9 Pro has two distinct sizes. The main Pixel 9 Pro model takes on the same design as the small Pixel 9, but it carries a better camera and better screen, which also means it’s more expensive. All of Google’s Pixel 9 phones house Google Gemini and some welcome AI features in Android 15.

At any other time, the Pixel 9 Pro XL sells for $1,099. That isn’t so abnormal in 2025, but it’s still not cheap. During what was seemingly a glitch event or an insanely quick deal, Best Buy hosted a crazy sale that had the Pixel 9 Pro XL listed for only $599. This was originally posted on Reddit, and it seemed like at least one user corroborated that the deal was real for at least a short time. One even noted that the order they placed is currently in a “preparing for pickup” state. That was $500 off of the original price tag for the 128GB model in Obsidian and Porcelain. The 256GB model is also only $699.

What’s even more surprising about this deal is the lack of a trade-in requirement. Generally, Best Buy caveats these sales with a trade-in option that will get you a good price at the cost of your current phone. That wasn’t the case here, and the Pixel 9 Pro XL was $599 without a traded device.

There’s no info on how long this deal lasted, but it’s now completely gone from the website. On the surface, it appeared Best Buy was selling the Pixel 9 Pro XL for $599, but once added to the cart, the price was set to the full MSRP. This got our hopes up, but it seems too good to be true.

The Pixel 9 Pro phones are highly regarded as some of the best Android phones in the last year or so, and it even won phone of the year at MWC. We won’t ever tell you to buy the phone, but this was one of the best Pixel 9 Pro deals we’ve seen this year, even if it may have been a website error.
