Get a free Pixel with eligible trade-in
Google Pixel phones regularly take top spots in our list of the best phones available, giving both Apple and Samsung phones a run for their money. Although overall Pixel phones tend to be affordably priced, that doesn’t exactly mean they come 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 derail your budget.
An important note for bargain hunters: Last week, 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, are likely to start falling. While they might not be the newest, shiniest tech out there anymore, 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.
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.

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.
Best Buy isn’t offering any discounts on the Pixel 7A right now, but you can trade in a device to save a good amount off the standard price. Although technically you can save up to $755, with iPhones netting you the most back, your trade-in amount can’t exceed the value of the Pixel 7A, so you’ll have to see how much your trade-in would be worth. You can also save if you buy open-box phones, but availability varies by location. You can save an extra $100 when you connect with a carrier via Best Buy.
The purchase comes with three free months of Google One and three free months of YouTube Premium (for new subscribers).
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.
Google isn’t offering discounts on the Pixel Fold right now. You can save up to $435 with trade-in credit for an eligible 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.
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.
