Last year's Pixel 9 is 9 thousand cheaper than its original price! It has top-notch cameras, a clean system, and a beautiful display

During Black Friday sales, Google Pixel 9 (128 GB) appeared on Alza for 13,990 CZK. A year ago, it started at 22,990 CZK. At a time when the Pixel 10 series is already on the market, but the base model still costs 18,990 CZK, the sale price of the “nine” makes excellent sense – especially if you’re looking for a top-notch camera and a clean Android with long-term support.

Why the Pixel 9 for 13,990 CZK makes sense right now

The Pixel 9 is still a very current flagship experience: top-notch photos, fast updates, and Google AI features. The base Pixel 10 does add a telephoto lens, but with a small sensor (long reach, but not great quality in low light), and at the same time, Google used a smaller main sensor for the ten than for the Pixel 9. If you don’t explicitly need a telephoto lens, the “nine” will be more advantageous.

Key parameters at a glance

• Display: 6.3″ OLED, 120 Hz, HDR10+, up to 2,700 nits (peak), Gorilla Glass Victus 2
• Performance and endurance: Tensor G4, 12 GB RAM, 4,700 mAh battery
• Cameras: main 50 Mpx (1/1.31″) with OIS + 48 Mpx ultrawide; 10.5 Mpx selfie
• Video: up to 4K/60 fps, 10-bit HDR, OIS+EIS stabilization
• Other: Android with long-term support, IP68, stereo speakers, UWB/5G, in-display fingerprint reader

Pixel 10 vs Pixel 9: what has (not) changed

• Telephoto lens on Pixel 10: new in the base model, but with a small sensor – good reach, average in worse lighting conditions.
• Main camera: Pixel 9 has a larger 50 Mpx 1/1.31″, while Pixel 10 uses a 48 Mpx 1/2.0″ (the same module as the 9a) – in practice, better light gathering plays in favor of the nine.
• Performance and support: The Tensor G5 in Pixel 10 is newer and more efficient, but in everyday use and photography, the difference doesn’t feel revolutionary.
• Price: Pixel 10 currently around 18,990 CZK, Pixel 9 on sale 13,990 CZK – a difference of ~5,000 CZK.

Conclusion: the best Pixel under 14 thousand

For 13,990 CZK, this is a very strong offer with the assurance of official CZ distribution. If you don’t insist on a telephoto lens and want a larger main sensor and a clean Android with long-term support, the Pixel 9 is a clear choice in the Black Friday sale.

Would you take the more advantageous Pixel 9 now, or would you pay extra for the Pixel 10 for the telephoto lens?
