Best overall Google Pixel deal

Google Pixel phones are known for their unparalleled cameras, and the Google Pixel 8 Pro is the latest model packed with the most advanced features. While the Google Pixel 8 Pro and the Google Pixel 8 aren't different enough to warrant the need for an upgrade if you already own the 8, the Pro is an excellent choice for those who are just making the switch over to Google Pixel phones. It's fast, powerful, and has a host of AI features to explore.
While the unlocked Google Pixel 8 Pro usually lists for $999, it's back to its lowest-ever price at Amazon. We previously saw this same price drop over Black Friday and the December holiday season. It's a good idea to act on this deal before the price goes back up again.

As Mashable reviewer Alex Perry noted in his review of the Google Pixel 8 Pro and the Google Pixel 8, the Pro doesn't outshine its predecessor by too much. Therefore, if you're keen on spending a little less, the Google Pixel 8 is an excellent value buy. It has up to 8-times zoom compared to the Pro's 30-times, but it still matches the Pro's Best Take technology and Macro focus, two features that the previous generation was missing. Today, the unlocked Google Pixel 8 is on sale for 21% off, taking the price down from $699 to $549. Like the Pro, this model is at its lowest price on record, matching what we saw for the holidays.
Best budget-friendly Google Pixel deal

While the Google Pixel 7a's camera isn't the same caliber as the Pixel 8's, the unlocked Google Pixel 7a does have an ace up its sleeve: a price point of under $400. While we've seen this model hit a slightly lower price of $379 before, today's limited-time deal is hard to compete with, especially when taking features like 24-hour battery life, 128GB of storage, and enhanced security into consideration. When you score today's deal, you get a budget price without stooping down to budget quality.
