It’s a great time to buy a new Android phone, unless you hate getting free stuff: Amazon is currently offering the Google Pixel 8 Pro for $624, or $375 off the retail price of $999. That’s the lowest price the device has reached, according to price-checking tools, and that’s not even factoring in a major freebie-with-purchase: To sweeten the deal, Amazon is throwing in the LTE Google Pixel Watch with your Pixel phone—a $249 value . This is a great offer, as both of these devices, though last year’s models, still have a lot to offer.
If you take advantage of the Pixel 8 Pro and Pixel Watch deal, you’re limited to the phone with 128GB of storage. You can read more about it on PCMag’s “excellent” review.
If you’re looking for more storage, the standard Pixel 8 is available in 128GB and 256GB models alongside a free WiFi Pixel Watch; those offers start at $499, which is also a great deal (the Google Pixel Watch is already 2 years old, but it’s free, and still makes for a great fitness watch). You can read more of the details here.
The Pixel 8 Pro is no longer the latest Pixel, as Google unveiled the new Pixel 9 lineup in August. However, the Pixel 8 Pro is still a great phone in 2024, with support for tons of AI features that make the phone feel fresh even a year after its release. Google has also been working hard to patch up the vulnerabilities on their Pixel phones as far back as the Pixel 6, meaning the Pixel 8 Pro will be supported with software updates for a while (as long as seven years). Google also keeps dropping new Pixel features every few months, including the “Audio Magic Eraser,” which gets rid of distracting sounds in videos, and the “Best Take” feature, which lets you pick the best shot from a series of photos.
