Google Pixel 9 Pro hits low prices as hundreds cut off the cost
Despite being nearly a year old the Google Pixel 9 devices are still a great buy, with some real savings to be made on Google's excellent camera phone. The Pixel 9 and the Pixel 9 Pro are both down to their lowest prices, with savings of up to £400 up for grabs.
The Pixel 9 family of phones launched in August 2024 and are much lauded for their design, the bright display and powerful camera, while also being the first phones to run Android 16, the latest software from Google.
If you're looking to get yourself the Pixel 9 Pro on contract, GiffGaff has slashed £400 off the price. That's for the 128GB model with £20 up front and then monthly payments as low as £18.31 for the handset.
With giffgaff, you get to choose whether you pay over 12, 24 or 36 months, so you can pick a payment plan that works for you. Then you choose the data plan, which starts at £10 a month for 25GB data. That can see your payments come out at £28.31 a month, for Google's flagship phone.
Note that under this deal, the phone payments are spread over 36-months, while the data plan is 18-months, so you'd be free to choose a new deal on the data after that.
The same deal at Sky Mobile - for the 128GB Pixel 9 Pro with 25GB data - would cost £45 a month, with £12 upfront, so GiffGaff is definitely on to something.
Alternatively, Mobiles.co.uk is offering the Pixel 9 Pro 128GB with 100GB data on ID Mobile for £29.99 a month with £9 upfront on a 24-month contract. Again, it's a great deal.
The Pixel 9 Pro is powered by the Tensor G4 processor and benefits from 7 years of software support from Google, meaning that the phone will have all the latest updates through the length of your contract. That's going to include the anticipated update to Material 3 Expressive - Google's new design language - within the coming months.
This is a phone that's been built around Google's AI - Gemini - offering a slick and fast experience. But it's the camera that really shines, with a 5x optical zoom lens that really gets you close to the detail. Day or night, the camera produces great photos and if you're not happy, you can edit them with the assistance of AI using Google Photos.
You don't just have to buy the Pixel 9 Pro on contract, you can buy the handset SIM-free too - and then take advantage of some great discounted SIM-only deals that are out there.
Fortunately, the Pixel 9 and Pixel 9 Pro are down to their lowest price ever, with Amazon knocking £250 off the price of the Pixel 9 and a huge £320 off the Pixel 9 Pro. These prices are the lowest that Google has sold these phones for, with those Prime Day prices continuing.
There's no telling how long these deals will last for, with Amazon labelling them as "limited", but Google is running its own sale online which ends on 5 August, while GiffGaff says that its deals run until 10 August.
Why might this sale be happening? Because Google is preparing to launch the Pixel 10 family of phones on 20 August according to the Daily Express. A downside being, that the Pixel 9 device will be considered 'outdated in a few weeks time'.
However, according to the leaks, it's not expected that there will be huge changes. The design is expected to stay the same as the Google Pixel 9, as are the cameras on the Pixel 10 Pro, while the entry-level Pixel 10 is expected to get an additional zoom camera.
Apart from that, they will move to the Tensor G5 hardware, but otherwise expected to have the same display and battery.
Unless you really need the latest phone, getting yourself a discounted Pixel 9 Pro could save you money and get you a great phone at the same time.

Amazon shoppers ‘beyond impressed' as ‘crystal-clear' portable projector gets slashed from £130 to £45
KEEN to bring the big-screen experience home this summer? Head to Amazon. The online retailer has knocked down the price of a budget-friendly, portable projector by 65% – and it's got shoppers raving. Do enough digging through Amazon's deals pages, and you'll find sky-high savings on all sorts of tech, from portable power banks to over-ear headphones. This portable home projector is from a brand we in the Shopping team haven't come across before, and haven't tested ourselves. But it's racked up over 250 five-star reviews on Amazon, with buyers buzzing about its auto-focus and keystone adjustment features, as well as its cracking picture quality. This isn't some top-of-the-range projector that'll blow your socks off with all the bells and whistles - you'll have to spend much more on premium devices that offer 4K picture quality. But if you're after something to watch the odd film, catch the football, or a spot of gaming, it's a solid choice that leaves minimal impact on your wallet. The iWIMIUS Portable Projector is packed with a range of features that are pretty eye-catching, for a device that now costs less than £50. Its auto-focus and keystone correction are clever bits of tech that sort the image out for you, so you don't need to faff about adjusting it manually. It even has smart features to line the picture up perfectly with your screen and dodge obstacles like plug sockets or furniture that might get in the way. The sound's no slouch either - it's got built-in 20W speakers with Dolby Digital support, delivering audio that one customer has described as "clear, balanced, and surprisingly deep.' You can also use its two-way Bluetooth to turn the projector into a standalone speaker or hook it up to soundbars and other devices using HDMI ARC for that proper cinema surround sound. As for the picture, it looks pretty impressive for the price. It gives you Full HD 1080p resolution and can handle 4K content too, with an 800 ANSI brightness that keeps colours vivid and details sharp. Setting it up at home should be a doddle too. The adjustable base lets you tilt it up to 15°, so you can stick it on a coffee table or shelf and still get the right angle. Plus, it's small and smart-looking, so it won't stick out like a sore thumb in your living room or bedroom. It doesn't come with apps like Netflix or Disney+, but you can plug in a TV Stick or similar device to stream your favourite shows and films. Shoppers are loving it, with an overwhelming majority of reviews rating it at five stars. 'An excellent projector for those on a budget!" wrote one customer. "I have to say I wasn't sure what to expect when I ordered this little beauty but I am beyond impressed!' Another said, 'The picture is a lot better than I expected, really sharp and great vibrant colour. "Same for the sound – surprisingly full and loud, again with options to select different sound presets or adjust manually.' A third wrote: 'This projector delivers an amazing home theatre experience with sharp visuals, vibrant colours, and excellent performance. Crystal-clear picture quality.' Amazon's calling this a limited-time deal, so it's unlikely to stay this cheap for long.

One mum took to TikTok to share her simple solution to knowing where her kids were at all times and ensuring their safety no matter where they were or what they were doing. It can be achieved using one simple gadget, which you can currently buy on Amazon for half its usual price. Apple's AirTags became all the rage for their convenience and the security they offered users when it came to protecting their belongings. Commonly used for attaching to electronics, keys, and luggage when traveling, tracker tags actually have another beneficial use that can save a lot of stress and anxiety when you're out with your kids. And these Amazon alternatives offer the same assurance at a fraction of the price of name brands like Apple (£28 per Air Tag) or Samsung (£34 per tag). This 4-piece set of Air Tracker Tags on Amazon would normally sell for £59.99, but it is currently available for half that, at £29.99, while this limited-time deal lasts. These Bluetooth tags can seamlessly be connected to your smart device (though this particular model is only compatible with iOS devices), so you can track your tag from your phone or tablet with ease. If you're looking for an affordable alternative to pair with your Android devices, check out these Air Tags-Android Smart Tags that are on sale for £31.99 down from £49.99 for a pack of four. The finder and location tags are perfect for use in your wallet, luggage, backpack, suitcase, car, and more. Protect lost or stolen stuff and make day-to-day life easier without the stress of losing essential items. You can easily attach these Tukio air tag trackers to everyday things like keys, water bottles, or bags, ensuring you don't have to spend mornings searching before you leave the house, and promising to make them super easy to find if misplaced or lost.

Then you can keep track of and find your items alongside friends and devices in the "Find My" app. Tukio's trackers allow real-time tracking of your items. When within 200 feet, the Bluetooth tracker emits an 80-100dB beep to help you find your things, or you can just ask Siri. For greater distances, leverage the power of the 'Find My' network, and hundreds of millions of Apple devices will help you locate the tracked location. What's even more impressive is that these tags boast up to one year of uninterrupted use, without the need to replace the battery. When the battery is low, the smart tracker tag will notify you to replace it. Plus, the unique cover design prevents children from opening the device and causing damage. With an IP67 rating, item finders withstand immersion in water up to 3 feet for 30 minutes, making them especially useful for outdoor activities. But how does this keep your child safe while out for the day? The TikTok user mentioned above told her followers she'd found a simple and effective way of using Bluetooth trackers like these to keep a real-time, exact account of where her child is, so that if anything were to go wrong, she'd be able to locate her young child in minutes. This user recommended placing the tracker inside your kids' shoes, whether underneath the insole or if the outer sole can be removed, to be able to track them wherever they may wander. Equally, you can place these trackers in pockets, though it isn't advisable to place them in things like coats or jumpers that could be removed at random.

With a colour LED touchscreen, it's easy to switch modes, monitor battery life, and keep on top of maintenance. The floor brush boasts anti-tangle technology, featuring a V-shaped design and comb structure to prevent hair wrapping.

One customer shared: "I've used this wireless vacuum cleaner for a few weeks, and it has worked well. The suction power is good, easily handling dust, hair and debris across different floor types. The battery life is decent, giving me enough runtime to clean my office using about 10-15% of the battery. It has a pretty sturdy build quality - it feels decent and durable. "The lightweight design makes it easy to manoeuvre, the LED lights are great for lighting up darker areas and showing little bits of dust/crumbs etc on the floor, and the attachments are useful for reaching tricky spots. All in all a great value wireless vacuum." However, not everyone was as pleased with the battery life, with an individual stating: "Nice little vacuum cleaner very convenient and good value - we wish it had longer battery life though and I can't find an option to buy a second battery from the shop." While a happier customer added: " Very easy to use and assemble. Lightweight so can be used for my car too which is a massive plus! Love the light on it when turned on. The attachments are handy. Stored in my cupboard easily due to weight and size. Very handy design."
