The Google Pixel 8 came out in the late fall of 2023 sporting some impressive features, a powerful camera, and generally setting a new bar for what to expect from a mid-range phone. Right now, you can get the unlocked 128GB Google Pixel 8 for $469.99 (originally $699.99) on Woot for cheaper than it was on Black Friday. This is the lowest price it has been, according to my favorite price comparison tools. For reference, the Pixel 8 dropped to $539.99 earlier this month, which was the then-record low price.
The sale goes on until April 1 at 1 a.m. or until the phones sell out. If you have Amazon Prime, you get free shipping; otherwise, it’ll be $6 to ship. (Heads up, though: Woot only ships to the 48 contiguous states in the U.S.)
The Pixel 8 has a ton of cool features, like AI-enabled photo editing, audio editing, and live translation. Some of my favorite features include the “Audio Magic Eraser,” which gets rid of distracting sounds in videos, and the “Best Take” feature, which lets you pick the best face from a series of photos. And if you happen to be caught in the rain, its IP68 rating will give you water and dust resistance. You’ll also get the newest Google-made chip, the Google Tensor G3, and seven years of guaranteed software support, meaning the phone will be getting updates until 2030. Unfortunately, though, it is missing some of the latest AI features, which Google says is because of hardware limitations.
The biggest downside of this deal is passing up the Pixel 8 Pro, which is a better phone, albeit a more expensive one. (We summarized the differences between the two phones previously, if you’re unfamiliar.) If you can live without the better camera and the extra fancy features, the Pixel 8 is a great choice at its current price.
