Google’s Pixel 8 and Pixel 8 Pro, which we consider the best Android phones for most people, are currently on sale at their lowest prices ever. As part of an early Black Friday sale, the 6.7-inch Pixel 8 Pro is now priced at $799 at various retailers, while the 6.2-inch Pixel 8 is on sale for $549. These prices represent a $200 discount for the Pixel 8 Pro and a $150 discount for the Pixel 8 compared to their usual prices. These deals apply to unlocked models with 128GB of storage.
If you need more storage space, the 256GB Pixel 8 is available for $609, which is another $150 discount. The 256GB and 512GB versions of the Pixel 8 Pro are also on sale, with discounts of $200, bringing their prices to $859 and $979, respectively. These deals are available for all color finishes of the two devices.
In our review last month, we gave the Pixel 8 and Pixel 8 Pro scores of 90 and 93, respectively. Both phones offer a vibrant OLED display with a smooth 120Hz refresh rate, impressive battery life, fast performance thanks to Google’s Tensor G3 chip, a clean version of Android, and excellent photo quality. The cameras are especially enhanced by AI editing tools, such as the “Audio Magic Eraser” feature that effectively eliminates ambient noise from video clips, and the “Best Take” feature that combines the best results from a series of group photos.
One of the standout features of these phones is Google’s promise to provide OS and security updates for a full seven years, ensuring longer-term support for users. While the Pixel 8 Pro offers some additional advantages, such as a sharper ultrawide lens, a dedicated 5x telephoto lens, and advanced camera controls, the standard Pixel 8 still provides a great experience at a lower price point.
For those looking for a more affordable Android phone, the Pixel 7a is also on sale for $374, which is a $125 discount and an all-time low. Although it may not match the specifications of the Pixel 8, it remains our top recommendation for Android fans on a budget.
Additionally, the Pixel Buds Pro are available for $120, which is close to the lowest price we’ve seen for these wireless earbuds in our buying guide.
