You can use the filters to sort out plans based on the model you're after, whether it's the Pixel 9, Pixel 9 Pro XL or Pixel 9 Pro Fold.
Prices for the Pixel 9 line-up start at:
Google unveiled the Pixel 9 series on 14 August 2024 with pre-orders for most models kicking off the same day.
The Pixel 9 and Pixel 9 Pro XL have gone on sale officially as of 22 August.
The Pixel 9 Pro Fold is still available to pre-order and will go on sale from 4 September.
Lastly, the Pixel 9 Pro isn't available to pre-order. It'll go on sale directly from 4 September.
Optus is keeping it simple with a $600 discount on the Pixel 9 and $800 on the Pixel 9 Pro XL and Pixel 9 Pro Fold.
You will need to sign up to a 24 or 36-month handset repayment plan by 3 September 2024 to take advantage of any of the offers.
Signing up to an Optus plan will also give you access to:
Vodafone's knocking off $200 of the Pixel 9 Pro Fold and offering a trade-in bonus of $700 if you sign up by 3 September.
It's also offering a price-beat guarantee on all available Pixel 9 devices, matching Optus and Telstra's prices and adding an extra $10 for good measure.
The only caveat is it's a bit of a waiting game.
Here's how the price-beat guarantee works: order a new phone from Vodafone and submit a claim within 5 days of your purchase.
You'll need to provide contact details and proof of the competitor's lower advertised price within the claim form.
On a Vodafone plan, you'll also get:
Telstra's discounting the Pixel 9 and Pixel 9 Pro XL by $750 if you buy either of the phones on a plan by 9 September.
Or, you can get an $800 discount by pre-ordering the Pixel 9 Pro Fold.
With a Telstra mobile plan, you'll get:
We've got a fair bit of phone testing ahead before we can give a definitive answer. And at the end of the day, it really depends on your budget and whether you want to take advantage of any of the offers.
But from our first impressions, it seems like it'll be a hit with folks who love top-notch cameras and appreciate the revamped iconic sculpted camera bar, and a range of AI-powered features.
Perhaps you really want a foldable that's not super bulky? Google's definitely trying to deliver on this by keeping it as thin as possible and bringing the Pixel 9 Pro Fold to Australia.
We've unpacked everything we know about the Pixel 9 range in our guide so grab a cuppa and deep dive to see if any of the models are worth buying before you sign up to a plan
