Google is known for making some of the best Android phones on the market, especially since it created Game Pass. A couple of Google’s phones even show up on our list of best mobile phones for 2024, so it’s no surprise that plenty of people want to get their hands on one. Pixel phones are not only quite powerful, but they’re also user-friendly, and they are a welcome addition to anyone already integrated into the Google ecosystem.
You can grab a couple of direct discounts from Google if you buy directly, including a $150 discount on the Pixel 8 and a $200 discount on the Pixel 8 Pro. There’s also up to $750 in trade-in value, so you could theoretically get the phone for free, or for a steeply reduced price.
A purchase also gets three months of YouTube Premium and six months of Google One with the purchase.
Both the Pixel 8 and Pixel 8 Pro have direct discounts from Amazon. You can pick up the Pixel 8 for just $550, which is $150 off, while the Pixel 8 Pro is going for $799, which is $200 off.
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.
Customers adding a new line at Verizon on the Unlimted Ulitmate plan can get the Pixel 8 for free. Note this deal is online only and not available in stores. 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). Alternatively, you can save up to $800 with just a trade-in if you’re an existing customer who qualifies for an upgrade.
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.
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 is offering some straight discounts, with $200 off the Pixel 8 Pro and $150 off the Pixel 8. You also get one month of Xbox Game Pass Ultimate for free with either phone, which is pretty nifty. There is also $325 worth of trade-in credit so you can reduce the price even further.
If you prefer to get the Verizon model, you can get up to $680 in credit for a trade-in on the Pixel 8 and up to $1,000 in credit for a trade-in on the Pixel 8 Pro.
