BALANCE BY WINNING A SHARE OF £2,000! With Android 16 set to be rolled out to Google Pixel smartphones in June, some mobile providers have made the move to drop the prices of several models

so users can experience the latest upgrade in Android software for a bargain price. One key brand in this move is Sky Mobile, who have placed several phones in the Google Pixel 9 series on

special deals. They have even said "our lowest price is back" as they drop the price of the original Pixel 9 down to £24 a month. On top of this, the provider is giving new

customers six months of Google One Premium 2 TB plan and Fitbit premium, as well as three months of YouTube Premium. However, the fine print is that customers will need to enter a 36-month

contract with Sky. Google Pixel 9 £24 per month Sky Buy Now Getting the best of Google AI first, the Pixel 9 allows users to take amazing photos that can be made better with advanced AI

photo editing. Also featuring Ask Gemini, the Pixel 9 is said to be super smooth to hold and is brighter than ever with its 6.3-inch Actua display. This price will also boost a bit more once

shoppers have added a data plan on top, which ranges from £0 for 100MB to £20 for unlimited - now making the package £44 per month if shoppers want access to endless data. It should also be

noted that this is not the cheapest way long term to buy the Pixel 9 smartphone, as Amazon has cut the full price of the phone down to £561.96 from a whopping £799 - saving shoppers over

£230. In comparison to Sky's basic monthly deal without the added data, Amazon's current deal works out to be £302 cheaper over the lifespan of the plan. Sky is also holding other

deals in the Pixel 9 series, including dropping the Pixel 9 Pro to £27 per month and the Pixel 9 Pro XL to a monthly cost of £34. However, the best deal is on the newest addition to the

series - the Pixel 9a - which is priced at only £18 a month. The Pixel 9a was designed to be the more budget friendly version of the standard Pixel 9, and was described by deputy tech editor

Henry Burrell as the "best A-series phone yet". However, for those who are interested in Pixel 9, it currently boasts a 4.4 star rating on Amazon, with one shopper dubbing it as

"virtually flawless". One happy shopper said: "The picture quality is top shelf, quality is perfect, functionality is fluid, it meets the value for money, possesses lightning

speed and size is portable." Another added: "Incredible AI tech, especially in the photo editing department. Tensor 4 chip is more than snappy enough and along with 12gb RAM and

120hz display keeps everything buttery smooth. Guaranteed SEVEN years of OS and security updates. Plus it looks gorgeous and feels super premium in the hand. Google's best Pixel phone

to date. What's not to like?" However, another shopper wasn't as impressed, as they wrote: "Battery life [is] good, size is all right but the bezels are quite big. It’s a

decent price but one issue is the Bluetooth keeps reconnecting randomly which is frustrating as someone that uses Bluetooth earphones all the time." Despite this, a third five-star

reviewer detailed: "This phone has been virtually flawless. It has a solid construction similar to an iPhone and a clean clutter free OS with no bloatware. "This is a lot of phone

for your money, even sporting a 120mhz display. One plus is having both a fingerprint scanner and a Face ID equivalent. It does have a plastic back, but it feels premium, and a lot of phone

for the money." A further shopper also praised: "The perfect size at 6.3” and all the benefits of Pixel in a cheaper package. Great display, bigger battery, good cameras, smooth

and responsive." Article continues below For those wanting to snap up Sky Mobile's deal on the Pixel 9, click HERE. JOIN THE DAILY RECORD WHATSAPP COMMUNITY! Get the latest news
