Best Google Pixel 9 and Pixel 9 Pro plans in Australia (August 2025)

New Pixels were announced at the recent Made by Google even, including the Google Pixel 10, Pixel 10 Pro, Pixel 10 Pro XL and Pixel Pro Fold for which preorder deals for these new models are now available. While we have more detailed thoughts on the Google Pixel 9 vs the Google Pixel 10, the older model still offers a top-tier mobile experience that makes it worth buying, especially since it should be considerably cheaper once the 10 series is released on August 28.

While the Google Pixel 9a offers a more premium design and better cameras, the entire Pixel 9 series remains one of the best Android phones on the market. The Google Pixel 9 Pro boasts a better display, dedicated telephoto lens and faster charging compared to the regular Pixel 9. It is essentially the same device as the Pixel 9 Pro XL but with a 6.3-inch display instead of the 6.8-inch screen.

With the new range coming soon, you can expect some serious Pixel 9 deals from retailers like Amazon and The Good Guys, and prices on plans are also likely to drop. Despite that, the Pixel 9 series remains one of the better value flagship handsets available – and these are the best plans you can get.

Google Pixel 9: Key Information

• New XL-sized Pro model
• Tensor G4 chipset
• Refreshed design
• Display, camera, and battery improvements

The Google Pixel 9 range represented one of the biggest upgrades we've seen from Google. Not only have all devices received a major design refresh and new chipset, but it added two new models to its lineup.

The Pixel 9 introduced the Pro XL and Pro Fold models, which replaced the Pixel 8 Pro as the most premium device in the range. The Fold, as you'd imagine, boasts a foldable design, whereas the XL is a more like-for-like replacement of the Pixel 8 Pro with a larger display versus the standard model. The latest Pixel 9 Pro sports essentially the same form factor as the standard Pixel 9 with all the features exclusive to the Pro line.

Alongside the new Tensor G4 chipset, the Pixel 9 Pro models have an upgraded 16GB of RAM, a new 42MP front camera, and improved video features (super zoom and 8K). These improvements are available in both the 6.8-inch Pro XL and 6.3-inch Pro models so can you choose between a decently-sized phone and something a little more pocket-friendly.

The standard Google Pixel 9 comes in at 6.3 inches and includes the new Tensor G4 chipset, a new 48MP ultra-wide lens, and an upgraded display that's 35% brighter. It also features an improved battery that's bigger and supports faster charging. Overall, it's quite a significant upgrade - enough for the standard model to stand on its own as a serious flagship contender.

All Google Pixel 9 devices include a lengthy seven years of guaranteed updates as well as a focus on AI integration via Google's new Gemini assistant. Gemini can help you do everything from daily planning to translation with a new Pixel 9-exclusive feature called 'Pixel Screenshots' being a particular highlight.
