Are you looking for a cheap Google Pixel 9 this Black Friday? Right now, the prepaid carrier Mint Mobile is currently offering it's best-ever deal on this exceptional device, bringing it down to just $299 (was $799) when you pick it up alongside a plan.

Before you go, I know what you're thinking - the plan is the catch here, right? Well, you're technically right but Mint Mobile is also throwing in one full year of unlimited data for just $180 right now, which means that this is easily the cheapest non-trade-in method to get Google's latest flagship one.

And, unlike other Black Friday phone deals today, this particular deal at Mint Mobile doesn't require any of the annoying trade-in rebates that you usually need at the major carriers. In short, you're not only getting a cheap device here, but also a super-cheap plan without the usual hoops to jump through with Black Friday deals of this calibre.

Mint Mobile Black Friday Pixel 9 deal

Google Pixel 9: was $799 now $299, plus one year of unlimited data for $180 at Mint Mobile
This isn't a new promotion but Mint Mobile's current deal on the Google Pixel 9 is easily my favorite prepaid option in the build-up to Black Friday. Right now the carrier is giving new customers a massive $500 price cut on this awesome flagship device as well as one full year of unlimited data for just $15/mo. That's the cheapest possible price you can get for the unlimited plan at Mint Mobile so I highly recommend checking this one out if you're looking for a cost-effective plan and phone combo.

As one of the better prepaid carriers on the market right now, this is a great opportunity to try out Mint Mobile and break away from those extremely pricey post-paid unlimited plans at the major carriers.

There are a few other deals available at the carrier right now - such as a second line free for three months when you switch from AT&T or Verizon - but this deal on the Pixel 9 is a real standout in my books.

Technically, the device is unlocked after 12 months here so you're not locked into Mint in the long term if you'd like to switch up your plan down the line. Again, this pales in comparison to the two to three-year unlimited data plans at other carriers so that's another major selling point of this particular deal.

Other great Black Friday phone deals to consider

Looking for an amazing deal on an amazing device? Today's Black Friday deal on the stunning Galaxy S24 Ultra at the official Samsung Store offers the best deal of the entire year. Right now, you can get a free storage upgrade to the 512GB model as well as a trade-in rebate of up to $800 off. If you're not eligible for the trade-in, then you can instead get a massive $350 discount - bringing this one down to its lowest ever upfront price.

Apple iPhone 16 Pro: free with a new unlimited line, plus free iPad and Apple Watch at Verizon
My favorite iPhone deal in the build-up to Black Friday is Verizon's current promo on the iPhone 16 Pro. The carrier has just bumped up its promotion on this awesome device to offer not just a free phone, but also a free iPad and Apple Watch. Note, you will need a new line on an Ultimate unlimited plan here and these accessories also need their own cellular lines ($15/mo total extra) if you're going to claim them. Still, this is an amazing promotion overall if you're looking to upgrade and want a high-end device to go alongside a high-end postpaid unlimited plan. Note that this deal is also available on the standard iPhone 16 if you want a smaller device.
