With so many Google Pixel phones out there now, there's a deal for nearly every model and budget. Act now to snag these deals.
When you're in the Android ecosystem, Google Pixel phones are among the best smartphones you can buy in 2024. The Pixel lineup is already more affordable compared with top-of-the-line offerings from Apple and Samsung, but we've found deals to help save you even more -- and in some cases, even get your new Google Pixel phone for (almost) free.
Whether you need the latest and greatest Pixel 8 Pro, the versatile Pixel Fold or a more affordable model, such as the Pixel 7A or the previous-gen Pixel 6A, you don't have to overspend. We've laid out the top deals below. However, if you see a deal you want to take advantage of, be quick about it. Phone carriers and other retailers offering discounts on phones and accessories can change these prices at their discretion and without notice.

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 highly.
Amazon is currently selling the 128GB Google Pixel 8 for $626, down from $699. Right now, phones in the color Obsidian are available at this price, a $73 savings. There are small discounts on the 256GB Pixel 8 right now. If you buy it in Hazel, you'll pay $749, a discount of $10.

For a Pixel 8 Pro, you can get up to $700 back when you switch to Google Fi. Google also accepts trade-ins and requires you to answer a few questions, so your discount will vary depending on your phone make, model and condition. At the time of writing, trade-in values started at $255 for Google Pixel Pro 7 phones with 512GB storage. Google One members can also get up to 3% cash back.
AT&T is offering savings on Pixel phones purchased on an installment plan. Score the Google Pixel 8 Pro for $0 a 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.

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 $400 cash back on the Google Pixel Watch 2 with your phone purchase. This will appear as a bill credit on your statements for the next 36 months. Other perks include $550 off a Galaxy Tab S9 FE 5G, but note that you'll need to add a new line for this discount. Qualifying customers can also get a free Amazon Fire TV 65-inch Omni series 4K TV (through July 3). Finally, you can also get the Disney Bundle for free for up to six months with a qualifying phone plan.

If you're on a different qualifying service plan, you can still save up to $600 with a trade-in. This discount is applied as bill credits over 24 months. Note that both of these phones are back-ordered at T-Mobile right now, but these are great deals if you're willing to wait a bit.
Best Buy currently has no straightforward discounts on Pixel 8 series phones, but you can get up to $325 trade-in credit on unlocked models through their trade-in program.

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.

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 $465. Newer models (especially iPhones) earn the highest trade-in value. Right now, AT&T isn't carrying the 7 Pro.

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.
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.
There are no discounts on the Pixel 7A at Google right now. However, Google's trade-in program offers up to $496, although you'll likely get much less than that for an average phone. That said, you could potentially trade in certain phones and get the 7A for almost free.
Best Buy isn't currently offering discounts on the Google Pixel 7A, 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. You can also save if you buy open-box phones, but availability varies by location.
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).

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.

Google also offers anyone who buys the Fold three free months of YouTube Premium and six months of Google One.

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 has 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 $150.
Verizon is offering the Google Pixel 6A for the standard retail price, but you can get some trade-in credit. Plus, you can get up to $400 back in the form of bill credits if you want to add a Google Pixel Watch 2. You can also score $550 off a Galaxy Tab S9 FE 5G. If you want these discounts, you'll need to get a line and qualifying plan for these devices.
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, as well as Verizon.
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 $438 if you buy it in Cloudy White, which is half off the asking price of $900. That's a discount of $461.
While the 6 and 6 Pro are currently available at Verizon, availability is limited. However, if you do find one near you, you may qualify for up to $400 in cash back on a Google Pixel Watch 2 in the form of bill credits with the purchase of a Google Pixel 6 or 6 Pro. You can also score up to $550 off a Galaxy Tab S9 FE 5G. You can snag deals on these accessories with the purchase of a separate line.
