Okay, so it seems pretty likely that Google's Pixel 10 series will be unveiled next month on August 20, but forget about that for a minute — The Good Guys has drastically reduced the price of last year's Google Pixel 9 Pro XL, making it a far better buy for those looking to keep costs down.

Right now, The Good Guys has the 128GB model of Google's current flagship in the Obsidian (Black) listed at AU$922, which is already an amazing price when you consider the phone's AU$1,849 RRP. It's also in-line with what most other Aussie retailers are selling it for as they attempt to clear out old stock before the Pixel 10's arrival.

However, a quick press of the 'Price Beat' button on The Good Guys website will bring that price down even further to an all-time low of just AU$888 — that's almost a thousand bucks off! Talk about an unbeatable price!

In our review of the Pixel 9 Pro XL, we raved about the phone's extremely bright display, clever AI features and exceptional battery life, but bemoaned the handset's higher price point and minimal camera upgrades.

Well, this deal takes care of that first complaint, and given that the upcoming Pixel 10 Pro XL is tipped to sport a near-identical camera system to its predecessor (outside of a slightly better selfie camera), we think that second bugbear isn't anything to worry about, either.

If there's one concern we have about this deal, it's that 128GB of storage simply doesn't go as far as it used to these days. Still, if you're willing to overlook that, this is an outstanding offer on one of the best Android phones in Australia.
