So far the Google Pixel 8 is one of the best Black Friday phone deals we’ve come across, with Google former flagship seeing a price drop of nearly 30%. This is good for $200 in savings and a $499 Black Friday price.

Any time you can get a recently released phone at a discount it’s worth taking a look at. This Black Friday deal sees the 128GB model of the brand new Google Pixel 9 discounted $63. This brings its price down to $736, and Amazon is even including one-day shipping for Prime members. With the Pixel 9 being among the newest generation of smartphones it includes AI integrations, and one of its other main features is a 50-megapixel camera that produces amazing video quality and a 48-megapixel ultrawide camera for macro focusing photography.

How to choose a Google Pixel on Black Friday

Google has a lot of different devices in its Pixel lineup, and you can’t really go wrong with any of them. This may remove a little stress from the shopping experience, as you can shop initially for just about anything. If you’re looking for some of the best wireless earbuds there are some great options among the Google Pixel Buds lineup, and the Pixel lineup also has several phones to choose from. The Google Pixel Tablet is a great Android tablet and a great alternative to several different iPad models, and you’ll even find several smartwatches among what the Google Pixel Watch has to offer.

Once you’ve decided what kind of device you want to take home during these Black Friday deals, we recommend you go straight for the most savings. That’s what Black Friday is all about, after all, and while we do see some modest discounts across the Pixel lineup throughout the year, it’s likely to see some pretty substantial savings available both during Black Friday and during the early Black Friday deals that precede it. If you see a Google Pixel device that suits your needs and you see it at a price that works for you, make a purchase and start putting it to use.

How we chose these Black Friday Google Pixel deals

With the Google Pixel lineup having so many great devices to choose from, our first consideration in choosing the best Black Friday Google Pixel deals was newness. New releases get top priority here, as it can be difficult to find a discount at all on something that’s recently been released. The Google Pixel 9 is an example of this, and even though some Google Pixel devices may have been supplanted by a more recent release, we kept them toward the top of the list simply because new generations are being released every year now. A phone that’s a year old may not be the newest on the market, but if it can still hold its own it still feels like a recent release come Black Friday.

Price drops are the second main thing we looked at when narrowing down the best Black Friday Google Pixel deals. Devices that are a generation or two old are the main candidates here, and while some may think of these devices as ancient tech, they present incredible value when their price is dropped significantly enough. Black Friday is when we tend to see these more unique, more substantial price drops, so we didn’t hesitate to include devices like the Google Pixel Buds Pro and Google Pixel 8.

Why you should buy the Garmin Forerunner 265
When we reviewed the Garmin Forerunner 265, we called it “a new standard for fitness watches.” That is definitely how I felt when I spent time with it. One huge highlight is its great looking AMOLED panel, which offers deep blacks and vibrant colors. Having tried cheaper Garmin watches, it’s that screen that instantly makes the Garmin Forerunner 265 much classier to use.
