With Christmas just around the corner, it’s time to remember that sometimes the best holiday gifts are bought for yourself. The holidays are the perfect excuse to treat yourself to a new phone, especially with the Google Pixel 9 Pro XL available at its best-ever price. This behemoth of a phone would normally sell for almost $1,100 but you can save $250 off yours at Amazon and pay just $849 instead. Best Buy is also matching the same $849 price but the deal is listed on its deals of the day page, suggesting time is running out to place your order.
As far as best phone deals go, this is a doozy and the Pixel 9 Pro XL is easily one of the best Android phones in its class. Being able to pick one up with a huge $250 savings really is just the icing on the cake.

As far as the phone itself is concerned, there is an awful lot to like here. The good news begins with the massive 6.8-inch Super Actua display and continues with support for fast wired and wireless charging. It’s also IP68 dust and water-resistant so you don’t need to worry about it getting wet too.
Camera-wise, Google’s high-end phone comes with a 42-megapixel selfie camera and a 50-megapixel main camera while a 48-megapixel camera takes care of ultrawide shots. Fans of zoom lenses will also enjoy the 48-megapixel sensor attached to that lens here too.

Based on their popularity, here are the holiday deals that you should be considering
Will this item arrive in time for Christmas?
If you’re ordering this as a holiday gift, you probably want to know if it’s going to arrive on time. With Christmas and Hanukkah both taking place on Dec. 25 this year, and Kwanzaa kicking off the day after, it’s important to note shipping deadlines for USPS, FedEx, UPS, Amazon and others.
Guaranteed shipping deadlines at some of these delivery companies arrive as soon as Dec. 16, with others offering expedited services that may allow you to order as late as Dec. 23 or even Dec. 24. Where delivery is no longer possible, be sure to assess your in-store pickup options or check out these great digital deals for the holidays.
Your new Google Pixel 9 Pro XL will arrive before Christmas, according to both Amazon and Best Buy’s product pages.
