With the Pixel 8 and 8 Pro out in the wild, the older Pixel 7 series is no longer Google’s flagship and, therefore, has some nice discounts on them. That’s great because the older models are still quite powerful and are still some of the best Android phones you can grab. That said, with so many flocking to the newer generation, it’s hard to find big deals on the 2022 models, with most of the offers coming in the form of the trade-in value. Even so, we have found a couple of direct discounts you can check out.
The Pixel 7 series offers some serious improvements over the 2021 Pixel 6 phones. Both the Pixel 7 and Pixel 7 Pro come with the second-gen Tensor chip, so you get a lot more power and efficiency, with battery life remaining relatively the same, even though you’re getting more performance out of the phones.
They both also come with improved cameras and have some changes to screen size, with the Pixel 7 going for the smaller 6.3-inch display rather than the 6.4-inch display of the Pixel 6. As for the Pixel 7 Pro, it continues to have a large 6.7-inch display, which is perfect for those who prefer larger screens. Note that there’s also the more recently released Pixel 7A on the market from $499. And the Pixel Fold might also be something you’d be interested in, especially if you’ve been eyeing the foldables market for a while.
