Amazon's weeklong Presidents' Day sale has just kicked off, but there's one Google Pixel deal that you could easily miss if you aren't careful. For a limited time, the retailer is carving a whopping 43% off the Google Pixel 8, dropping the last-gen flagship to its lowest price EVER.
The offer also makes the device a full $100 cheaper than the Google Pixel 8a, which means you could be getting a top-rated, AI-powered flagship experience for the price of a budget phone. Sure, the Pixel 8 was released back in the fall of 2023, but thanks to Google's seven-year software promise, most folks won't know the difference.
Google Pixel 8 128GB: $699 $399 at Amazon
As part of its sitewide Presidents' Day sale, Amazon is quietly slashing 43% off the Google Pixel 8 (in Hazel), knocking the price down to a mere $399. This last-gen flagship boasts a ton of innovative AI-boosted software features with long software support and cameras that could rival any 2025 phone. If you need more storage, upgrade to the 256GB version and you'll still enjoy a 40% discount.
👀Alternative deal: Get $400 off the Google Pixel 9 alongside 50% off one year of the Unlimited plan at Mint Mobile
✅Recommended if: you want a phone with AI-powered performance, outstanding cameras, and years of guaranteed software support; you don't mind using a device from 2023.
❌Skip this deal if: you don't mind spending more for the latest and greatest Android phones.
Despite its (slightly) advanced age, the Google Pixel 8 continues to earn its 4.5/5-star rating thanks to a seven-year software promise, a suite of innovative AI features, and powerful camera tech that could easily rival any 2025 phone. The 6.2-inch AMOLED display is also a joy to use, plus you get a reliable 4,575mAh battery and the power of the Tensor G3 chipset.
Sure, if money is no object, the newer Google Pixel 9 is undoubtedly the better phone, but when you directly compare the two, you quickly discover that the 2024 flagship is not that much of an upgrade. The newer phone has slightly faster performance and a bigger battery, but do these improvements justify spending $400 more? The choice is yours, but if you're simply looking for bang for the buck, this Pixel 8 deal can't be beat.
