The Google Pixel 8 is the smaller sibling of Google's latest smartphones, but don't let that fool you. It's a capable phone, even beside the Pixel 8 Pro. Sure, there's enough going on with the screen, storage, cameras, battery, and charging to make the Pixel 8 Pro the more powerful phone, but not everyone needs so all of that.
So, if you're the kind of person that the Google Pixel 8 fits perfectly, you don't happen to have one, and you're very interested in getting one, you'll be glad to know that the Google Pixel 8 is currently on sale for the lowest price ever.
You Can Buy The Google Pixel 8 Now For Nearly 30% Off
The Google Pixel 8 is a very solid smartphone. It brings Google's amazing software, fantastic cameras, and unique design, and sticks them all into one package.
If you've ever held back from buying the phone because it's a bit out of your budget, there'll never be a better time to buy it than now. The 128GB Google Pixel 8 is on sale right now, with a whopping 29% off its original sales price. That brings it to $499 — $200 off! This sale applies whether you're buying the phone in Hazel, Obsidian, or the Rose colorway.
There's no sale on the 256GB version of the device and it is also very uncertain how long this sale might last, as it is simply listed on Amazon as a “Big Spring Deal”. So, if you're thinking of taking a shot on this, there's no better time to do that than now.
What Are The Specifications Of The Google Pixel 8?
If you're going to buy a Google Pixel 8, then you should know exactly what you're going to get (though it's impossible to say that what you get won't be worth it after a $200 price cut).
The phone comes with a 6.2-inch FHD+ OLED display with a 120Hz max refresh rate and 2000 nits of peak brightness. The screen and the back panel are protected with Gorilla Glass Victus, and the frame is made of aluminum. It is also IP68-rated. It runs Android 14, comes with the Google Tensor G3, and has 8GB of RAM paired with either 128GB or 256GB of UFS 3.1 storage. It's Google, so no expandable storage.
You'll get a 50MP main camera with OIS and a 12MP ultrawide to keep it company. The front camera is a 10.5MP module. Plus, you can record at up to 4K at 60 fps on either the front or back of the phone. The battery is 4575 mAh and can be charged at 27W wired and 18W wireless.
Is The Google Pixel 8 Pro A Better Buy?
It depends on who you ask. The Pixel 8 Pro gets a bigger, brighter, higher-resolution LTPO screen with better glass protection. It also gets more RAM and more storage configurations, an additional telephoto camera (and a better ultrawide), and a bigger battery and faster charging.
However, it costs a lot more. At the moment, the Pixel 8 Pro is also on sale, but you're going to need to fork up an additional $250 to get it with the same amount of storage. If you're not a power user, it's really hard to hate on a Pixel 8 for just $500 when there's no Pixel 9 on the horizon yet.
