It's a fantastic time to be an Android fan this week - namely because both the Google Pixel 8 and Pixel 8 Pro are at record-low prices with up to $200 off at Amazon.
The retailer is currently offering the Pixel 8 for $549 (was $699) and the Pixel 8 Pro for just $799 (was $999), both fantastic prices for an unlocked device. Even those in the UK can treat themselves to a Pixel 8 for £554.99 (was £699) right now, which is the lowest price we've ever seen for an unlocked device in this territory.
Collectively, these are some of the best Google Pixel 8 deals we've seen since launch, which might not be entirely coincidental with the likely launch of Samsung Galaxy S24 preorders next week. Even though Google's flagship devices are likely to receive stiff competition from Samsung's next generation of smartphones extremely soon, we'd still say they're a fantastic buy - especially at these prices, which are likely going to be much lower than Samsung's devices at launch.

The standard Pixel 8 features most of the core features of the Pixel 8 Pro, namely a 50MP camera, Tensor G3 chipset, and 120Hz display. It does, however, lack the telephoto zoom on its camera, so you may want to upgrade if you're looking for a more versatile camera. The display and battery are also not quite as good as on the Pro model.
