Google’s Black Friday sale has kicked off with sizable discounts on Pixel phones, wearables, earbuds, tablets, smart home gear, and more.

You’ll notice the base 128GB Pixel 9 is down to $649 ($150 off) at Google and Best Buy, for example. But some colors of the flagship Tensor G4 smartphone are actually even cheaper in Amazon’s Black Friday sale right now, with its porcelain and peony pink models going for $548.98 there. That’s beating the all-time low by a significant margin of about $49.

The Pixel 9 Pro and Pixel 9 Pro XL — which have larger screens, bigger batteries, more cameras, and more RAM compared to the Pixel 9 — are also $150 off at Google, starting at $849 and $949 for their base 128GB configuration. Again, you’d probably rather grab get the Pixel 9 Pro from Amazon and Best Buy, where you can find the Pixel 9 Pro for starting at an all-time low $799 ($200 off) or the Pixel 9 Pro XL at Amazon for $934.13.

The Pixel 9 Pro Fold, meanwhile, is $300 off and matching its record low at Amazon, Best Buy, and Google. That doesn’t make the resulting $1,499 price for the starting 256GB model any less harsh, but it helps if your heart is set on foldables.

The Google Pixel Tablet on its own is down to a new all-time low price of $279 ($120 off) at Amazon, Best Buy, and Google for a 128GB model, or $359 for 256GB at Amazon, Best Buy, and Google. You can also get the 256GB model bundled with a speaker dock for $459 ($140 off) at Amazon, Best Buy, and Google. While we think it could use a bit more versatility as a portable home hub of sorts, it’s hard to find a better Android tablet at this price.

If it’s a smartwatch you’re after, we think the Pixel Watch 3 is the first one in its line that fully embodies what the flagship wearable should be, and Bluetooth / Wi-Fi models are matching the all-time low as much as $70 off. That brings the 41mm size down to $279.99 at Amazon, Best Buy, and Google, while the bigger 45mm version drops to $329.99 at Amazon and Google.

The LTE version is $100 off, bringing the connected 41mm watch down to $349.99 at Amazon, Best Buy, and Google. The same discount applies to the 45mm LTE model ($399.99 at Amazon, Best Buy, and Google), though Amazon is currently beating the record price specifically on the matte black version with an obsidian band, down to $379.97 right now (about $120 off).

Need a solid pair of earbuds? The Pixel Buds Pro 2 are matching their all-time low at $179 ($50 off) at Amazon, Best Buy, and Google.
