Google’s Pixel lineup consistently makes our list of best Android phones and even the best phones overall on the market. In fact, the latest Pixel 9 models are on par with Apple and Samsung phones in terms of features. Even better, Pixel phones are far more affordable than these more expensive counterparts, but their stellar features do still come at a cost, especially the higher-end Pixel Pro and XL models. Still, we’ve managed to find some deals on Pixel phones that will help you save some cash. Savings rack up if you don’t mind a previously released model or if you have a device to trade in.
An important note for bargain hunters: This summer Google revealed the new Pixel 9 models. That means prices on older models, such as last year’s Pixel 8 Pro and the original Pixel Fold, have fallen. They might not be the newest, shiniest tech out there anymore, but we’re still fans of plenty of earlier models, such as the Pixel 7A. They’re still great phones, and you don’t have to spend too much money to get one. Availability is becoming scarcer, though, especially on the Pixel 6 lineup, but we’ve included deals on older models wherever we can find them.
Hey, did you know? CNET Deals texts are free, easy and save you money.

Pixel 8A deals

Watch this: Pixel 7 vs. Pixel 7A: How Do the Specs Stack Up?
Pixel 7A deals
CNET’s Lisa Eadicicco reviewed the budget-friendly Pixel 7A and found it has many of the same features as the Pixel 7, saying that “it has the same Tensor G2 processor as the Pixel 7, a new 64-megapixel main camera and a 6.1-inch screen just like its predecessor.” It’s available at a lower base price than the other models in the Pixel 7 lineup, but unless you can find it for significantly less than the 8A (or a great deal with your carrier), go for the newer phone.
Right now, Target has the 7A marked down to just $299. Only the obsidian color is in stock, and the offer isn’t available in stores.
