Featured Comments

8a isn't out until May.

They're clearing stock of the 8, and I guarantee the 8 won't be down to this price when the 8a is out (not at retail anyway).

Then the news of the Pixel 9 will increase.

That's how the Google sales cycle go. It's the same every year now.
Ok normally I never comment on phones, but I came from a Pixel 6a, loved that phone, when I upgraded to this one, its just non stop bugginess, not so much that it prevents you from doing anything, but a few issues i run into:

Signal keeps switching back and forth between 5g and lte at an area normally have 5g.

When your on a call and you have to look at the phone, it does not want to go back to the call easily, so if your on a call where you have to enter prompts, this makes it very difficult.

When you take a picture, it just doesnt process sometimes and there is a moment where your like did it work oh man everyone hold on my phone didnt work..

If you have certain updates pending, nobody can call you, had this happen twice where all day I didnt get any calls till I had to google issues to find this out, as its not displayed anywhere in front of you to catch it.

Stuff like that, im sure theres more but you get the idea, I am hoping someone at google sees this and does better quality control in the next update.

I was a big advocate of google phones prior to the 8 Frown
Tensor G3 SOC sucks too. Only thing good about this phone is camera and pretty much some stock android UI but if you want features or well built phone, lot of good options available. Pixel simply sucks after their tensor attempts

Yeah that's bad and often the case. They incentivize people to switch from Apple and Samsung. They know lots of existing pixel users will upgrade anyway.

Incentives on the 9 are the ones to wait for. Bestbuy had better incentives that Google did on trade ins with my 8 pro.
Apple and Samsung trade-in values are terrible as well. What incentives?

When the 9 comes out, not this one. Incentives were much better for apple and samsung when the 8/8 pro came out

Seems like this is the best deal for a Pixel 8 at this point. Need one to replace a Pixel 3 that finally quit on me :-(

Planning to buy directly from the Google Store since Google One (2TB) gives me 10% back. I'm also going to try using my own Superfan code for another $50 credit (not sure this will work) ..

Any other promo codes that might make the purchase slicker?

Mint had it for $400 locked, unlocked after a year, last week.

I really want a micro SD card slot, but guess I'll have to buy a bigger phone, because I've maxed out my phone and almost maxed out my .5 TB card.

Are Helium phones locked to Helium? If so, what is the unlock period?

Apparently not. That's a great price even without the service included.

good deal. $60 cheaper than the pixel 8 with 9 months service.

This seems to be unlimited plan (30GB priority data, then throttled). Anyone have experience with Hello Mobile?

It all comes down to personal preference, but I would say no.

Samsung does a great job of taking Android and adding to it with One UI. You are going to find there are simply options that seem to be missing on the Pixel from a customization standpoint. Plus Samsung's UI is designed to be clean and professional, Google's UI on the Pixel literally feels like it was designed by 8 year-old children... pastel everything, bubbles for windows, clocks with different size numbers, etc, etc...

I was on a Note 20 and was fully ready to swap when the P6 came out. Bought it day 1 and used it for a few weeks. Constant issues, like auto brightness not working, updates taking 20-40 minutes, poor battery life (Compared to a Note), massive camera hump, it got very hot doing simple things.... Just not a flagship phone. I also had the P7 and gave it a try (since Google offered P6 > P7 trades for like $30). Same issues. Nothing has changed on the 8.

The other issue is many places won't take a current generation Pixel as a trade-in, and when they do they are dirt cheap offers. I traded my P7 last Black Friday for a Thinkphone. In every way the Thinkphone is better than the Pixel line (but missing always on display). If I hadn't ordered my S23 Ultra at the same time, the Thinkphone would be my daily driver.

Google offered me $215 for my Pixel 7, AT&T offered me $1000 and I upgraded to an S24 ultra. Guess which one I took. I will say the Sammy is leaps better, not even close on speed, battery life, and more importantly modem. No signal issues whatsoever. I felt like I needed to wear a tin hat and have a divining rod with my Pixel. As a "phone" the Pixel is worse than $150 samsung A series.

Now you have to TIME them. Right now is the no activity days and deals are not to be found until the late summer and next upgrade cycle. Vendors will start to drop prices so if you are buying new (and not trading in) you could get a good deal. But tis not the season for trade ins.
