Get a Google Pixel 9 phone and unlimited everything for under $500 when you sign up for Mint Mobile

The holly and jolly seasonal savings are here, so don’t worry if you missed out on last month’s Black Friday savings. There’s plenty more holiday cheer to go around, and with it, tons of winter savings on top tech, including smartphones and mobile plans.

Right now, Mint Mobile has one of the most spirited holiday offers I’ve seen thus far. New Mint Mobile customers can score a 128GB Google Pixel 9 for $500 off with an Unlimited Plan, which includes as much talk, text, and data as you’d like, for only $15 a month. That means you get a new Pixel 9 phone and accompanying plan for only $479, bringing your total savings to $680. If you need a reference for how great a deal this is, consider that the Pixel 9 usually sells for $799, and is only on sale for $649 (save $150) at retailers like Best Buy, Google, and more. 

This Mint Mobile bundle offer is saving you over four times more. 

Google’s Pixel 9 lineup was released back in August, only a few weeks ahead of Apple’s iPhone 16 lineup. And while the Pixel 9 Pro model scooped up a lot of the attention before, during, and after the 2024 Made by Google event, ZDNET reviewer Max Buondonno says the base model Pixel 9 is where it’s at: “Google’s Pixel 9 boosts a modernized design, gorgeous camera, and compelling AI features for every type of user,” he says in his review.

The Google Pixel 9 is the smallest, standard Google phone this year. It features a 6.3-inch Actua display, 12GB of RAM, a 10.5MP front camera, and only two rear cameras (50MP wide and 48MP ultrawide). Pricing typically starts at $799, and the handset is available in Obsidian (black), Porcelain (white), Wintergreen (mint green), and Peony (baby pink). Right now, Mint Mobile only has the Obsidian in stock. 

Buondonno says the Pixel 9 is the perfect sub-$800 buy if you’re in the market, and this Mint Mobile deal makes nabbing a Pixel 9 almost irresistible. “Sure, the Samsung Galaxy S24 is a tough competitor, but I actually think this is the better buy. It gives you access to some useful new AI features, and you get all the perks of the Pixel experience, like excellent software, display quality, and cameras,” he wrote.
