With the expected announcement of the Google Pixel 9 at the upcoming Made by Google event, there’s going to be a lot of phone deals featuring discounts on older generations of Google’s smartphone. In fact, the current model, the Google Pixel 8, is already on sale from Amazon, with the 128GB version down to just $510 from $699, for savings of $189. Since there’s no telling how long this offer will last, we highly recommend making your purchase immediately if you want to get this device for much cheaper than usual.

Why you should buy the Google Pixel 8

Here’s how to watch the Made by Google event, where we expect the Google Pixel 9 to be unveiled. However, even with the arrival of the new smartphone, the Google Pixel 8 will still be a worthwhile purchase, especially if you can get it for its discounted price. It’s currently the runner-up for the phone with the best value in our roundup of the best smartphones because of all the amazing features that you can get for its relatively low price compared to flagship models. It all starts with its 6.2-inch Actua display that promises sharp details and rich colors, and a sleek and compact design that makes it easy to hold and use in one hand.

The Google Pixel 8 is equipped with the powerful Google Tensor G3 chip and 8GB of RAM, which are paired with the Titan M2 security chip for additional protection. The smartphone’s battery can last up to two days on a single charge, and its combination of a 50MP main camera and 12MP ultrawide camera at the back takes photos with exceptional quality. The Google Pixel 8 ships with Android 14, and it will receive software and security updates until 2030.

The Google Pixel 8 is featured in one of the most attractive Google Pixel deals available right now, ahead of the Google Pixel 9 reveal on August 13. The smartphone’s 128GB model is down to a more affordable $510, following a $189 discount from Amazon on its sticker price of $699. We don’t have any information on when the offer will end, so if you want to buy the Google Pixel 8 for this special price, you’re going to have to proceed with the transaction immediately. Any hesitation may cause you to miss out on the savings.

If you've got your sights set on the Samsung Galaxy Tab S10 Ultra, the good news is that it's already part of Samsung's tablet deals through its trade-in program. The device's 256GB model carries a sticker price of $1,200, but you can get an up to $800 discount if you trade in an eligible device, which means the tablet may be yours for as low as $400. There's no danger of stocks running out because it was just launched this month, but we still recommend hurrying with your transaction because the trade-in offer may change at any time.

The Samsung Galaxy Tab S10 Ultra is equipped with a massive 14.6-inch Dynamic AMOLED 2X touchscreen, but it's still comfortable to use because it's not too heavy to carry. Samsung ditches Qualcomm's processors in favor of the MediaTek Dimensity 9300 Plus, which delivers impressive performance improvements compared to the Samsung Galaxy Tab S9 Ultra while also improving the efficiency of its 11,200 mAh battery. The Samsung Galaxy Tab S10 Ultra is the first tablet built for Samsung's Galaxy AI, which offers a host of helpful features, such as Sketch to Image, which creates AI-generated artwork from your sketches.
