Pixel 8 and 8 Pro deals
Released in late 2023, the Pixel 8 and 8 Pro are the latest phones in Google's flagship lineup. They're equipped with a next-gen Tensor G3 processor, new AI features and improved screens. You have a few ways to buy one for less right now.
Amazon is currently selling all available colords of the 128GB Google Pixel 8 for $549, down from $699. You can save on the 256GB Pixel 8 in all colors as well. It's only $609, down from $759. That's a discount of $140. You can also save up to an additional $260 with Amazon's trade-in program.
Google is offering discounts on Pixel 8 phones until June 22. The base-spec Pixel 8 is available from $549, a $150 saving, while the Pixel 8 Pro currently starts at $749 -- $250 off its usual price.
You can save even more by trading in your old phone. Google will give you up to $500 off depending on the device you hand in and its condition. Plus, you could get as much as $550 back in the form of bill credits if you switch to Google Fi.
AT&T is offering savings on Pixel phones purchased on an installment plan. Score the Google Pixel 8 Pro for $0 a month by trading in an eligible device with a trade-in value of up to $1,040. You must also switch to an eligible unlimited data plan.

The Pixel 8 256GB will get you a credit of $444 and still costs $11 a month. AT&T is also throwing in a free Pixel Watch 2 with any Pixel 8 series phone, as long as you also open a qualifying line.
When you add a new line at Verizon on any 5G Unlimited plan, you can get the Pixel 8 for free. Alternatively, you can save up to $800 with a trade-in if you're an existing customer who qualifies for an upgrade.

If you're on a different qualifying service plan, you can still save up to $600 with a trade-in. This discount is applied as bill credits over 24 months. Note that the Pixel 8 Pros are out of stock at the moment, but you could save big if you're willing to wait a bit.

The Pixel 8A is brand-new -- we literally just reviewed it -- and at its unlocked list price of $500 it's a tremendous value. Let's see if we can make it even better.
AT&T is now offering new and existing customers the Google Pixel 8A for just $3 per month or for a one-time payment of $520.

Google is offering the Pixel 8A for free when you switch to Google Fi. The $499 discount is available in the form of bill credits over a period of 24 months.
Pixel 7 and 7 Pro deals
The previous-gen Pixel 7 and 7 Pro hit shelves in October 2022, and you'll find them in stock and available at most major retailers and carriers. Whether you're looking for an unlocked model, have an older device to trade in or need a new service plan through a carrier, several offers are available to you.
There are no direct discounts on the Google Pixel 7 or 7 Pro through Google right now, but you can trade in your old phone from Google, Apple, Samsung and other brands for up to $450 off (with the latest iPhones netting you the biggest discount).
AT&T isn't offering comprehensive deals on the Pixel 7 right now, but if you're looking to trade in your old Apple, Samsung or Google phone, you can save up to $465. Newer models (especially iPhones) earn the highest trade-in value. Right now, AT&T isn't carrying the 7 Pro. If you buy any connected device you can save $100 on Ray Ban Meta glasses with a qualifying plan.
Amazon has some bigger discounts on the Pixel 7 right now, with some variations up to $200 off the list price. Keep in mind the deals vary a lot based on the color and storage configurations, so be sure to check all the options to zero in on the version you want. Right now, the Pixel 7 128GB is marked down to $399. The 256GB version is marked down at $450, which saves you $250. You can save up to an additional $260 with a qualifying trade-in device.
The Pixel 7 Pro is a little harder to find, but we've spotted a deal on Amazon for the 7 Pro 128GB version for $449 in snow or hazel (a 50% discount) and for $429 in obsidian (a 52% discount). Currently, the 256GB version in hazel or obsidian is on sale for $479 (a discount of 52%), and the snow version costs $468 (a 53% discount). You can also get a more modest 10% discount on the 512GB models. As always with Amazon, grab the deal while you can because prices and stock can fluctuate.
Although Verizon is no longer carrying the Pixel 7 Pro, the Pixel 7 is still available. Though there are no direct discounts, Verizon occasionally offers perks to go along with new phone purchases. These deals fluctuate so check back often. For now, new and existing customers can get 0% APR on a new Pixel 7.
Mint is having a limited-time offer where if you buy six months of service you get six months for free. Both phones are in stock but available only in a locked model.
Pixel 7A deals
CNET's Lisa Eadicicco reviewed the budget-friendly Pixel 7A and found it has many of the same features as the Pixel 7, saying that "it has the same Tensor G2 processor as the Pixel 7, a new 64-megapixel main camera and a 6.1-inch screen just like its predecessor." It's available at a lower base price than the other models in the Pixel 7 lineup, but unless you can find it for significantly less than the 8A (or a great deal with your carrier), go for the newer phone.
Best Buy isn't currently offering discounts on the Google Pixel 7A, but you can trade in a device to save a good amount off the standard price. While technically you can get up to $755, with iPhones netting you the most back, your trade-in amount can't exceed the value of the Pixel 7A, so you'll have to see how much your trade-in would be worth. You can also save if you buy open-box phones, but availability varies by location.
The purchase also comes with one free month of Xbox Game Pass Ultimate, three free months of Google One and three free months of YouTube Premium (for new subscribers).
AT&T doesn't have a discount on the Pixel 7A right now, but you can potentially get trade-in credit. You can also get the Google Pixel Buds for 50% off with the purchase of this phone. AT&T is also offering $100 a pair of Ray Ban Meta glasses with a qualifying line.
You can trade in a qualifying device and get an instant savings of $100 if you purchase and activate a new 7A.
Verizon is offering a discount of $150 on the Pixel 7A with an Unlimited Welcome, Unlimited Plus or Unlimited Ultimate plan. However, you can get up to $400 off the Google Pixel Watch 2 with your phone purchase, or up to $550 off a Galaxy Tab S9 FE 5G.
Target isn't offering any discounts on the Pixel 7A. However, Target Circle card holders can save 5%.
Pixel Fold deals
Samsung's new generation of Z-series foldable phones has some competition from Google. The Pixel Fold is Google's very first foldable device and features a 5.8-inch cover screen, a 7.6-inch OLED internal screen, 12GB of RAM, a Tensor G2 processor and an intimidating $1,799 starting price, although you can get your hands on one for less with the trade-in offers below.
Google is offering the Pixel Fold at a steep $500 discount right now. This deal lasts until June 22 and applies to all color and model configurations. Plus, you can save up to $435 with trade-in credit for an eligible device.
AT&T is offering up to $1,124 in bill credits with a trade-in, the purchase of the new phone and a qualifying plan.

AT&T is also offering Google Pixel Buds at 50% off when you buy a new Google phone. You can also save $100 on a pair of Ray-Ban Meta glasses when you purchase a qualifying plan for this device.
Both new and existing Verizon customers can save on the Pixel Fold right now. If you're adding a new line of service and you have an eligible trade-in, you can save up to $800. If you're already a Verizon customer who qualifies for an upgrade, you can save up to $800 when you trade in an eligible device. If you open up a new qualifying line, you could get $899 off.
Verizon is also offering some other bonuses, including $400 off a Pixel Watch 2 in the form of bill credits, but you'll need a new line of service for the smartwatch as well. You can also get an Amazon Fire TV 65-inch Omni Series 4K with purchase, valid until July 3.
Get an instant savings of $100 when you get the Pixel Fold, activate it and trade in a qualifying device.
Pixel 6A deals
CNET's Lisa Eadicicco originally called Google's affordable Pixel 6A the "best Android phone under $500." It's slightly smaller than the Pixel 7, with a 6.1-inch OLED display with a refresh rate of 60Hz. It's equipped with 128GB of storage and 6GB of RAM, plus 5G capabilities and support for Wi-Fi 6 for fast browsing. After the release of the Pixel 7A, Google dropped the starting price by $100, so it was already a solid value at $349.
Right now, after the release of the Pixel 8A, discounts are few and far between, and the phone is largely out of stock. Still, we've collected the best deals we can find below.
Amazon is offering some modest discounts on unlocked Pixel 6A models. Depending on the color you choose, you can save up to $55. You can save up to $260 more with an eligible trade-in, which nets you the phone for almost free.
Verizon is offering the Google Pixel 6A for the standard retail price, but you can get some trade-in credit. Plus, you can get up to $400 back in the form of bill credits if you want to add a Google Pixel Watch 2. You can also score $550 off a Galaxy Tab S9 FE 5G. If you want these discounts, you'll need to get a line and qualifying plan for these devices.
Pixel 6 and Pixel 6 Pro deals
The Pixel 6 is over two years old, so new models are scarcer than before. If you're committed to snagging one of these older flagship phones, Amazon still has a few available that you can pick up for hundreds less than the original price. Google no longer carries the Pixel 6, and most retailers and carriers have shifted their offers over to the newer Pixel 7 or Pixel 8 models, so deals are more limited.
Amazon still has some previous-gen Pixel 6 phones that you can pick up. Prices are extremely volatile and stocks are low, but there's potential for some big savings. Right now, a 128GB Pixel 6 Pro is listed at $395 if you buy it in cloudy white. That's a discount of $504 and more than half off the original asking price.
The 6 and 6 Pro are only sporadically available at Verizon. However, if you do find one near you, you might qualify for up to $400 in cash back on a Google Pixel Watch 2 in the form of bill credits with the purchase of a Google Pixel 6 or 6 Pro. You can also score up to $550 off a Galaxy Tab S9 FE 5G. Just note that to snag these accessory deals, you'll need to purchase a separate line.
The 6 Pro is out of stock right now, but you can still score these deals with the Pixel 6.
