The prepaid carrier Mint Mobile has just dropped one of the best Google Pixel 7 deals we've seen since this excellent Android flagship was released back in October of last year.
Right now, new customers can pick up this device for just $299 (opens in new tab) if they buy it with a 6-month plan - an excellent saving of $300 overall. This week's Mint Mobile deals also include 6-months of service for free, which means you'll not only get yourself a cheap Android flagship but get a nice little saving on some of the best prepaid plans on the market right now.
- Reasons to buy:
- Top-notch camera and features
- Powerful Tensor 2 chip
- Exceptional value
- Reasons to avoid:
- 90Hz display
The Google Pixel 7 is a superb choice if you're looking for a powerful Android flagship on a relatively modest budget. Even without this $200 discount at Mint Mobile, it's well under the price of the latest Galaxy S23 or iPhone 14 while arguably managing to pack in a host of comparable features.
For example, the Google Pixel 7 has one of the best cameras on the market right now - assisted by a host of computational wizardry and industry-leading features like Magic Eraser and Photo Unblur. The Tensor 2 chip is also great for the price, lending plenty of power for most everyday tasks. Wrap these up in an eye-catching and well-thought-out design, and you've got a really nice flagship device.
That said, the Google Pixel 7 isn't perfect. The Tensor 2, while plenty powerful for most users, lags behind the latest chips in Samsung and Apple devices when it comes to outright performance. The 90Hz display on the Pixel 7 is also fairly dated when compared to the competition - with 120Hz refresh rates now becoming commonplace on even modestly priced devices. Generally speaking, though, if you can look past these minor quibbles, the Pixel 7 is a great choice.
The above Pixel 7 deal from Mint Mobile is one of the best we've seen so far, and the device that you'll get from the carrier (even though you have to buy a plan) is technically unlocked.
