In the world of Android phones, the Google Pixel lineup frequents our list of the best phones you can buy. The latest Pixel 9 are even giving both Apple and Samsung phones a run for their money. Pixel phones tend to be much more affordable than their counterparts, but that doesn’t exactly mean they’re the definition of cheap, especially the Pixel Pro and XL models. Luckily, we’ve found plenty of ways to score a Pixel phone at a price that won’t give you sticker shock.
An important note for bargain hunters: about a month ago, Google revealed the new Pixel 9 models during a live event. That means prices on older models, such as last year’s Pixel 8 Pro and the original Pixel Fold, have slowly started following. 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 or even the previous-gen Pixel 6A. They’re still great phones, and you don’t have to spend too much money to get one. Availability is becoming scarcer, especially on the Pixel 6 lineup.
Hey, did you know? CNET Deals texts are free, easy and save you money.
We’ve compiled the best deals across all the Pixel models happening right now. If you see a deal you want to take advantage of, be quick about it. Phone carriers and other retailers offering discounts on phones and accessories can change these prices at their discretion and without notice.
Pixel 9, 9 Pro, 9 XL and 9 Pro Fold deals
Just introduced, the new Pixel 9 series phones come with a fresh design and are jam-packed with AI features. Generative AI pops up in many places, like the weather app and the all-new image-generation app. The new design uses flat edges and has a more defined camera bar. At an impressive 6.8 inches, the XL model is the largest phone created by Google yet. The Pixel 9 retails for $799, the 9 Pro is going for $999, the new XL model is also now selling for $1,099 and the Pro Fold starts at $1,799.
Verizon is offering the Google Pixel for free or up to $800 off the 9 Pro and up to $1,000 off in trade-in credit on the 9 Pro or 9 Pro Fold when you trade in any phone from Google, Apple or Samsung and add a new line. The best part is the phone can be in any condition.
AT&T is offering the brand-new Google Pixel 9 Pro or XL phone for free when you trade in another Pixel phone, any model or year. If you’re looking to get the Google Pixel 9, you can get one for just $11 per month instead of the usual $24 per month.

Pixel 8 and 8 Pro deals
Released in late 2023, the Pixel 8 and 8 Pro were the latest phones in Google’s flagship lineup until the release of the Pixel 9. The Pixel 8 and 8 Pro are equipped with a next-gen Tensor G3 processor, new AI features and improved screens. Right now, these models, and deals on them, are a little scarce so it’s mostly trade-in credit offers.
There are no current discounts on Pixel 8 or Pixel 8 Pro phones, but they are in stock and there is potential for savings via trade-in credit. Exactly how much will depend on what you’re trading in, of course.
Although AT&T is also not offering any direct savings on Pixel 8 or 8 Pro phones right now, but it does have them in stock, and you can potentially save via its trade-in program on eligible devices.

Verizon currently has both the Pixel 8 and the 8 Pro in stock. Though the Pixel 8 Pro has no offers right now, if you buy an unlocked Google Pixel 8 on the Unlimited Ultimate, plan you can get $540 off. Note that this is an online-only plan.
Right now the unlocked Pixel 8 and Pixel 8 Pro are discounted directly at Best Buy. You can score the Pixel 8 for $200 off, bringing that price down to $499. The Pixel 8 Pro is $375 off, so that drops to $624.
In addition, you can get up to $325 in trade-in credit. You also get three months of Google One (100GB storage) with either Pixel phone.
If you opt to connect to a carrier through Best Buy, you can save an additional $100 on either model. Some Best Buy locations also have open-box versions, which can help you maximize savings.
Pixel 8A deals
The Pixel 8A is new — we just reviewed it in May — and at its unlocked list price of $500, it’s a tremendous value. Let’s see if we can make it even better.
AT&T is now offering new and existing customers the Google Pixel 8A for just $6 per month if you purchase outright or on an installment plan on an eligible plan. You can then receive bill credits of up to $304. AT&T is also offering a free AT&T AmiGO Jr. watch with this phone (requires an eligible separate line).

Pixel 7 and 7 Pro deals
The previous-gen Pixel 7 and 7 Pro hit shelves in October 2022, and you’ll find them in stock and available at most major retailers and carriers. Whether you’re looking for an unlocked model, have an older device to trade in or need a new service plan through a carrier, several offers are available to you.
Although Verizon is no longer carrying the Pixel 7 Pro, the Pixel 7 is still available. Currently, there are no direct discounts, but Verizon occasionally offers perks to go along with new phone purchases. These deals fluctuate, so check back often. For now, new and existing customers can get 0% APR on a new Pixel 7. The carrier is also offering free two-day shipping when you open a new line.

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 $399. Only the obsidian color is available, and the offer isn’t offered in stores.
AT&T doesn’t have a discount on the Pixel 7A right now, but you can potentially get trade-in credit.
Pixel Fold deals
Samsung’s new generation of Z-series foldable phones has some competition from Google. The Pixel Fold was Google’s very first foldable device. It features a 5.8-inch cover screen, a 7.6-inch OLED internal screen, 12GB of RAM, a Tensor G2 processor and an intimidating $1,799 starting price, although you can get your hands on one for less with the trade-in offers below. With the announcement of the 9 Pro Fold, which you can now preorder, we’re hoping to see even more price drops on the original Fold.
While Best Buy hasn’t discounted the Pixel Fold at all, you do have the potential to save with a trade-in. If you opt for a carrier model you can get $100 off.
Get an instant savings of $100 when you get the Pixel Fold, activate it and trade in a qualifying device.
Pixel 6A deals
CNET’s Lisa Eadicicco originally called Google’s affordable Pixel 6A the “best Android phone under $500.” It’s slightly smaller than the Pixel 7, with a 6.1-inch OLED display with a refresh rate of 60Hz. It’s equipped with 128GB of storage and 6GB of RAM, plus 5G capabilities and support for Wi-Fi 6 for fast browsing. After the release of the Pixel 7A, Google dropped the starting price by $100, so it was already a solid value at $349.
Right now, discounts are few and far between and the phone is largely out of stock. Still, we’ve collected the best deals we can find below.
Though not a massive discount, you can still nab this unlocked Pixel 6A for just $360 at Walmart right now.
Verizon is currently offering the Google Pixel 6A for the standard retail price of $400. You can save with trade-in.
Pixel 6 and Pixel 6 Pro deals
The Pixel 6 is almost three years old, so new models are scarcer than before. If you’re committed to snagging one of these older flagship phones, know that Google no longer carries the Pixel 6, and most retailers and carriers have shifted their offers over to the newer Pixel 7 or Pixel 8 models, so deals are limited.
The 6 and 6 Pro are only sporadically available at Verizon, and there are currently no straightforward discounts, but Verizon is offering free two-day shipping or express in-store pickup with purchase.
The 6 Pro is out of stock right now and is only available by express pickup.
