Amazon has officially kicked off its Prime Day sale, and smartphone enthusiasts will be thrilled to discover exciting discounts on Google’s Pixel smartphone lineup, particularly the Pixel 8. This sale comes hot on the heels of Google’s own price cuts, making it a perfect opportunity to snag a deal.

For shoppers in the U.K., the base model Pixel 9 sees a price drop of £80 ($104), but it’s in the U.S. where the real bargains can be found. The Pixel 8, Pixel 7, and Pixel Tablet have all been marked down significantly, making them more affordable choices for consumers.

If you’re considering the Pixel 8, you might want to act fast. It’s a strong contender as it shares many capabilities with its newer sibling, the Pixel 9. Google is expected to roll out Pixel 9 exclusive features to the Pixel 8 over time, ensuring it remains a viable option for years to come. Plus, with a promise of eight years of Android and security updates, the Pixel 8 is an appealing choice for anyone seeking longevity in their device.

Here are some of the astounding offers currently available at Amazon:

Current Offers

- Google Pixel 8 Pro (128GB): 28% off - Now only $719.00

- Google Pixel 8: 42% off - Just $402.80

While the percentage discounts are calculated from the highest previous prices, it’s essential to note that these deals are still substantial. For instance, Amazon's pricing on the Pixel 8 Pro undercuts Google’s typical $250 price reduction, bringing it in at $31 cheaper.

In addition to these discounts, if you're planning to trade in your old device, Amazon’s offer is worth considering. For example, they’re providing $135 for a Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra and $225 for an iPhone 12 Pro Max compared to slightly lower offers from Google. However, it's important to remember that trade-in values can vary widely depending on the device and time of year, so checking multiple outlets can yield better returns.

If you’re eyeing a new Pixel device, remember that these discounts won't last forever, but it's also wise not to feel pressured into making a swift purchase. Google has a history of slashing prices on its devices throughout the year, so if you miss out, don’t despair—you may find another opportunity around the corner.

Whether you're upgrading or switching brands, these Prime Day deals offer a fantastic chance to grab a premium smartphone at a fraction of the cost. Happy shopping!
