The 2025 academic year is on the horizon, coinciding with the arrival of the next-generation Google Pixel lineup. Consequently, it’s not unexpected to witness promotions on Pixel phones, including a $200 discount on the Google Pixel 9 Pro during Best Buy’s Back-to-School event.
Although the Pixel 9 Pro XL remains our top choice for Android phones for parents, the 9 Pro boasts very similar specifications and provides significant enhancements over the entry-level Pixel 9. If you’re in search of the newest generation option, it may be wise to hold out for the upcoming Pixel 10 series launch.
