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 camera problems that we felt were serious enough to warrant holding off on recommending the phone. 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.

Right now on Amazon, there aren't any spectacular deals on either the Pixel 8 Pro or the Pixel 8, though you can get the Pixel 8 for $679 in obsidian, a modest $20 savings. 

Google is having a couple of direct discounts, with $200 off the Pixel 8 and $250 off the Pixel 8 Pro. You can also get up to $750 in trade-in value, so you could theoretically get the Pixel 8 phone for free, or possibly a steeply reduced price. A purchase also gets you three months of YouTube Premium, six months of Fitbit Premium and six months of Google One with the purchase.

AT&T is offering savings on Pixel phones when they're purchased on an installment plan. Score the Google Pixel 8 Pro for $0 per 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 will cost you $11 per month but you can get savings of up to $444 in the form of bill credits over 36 months, with no trade-in required. 

You can also save 50% on Google accessories with the purchase of any Pixel phone. 

Customers adding a new line at Verizon on any 5G Unlimited plan can get the Pixel 8 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.

If you prefer the Pixel 8 Pro, you can get up to $1,000 off with a new line and trade-in of the same brand (any model, any condition). Or add a new line on the Unlimited Ultimate plan and you can get up to $820 in promo credit, in the form of bill credits over 36 months. If you want to upgrade, Verizon is offering $200 off, no trade-in or new line required.

Verizon also has a few bonus offers. You can get a Google Pixel Watch 2 for free with your phone purchase, but note that you'll need a new line of service to get the discount. Verizon mobile customers who purchase select 5G smartphones with a new line on Unlimited Ultimate or Unlimited Plus before April 30 can get an Amazon Fire TV 65" Omni Series 4K for free. 

T-Mobile customers on a Go5G Plus or Go5G Next plan can get $800 off either model with an eligible trade-in or a new line of service. That gets you the Pixel 8 for free and the 8 Pro for $200.

If you're on a different qualifying service plan, you can still save up to $500 with a trade-in or $400 off when you add a qualifying line. This discount is applied as bill credits over 24 months. 

Best Buy doesn't have any straightforward discounts on the Pixel 8 or Pixel 8 Pro right now, but you can get up to $325 trade-in credit on unlocked models through Best Buy's trade-in program. You also get one month of Xbox Game Pass Ultimate for free with either Pixel phone. 

If you want to Verizon model, you can get up to  $800 in credit for a trade-in on the Pixel 8. There are no current Verizon offers at Best Buy on the Pixel 8 Pro, but currently. 

If the Pixel 8 Pro is what you're after, there isn't a big promo on the base price, but you can get an extra $100 off the value of your old phone in addition to trade-in value when you bring in a qualifying device and purchase and activate the Pro.  

Pixel 7 and 7 Pro deals

The previous-gen Pixel 7 and 7 Pro hit shelves 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, several offers are available to you. 

There are no straightforward 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 $496 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 $720. Newer models (especially iPhones) earn the highest trade-in value. Plus, you can save 50% on Google accessories with the purchase of any Pixel phone.

Right now, AT&T is not carrying the 7 Pro. 

Best Buy isn't currently offering any direct discounts, but you can get up to $755 in trade-in value for both locked and unlocked models and for the Pixel 7 and Pixel 7 Pro, however the trade-in value cannot exceed the price of the phone. Plus, the purchase of either phone scores you one month of Xbox Game Pass Ultimate, three months of Google One and three months of YouTube Premium.

Amazon has some bigger discounts on the Pixel 7 and Pixel 7 Pro right now, with some variations up to 44% 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 best deal currently available. Right now the Pixel 7 is marked down to $400, a $200 savings. Plus Amazon's trade-in program can warrant you an additional $260 on the Pixel 7. 

Although Verizon is no longer carrying the Pixel 7 Pro, the Pixel 7 is still available. Unfortunately, there are no big discounts and only the snow and obsidian color is in stock. You can, however, get up to $220 off a Google watch with the purchase of a Pixel phone. 

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. 

Spectrum does not have the Pixel 7, but they are carrying the 7 Pro. Although there are no big discounts, you can qualify for a $100 discount with the trade-in of any device worth more than $1. 

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.

Google has no direct discount on the Pixel 7A right now, but you can get up to $469 in trade-in, although you'll likely get much less than that for an average phone. That said, you could potentially trade-in and get it for the 7A free with certain phones. 

The Pixel 7A isn't discounted at Best Buy right now, 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. 

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 but you can potentially get trade-in credit. Right now the purchase of any Pixel phone will get you 50% off on Google accessories. 

You can trade in a qualifying device and get an instant savings of $100 off the price of the 7A and activate a new one. 

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. 

There is no current straightforward discount at Google on the Pixel Fold, but you can get up to $496 trade-in credit. Google also offers anyone who buys the Fold three free months of YouTube Premium and six months of Google One.

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. 

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 $1,000. 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. 

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. You can also get an Amazon Fire TV 65" Omni Series 4K with purchase, valid until April 30. 

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 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 -- slightly less than the standard Pixel 7, but still more than sufficient for most people. It also boasts 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's already a solid value at just $349. 

Right now, 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 $51. 

Pixel 6 and Pixel 6 Pro deals

The previous-gen 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 (though it still has 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. You can find limited stock of the Pixel 6 at AT&T, but there are no current deals. 

Amazon still has some previous-gen Pixel 6 phones that you can pick up. Prices are extremely volatile right now, and stocks are low but there's potential for some big savings. Right now a 128GB Pixel 6 Pro is currently listed at $450, half off the original retail price.
