US price for Pixel 9 Pro and XL leaks w/ storage pre-order upgrade

We already know the European pricing for the Pixel 9 series, but how much the 9 Pro and 9 Pro XL costs in the US might have now leaked.

For starters, the source of this information is curious. Google Search’s product card indexed several T-Mobile listings today for the Pixel 9 Pro and 9 Pro XL. We found one such listing, but it has since been removed:

We see two “Google Pixel 9 Pro” listings at $999.99, while the 256 GB “Google Pixel 9 Pro XL” is $1,199.99. A 512 GB Pixel 9 Pro XL is also listed at $1,199.99.

In Europe, we know that there will be a storage upgrade promo for pre-ordering in addition to 12 months of Gemini Advanced. That looks to be coming to the US as well, with Roland Quandt on X confirming for AT&T.

In the US Google seems to take a page from Samsung’s playbook by selling you a Pixel 9 Pro XL 512GB for the price of a 256GB model. At least that seems to be something AT&T will be doing.

So, the 128 GB Pixel 9 Pro should be $999, but during the pre-order period you can get the 256 GB model for the same price.

On the Pixel 9 Pro XL, it would be $1,199 for the 256GB normally, but that gets you 512 GB if you order early.

Last year, the price difference from 128 to 256 GB of storage was $60, while 256 to 512 GB was $120. Google looks to going to $100 for the Pixel 9 series, and that could put the 128 GB Pixel 9 Pro XL at $1,099, or a $100 price increase compared to the comparable 128GB Pixel 8 Pro today.
