Get the largely similar Pixel 6 Pro for just $399 instead of splurging $899 on 7 Pro

The Pixel 7 series is finally official, which means now is a great time to get the Pixel 6 Pro, and right now, you can save nearly 60 percent on Google's 2021 flagship.

The Pixel 7 Pro is largely the same as the Pixel 6 Pro, sporting the same design and featuring the same camera resolutions and the same battery capacity.

That's not to say there is nothing new. The Pixel 7 Pro is powered by the marginally better Tensor G2 chip, and comes with a brighter screen, a better ultrawide camera, improved zoom, and some new software tricks that will probably trickle down to the Pixel 6 Pro.

Overall, this is not a radical upgrade, and if you are looking to save some money, it makes more sense to go for the Pixel 6 Pro.

The base Pixel 7 Pro costs $899, same as the Pixel 6 Pro was at launch, and even though you can save up to $800 on it with pre-order deals, most of them have stipulations attached. If you want a no-strings deal, Amazon is selling the 128GB Pixel 6 Pro for $640, meaning you get to save 250 bucks.

Best Buy is offering a bigger discount, but its deal requires you to activate the phone, but there is no compulsion regarding being on a certain plan. The carried-locked models are available for just $399, after a discount of $500, whereas the unlocked model is going for $649.

This deal makes the high-end Pixel 6 Pro cheaper than the $449 budget Pixel 6a. The Pixel 6 Pro was one of last year's best phones and Google appears to have stopped selling it, so you might want to think twice before passing these deals up.
