If you're looking to upgrade to a new Pixel Pro phone, it's not a bad time. Currently, both the Google Pixel 7 Pro and Pixel 8 Pro are available at their lowest prices yet for unlocked devices, per price-tracking tools. The 256 GB Pixel 7 Pro is $435 on Amazon, while the 128 GB Pixel 8 Pro is $649 at Best Buy.
Google Pixel 7 Pro
If you're looking for a reliable phone with a great camera, long battery life, powerful software tools, and a nice screen, the Google Pixel 7 Pro ticks all of your boxes. The 7 Pro came out in October 2022, and our friends at PCMag named it the best Android phone on the market in their "excellent" review. Back in May, Woot sold the 256GB version for $439.99, which was even cheaper than holiday deals from 2023, and the current price is $5 below that.
Google Pixel 8 Pro
If you're looking for the latest Pixel with a more powerful CPU, higher screen resolution, slightly better resolution rear camera, and the latest AI features, spring for the Pixel 8 Pro. The extra $214 gets you the Google Tensor G3 CPU with AI capabilities, letting you take advantages of a range of features unique to the Pixel 8 Pro, like AI-powered photo edits, magic eraser, instant summaries, and more. (Check out PCMag's "excellent" review if you'd like to learn more.)
Regardless of which phone you choose, you'll be getting great value for your money and a great phone that will last many years. As Google continues to offer even older Pixels security fixes and quarterly feature updates (including, recently, the new "circle to search" capability), your Pixel will remain relevant for years to come.
