Google’s Newest Pixel Phones Just Hit Their Lowest Prices
Yes, the Google Pixel 8 and Pixel 8 Pro were only released in October this year, but that doesn’t stop them from joining the holiday deals. The unlocked 256GB Pixel 8 just hit a new low price at Best Buy, currently $531 (originally $759), lower than it was during Black Friday, according to Honey’s price history . The current deal makes it even cheaper than the 128GB version at the moment, making the 256GB version a no-brainer. Meanwhile, the unlocked Google Pixel 8 Pro 128GB is back to its Black Friday price of $799 (originally $999), according to Camelcamelcamel price history .
Choosing between Pixel 8 and Pixel 8 Pro
If you can’t decide between the two phones, our guide will help you by covering the main differences . Ultimately, it all depends on your budget and whether you need the best camera and the latest features. Best Buy’s current deal may make it a little easier to choose the Pixel 8 over the Pro since it has twice the internal storage.
You’ll still get Google’s latest processor, Android 14, and 7 years of guaranteed software support (meaning you’ll get updates until 2030). You’ll also get the same new AI features , like Audio Magic Eraser, which gets rid of distracting sounds in the videos you shoot, and Best Take, which lets you pick the best face from a series of photos. (No more ruined photos because you blinked.) Like the Pro, the Pixel 8 has an IP68 rating, which means it’s water and dust resistant. You’ll also be able to use Google’s new Titan M2 security chip, which supports face and in-display fingerprint unlocking.
If camera quality isn’t a big deal to you, the Pixel 8 is probably the best choice for most people.
