Both the Pixel 8 and Pixel 8 Pro surpass their predecessors with a range of improvements, proudly taking the crowns as Google’s new flagship smartphones. They have new processors, brighter screens with higher refresh rates, and cutting edge AI features. We mention both of these handsets in our buyer’s guide to the best Android phones, and have no problem recommending either of them to those looking to get a new device.
One of the few issues we have with the Pixel 8 series is that the prices are a bit high, with the 8 and 8 Pro models starting at $700 and $1,000, respectively. Fortunately, there are some decent deals available for those willing to dig around a bit, and we’ve already done all the work for you. Below we’ve rounded up the best Pixel 8 and Pixel 8 Pro deals available right now!
Best Pixel 8 deals
We have some solid Pixel 8 deals going on right now, whether you are looking for instant discounts or long-term carrier promotions. Best Buy is currently taking $100 off the handset, and all you have to do is activate the phone through the retailer on the same day as purchase. It’s not a massive savings, but it’s a nice option for those looking to buy the phone outright. On the flip side, for those willing to go the installment plan route, all 3 major US carriers are running promotions right now that essentially make the Pixel 8 free or close to it.
Best Buy
Save $100 w/ Activate Today
Best Buy’s only direct promotion on the Pixel 8 right now is $100 instant discount with Activate Today. This means you must activate the phone the same day as you purchase, on an eligible upgrade or new line with a compatible carrier.
Free w/ Google Fi Wireless
Google isn’t offering any direct discounts on the Pixel 8, but it will give you one for free if you sign up for its Google Fi Wireless service. As with any carrier, you don’t get the discount up front; Google will issue it to you over 24 months via bill credits. Still, a free Pixel.
Amazon
Amazon also doesn’t have any Pixel 8 deals running at the moment, but we do see a few third-party sellers offering discounts. If you decide to go that route, just be sure the phone is new and a US model (for warranty purposes), and that the seller is reputable with high ratings.
Verizon
Free Pixel 8
There are two ways to get the Pixel 8 for free at Verizon right now. You can either add a new line of service, or trade in an eligible device and upgrade to the Pixel 8. Discounts are distributed via bill credits over 36 months. The carrier is also giving new customers a free 65″ 4K Fire TV with select plans and smartphone purchases (this ends at the end of March).
AT&T
Save over $400 w/ installment plan
AT&T has the Pixel 8 for just $11 per month when you upgrade on a qualifying unlimited plan, and go with the monthly billing option. The deal ties you to the carrier for 36 months, but you do end up saving over $400 on the purchase price.
T-Mobile
Free Pixel 8
T-Mobile will give you the Pixel 8 for free if you are on a Go5G Next or Plus plan, and either trade in an eligible device, or add a new line. You can also get up to $500 off with a trade-in or new line on other eligible plans. As usual, all discounts are applied via monthly bill credits.

Best Pixel 8 Pro Deals
As with the Pixel 8, Best Buy is taking $100 off the Pixel 8 Pro via its Activate Today program. Again, it’s not a significant deal, but it’s one of the few instant discounts available right now. Also like the Pixel 8, the Pixel 8 Pro deals are much better on the installment plan side of the pool. Google, along with all the major US carriers, are taking up to $800 off the handset, and AT&T will even give you the $1,000 phone for free with an eligible trade-in and qualifying unlimited plan.
Best Buy
Save $100 w/ Activate Today
As with the Pixel 8, Best Buy will take $100 off the Pixel 8 Pro through its Activate Today program. This is a solid discount for anyone looking to purchase the phone outright, and you can make it even better if you’re OK going with an open box model (Open-Box Excellent from $759).
Save $800 w/ Google Fi Wireless
Google will knock $800 off the Pixel 8 Pro if you sign up for its Google Fi Wireless service. Again, you won’t get the discount right away, but over 24 months your monthly phone payments should be less than $10 for a $1,000 phone.
Amazon
Amazon isn’t running any discounts on the Pixel 8 Pro as of our latest update, but it’s always worth giving the website a quick peek before you buy elsewhere to see if there are any flash sales or a good third-party seller offer available.
Verizon
Free Pixel 8 Pro
Verizon is offering several promotions on the Pixel 8 Pro right now. You can get it for free by trading in your old device and adding a new line, you can get up to $800 off with a trade-in and upgrade, or you can save $200 with just an upgrade. You can also get up to $400 off a Pixel Watch 2 with purchase.
AT&T
Free Pixel 8 Pro
AT&T will give you a Pixel 8 Pro for free with an eligible trade-in and a qualifying unlimited plan. As with most carrier deals, the discount isn’t instant; it’s applied to your account via monthly bill credits.

How much does the Google Pixel 8 cost?
The Google Pixel 8 starts at $699 for the base model with 128GB of internal storage — a hundred dollars more than what the Pixel 7 launched at — and comes in three colorways: Hazel, Rose, and Obsidian.
What’s a good deal on the Pixel 8?
As you probably know, just because something is discounted doesn’t necessarily make it a good buy; however, the Pixel 8 for $549 is a great deal. It’s the exact same discount we saw applied during Black Friday last year, and its the cheapest the Pixel 8 has ever been. So, don’t feel guilty and pick one up today.
