Score the Google Pixel 8 or 8a for up to $200 off at Amazon as of Sept. 17:
The iPhone 16 is officially up for preorder, but if you aren't into getting the latest and greatest phones, you might be skipping it. If you still want to get a brand-new smartphone without paying brand-new iPhone prices, there are a couple of Android alternatives that can help you save a bundle: the Google Pixel 8 and Pixel 8a. Right now, you can get both for a great deal at Amazon, and one even comes with a free smartwatch to boot.
If you're ready to drop some cash (but not an entire paycheck) on your new smartphone, the Pixel line is well worth exploring. Check out the great options you can save big on below and snag a new Android phone that you can show off this fall. Who said Apple devices were the only game in town?
The Google Pixel 8 boasts "strong performance" as well as "great cameras," according to Mashable's Alex Perry, as well as a 120Hz display and good battery life. This deal lets you snag one for $200 off, in addition to receiving a free Google Pixel Watch (WiFi) with your purchase. Just add both the phone and qualifying Pixel Watch to your cart to receive the discount. The Pixel Watch is currently $234.99, and usually retails for $279.99, so there are significant savings to be had here (a whopping $434.99) if you're planning on going with the Pixel 8.
The Google Pixel 8a is $100 off, which is a great deal for a phone Alex Perry called out for its "excellent performance," as well as its 120Hz refresh rate and great battery life. It includes most of the features of the Pixel 8 "for cheaper," including a great camera array (same as the Pixel 7a), and its "elite performance" makes it worthy of its flagship status. If you're ready to get a new Android phone that's every bit as good as its more expensive competitors, this is a great bargain you won't want to miss out on.
