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.
Just 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.
Google is offering a few different ways to save on its latest Pixel phones right now, including some straightforward discounts on both models. You can save $150 on the unlocked Pixel 8 or $200 on the unlocked Pixel 8 Pro, with no trade-in or service plan required.
New customers joining the Google Fi Unlimited plan can save $700 on either model, scoring you the basic 128GB Pixel 8 for free. New customers adding a line of service on a different qualifying plan will still save $350 on the Pixel 8, or $500 on the Pixel 8 Pro.
While it's not required to get this deal, Google does have its trade-in program where you can save up to $750 in exchange for your old phone.
Like other retailers, Amazon is currently offering $150 off the Pixel 8 and $200 off the Pixel 8 Pro, which drops the starting prices down to $549 and $799 respectively. You can also save up to $401 with an eligible trade-in.
AT&T is offering some serious savings on Pixel phones when purchased on an installment plan. You can snag the basic Pixel 8 for just $10 per month, or the Pixel 8 Pro for just $15 per month as long as you have or switch to an eligible unlimited plan. The savings are applied as bill credits over 36-months and if you cancel service before then, you'll have to pay the remaining balance out of pocket
Plus, you can snag a Pixel Watch 2 for free with the purchase but will need to have a qualifying service plan for the smartwatch as well.
Those adding a new line at Verizon can save up to $800 on the Pixel 8 or up to $1,000 on the Pixel 8 Pro with an eligible trade-in, which scores you both models for free. Alternatively, you can save up to $800 with just a trade-in if you're an existing customer who qualifies for an upgrade. Those who port their existing number over from another carrier will also get a free $200 Verizon gift card.
Verizon is also offering $400 off a Google Pixel Watch 2 with the purchase, but note that you'll need a new line of service to get the discount. You can buy one phone and save $800 off another.
T-Mobile customers on a Go5G Plus or Go5G Next plan can get either model for free with an eligible trade-in or a new line of service. If you're on a different qualifying service plan, you can still save up to $500 with a trade-in or $700 with a new line. This discount is applied as bill credits over 24 months.
Pixel 7 and 7 Pro deals
The previous-gen Pixel 7 and 7 Pro hit shelves back in October 2022, so 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, there are plenty of offers to be had.
There are a few benefits that come with buying your Pixel 7 directly from Google. For one, all models and colors are currently in stock, so you don't have to compromise your ideal configuration. Plus, Google lets you buy your phone outright, as opposed to on an installment plan, which some retailers and carriers require.
There aren't any straightforward on the basic Pixel 7, but Google has knocked $250 off the Pixel 7 Pro, which brings the starting price down to $649. Plus, you can trade in your old phone from Google, Apple, Samsung and other brands for up to $580 off (with the latest iPhones netting you the biggest discount).
AT&T isn't offering comprehensive deals on the Pixel 7 or 7 Pro right now, but if you're looking to trade in your old Apple, Samsung or Google phone, you can save up to $600. Newer models (especially iPhones) earn the highest trade-in value.
Best Buy has knocked $100 off the Pixel 7 and $270 off the Pixel 7 Pro, with no trade-in or service plan required. Plus, the tech retailer has its own trade-in program where you can save up to $485. Verizon customers will get an extra $100 off the Pixel 7.
If you're after the basic Pixel 7, you can save $50 on the 128GB model or $100 on the 256GB model at Amazon, but note that it only has the snow variant available. The Pixel 7 Pro is only available in used condition.
Like Google, Target isn't offering any savings on the basic Pixel 7, but it has knocked $250 off the Pixel 7 Pro. If you use your Target Red Card, you can save an additional 5%.
Although Verizon isn't offering any straightforward discounts on the Pixel 7 or 7 Pro right now, the company is offering savings if you combine the purchase with a Google Pixel Watch 2. Doing this awards you $400 in promotional credits, but you're required to add a line for the watch. Plus, Verizon is offering a free $200 gift card for new customers who switch their existing number over from another carrier. It's also worth noting that right now, Verizon has limited stock on most configurations.
Pixel 7A deals
The Pixel 7 (left) and Pixel 7A.
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 price than the other models in the Pixel 7 lineup and there are consistently great deals on the 7A out there, including three all-time low prices offered at Google, Amazon and Best Buy.
Google has all configurations of the Pixel 7A available, including the exclusive coral color variant. There aren't any discounts at the moment, but you can trade in your old phone for up to $580 off; that means you could snag the 7A for free, depending on your trade-in value.
Best Buy accepts phones from Apple, Google, Samsung and tons of other brands for trade-in. The latest iPhones will net you the biggest discount, but note that your trade-in can't exceed the value of the Pixel 7A. The purchase also comes with one free month of Xbox Game Pass Ultimate and three free months of YouTube Premium (for new subscribers).
Amazon is offering up to $401 off the Pixel 7A with an eligible trade-in, which drops the starting price down to just $98. Phones from Apple, Google, Samsung, Motorola and LG are accepted.
Although the retail price for the Pixel 7A at AT&T is slightly higher than purchasing through Google (Google price is $500, AT&T price is $519 out the door), the savings here are when you agree to a monthly installment plan. The price is dropped to just $5 per month, paid over three years, leaving you with a $340 savings in the form of bill credits over the 36 months.
Target isn't offering any discounts and doesn't have a trade-in program, but you can save 5% when you make the purchase using your Target RedCard.
T-Mobile is offering a few ways to get your hands on the Pixel 7A for free right now. You can get one free with a new line on a qualifying service plan, or with an eligible trade-in as long as you have or switch to a Go5G Plus plan.
Although Mint Mobile doesn't offer the most dramatic of discounts right now, you can still get the Pixel 7A at the regular price of $499. If you're a fan of Mint Mobile, you'll find you can get six months of free wireless with the purchase of the Pixel 7A. Right now, only the charcoal color is available.
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, 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 an enticing $350 off the Pixel Fold right now, and you can save up to $580 with an eligible trade-in. The latest iPhones will net you the biggest discount, although Google also accepts phones from Samsung, LG, Motorola and others.
You can snag the Pixel Fold for just $25 per month at AT&T when you purchase it on an installment plan, as long as you have or switch to an eligible unlimited plan. That saves you $980 in bill credits over 36 months. While it's not required to get this discount, AT&T does have its own trade-in program where you can save even more in exchange for your old phone.
Both new and existing Verizon customers can save on the Pixel Fold right now. If you're adding a new line of service or if you're already a Verizon customer who qualifies for an upgrade, you can save up to $1,000 when you trade in an eligible device. If you need more than one Pixel Fold, you can purchase one and save $800 off a second.
Verizon is also offering some other bonuses, including $400 off a Pixel Watch 2, but you'll need a new line of service for the smartwatch as well. New customers who switch their existing number over from another carrier will get a free $200 Verizon gift card.
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 full-size Pixel 7 and features a 6.1-inch OLED display with a refresh rate of 60Hz. It's equipped with 128GB of storage and 6GB of RAM, which is slightly less than the standard Pixel 7 has but is still more than sufficient for most people's needs. It also boasts 5G capabilities and support for Wi-Fi 6 for lightning-fast browsing. After the release of the Pixel 7A, Google dropped the starting price of this earlier model by $100, so it's already a solid value at just $349. We've rounded up some of the best deals and offers out there so you can pick one up for even less.
The starting price is $349 and right now Google isn't offering any straightforward discount on top of that. But if you have an old device from Apple, Google, Samsung and more, you can still save up to $590 with a trade-in. If you're shopping for the previous-gen Pixel 6A, you'll probably be trading in an older phone that will net you closer to $200 or $300 in credit.
Verizon customers can pick up the Pixel 6A for as little as $49, or $1.36 per month, at Best Buy, which saves you $300 compared to the list price.
Pixel 6 and Pixel 6 Pro deals
The previous-gen Pixel 6 is almost 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 (though they still have the 6A) and most retailers and carriers have shifted their offers over to the newer Pixel 7 or Pixel 8 models, so deals are more limited right now.
Amazon still has some previous-gen Pixel 6 phones that you can pick up at a discount right now. You can save up to $239 on the base model Pixel 6, or up to $346 on the Pixel 6 Pro, with no trade-in or new line required.
