Why You Can Trust CNET Best Pixel 8 and Pixel 8 Pro Deals: Save $450 Off the Regular Price or Up to $1,000 off with Trade-In
If you've waited to get the Pixel 8 or Pixel 8 Pro, now may be the best time to get one for less.
If you're already locked into the Google Suite, Google's phones can certainly make life easier. The seamless integration into Gmail, Drive and Calendar is just one of the perks of these powerful phones, and the latest models are already making our list of the best Android phones of 2024. If you want the best you can get, the Pixel 8 and Pixel 8 Pro are the latest generation of Pixel phones, and they're among the best flagships on the market. That does mean they're expensive, but you can still find quite a few deals, both in direct discounts and trade-in offers.
In addition to impressive new AI and camera features, other notable upgrades include Google's new Tensor G3 processor, which powers both models and brighter screens on both phones. The smaller Pixel 8 is also getting a higher 120Hz refresh rate display, up from 90Hz in the previous-gen model and the Pixel 8 Pro gains a neat new temperature sensor.
Note that in our ongoing review of the Pixel 8 Pro, CNET uncovered some problems with its cameras that we felt were serious enough to warrant holding off on recommending you buy it. Google says it's working to quickly solve these issues via a software update and we're confident that it will. We had no such problems with the Pixel 8 and rated it very highly.
We've gathered up all of the best Pixel 8 and Pixel 8 Pro pro deals available right now below, and we'll continue to update this page as more offers pop up, so be sure to check back often.
The Pixel 8 comes in three colors: rose (pink), hazel (gray) and obsidian (black). The larger Pixel 8 Pro is available in bay (sky blue), porcelain and obsidian.
