October Prime Day may be some time away, but Amazon is keen to let you save big even before the event kicks off. So long as you're after the incredible Pixel 8 Pro, that is. Yep, that gorgeous $375 discount we first spotted several weeks ago is still available on the 128GB configuration!
Update: For the second time (ever), Amazon makes its Pixel 8 Pro deal even better! Not only do you get a gargantuan $375 on the smartphone itself, but now you can also claim a Pixel Watch with LTE completely free of charge! Don't miss out!
Like we previously shared, the Google Pixel phone isn't exclusively discounted at Amazon. In fact, Best Buy gives you the same price cut on both the 128GB and the 256GB models.
The Pixel 8 Pro offers plenty of screen real estate with its 6.7-inch OLED display and smooth 120Hz refresh rates. You also get a Tensor G3 chip under the hood, which lets all that Google AI awesomeness shine. This bad boy sports AI-enhanced features like audio recording and summaries for meetings and auto-reply. Besides those, you get a pretty feature-rich camera app that lets you take your smartphone photography to a whole new level.
Let's not overlook the impressive software support Google has committed to. With this bad boy, you get seven years of software updates. That means your new handset will receive major OS and security upgrades until 2030.
Ultimately, the Pixel 8 Pro is a great option for Google fans. Granted, its chipset isn't all-powerful like the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3, but the device checks off all the important boxes. And it now costs less than $630 instead of almost $1,000, making it an even more irresistible choice.
But there's another option you might want to check out, especially if you have an old device you don't mind trading in.
We know, we know—the Galaxy S24 Ultra is significantly more expensive than the Google option. But get this: you can currently purchase the 512GB model (remember that Amazon's Pixel 8 Pro deal applies to the 128GB version) for $699.99 instead of $1,419.99 at the official store.
This promo includes a free storage upgrade on Samsung plus a $600 trade-in credit. This trade-in discount is applicable for Galaxy Note 20 Ultra, Galaxy S23+, and Galaxy S21 Ultra trade-ins in good condition, but you can save up to $750 with more contemporary options.
Since the S24 Ultra beats the Pixel on the performance front with its beastly Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 for Galaxy and features an S Pen, it's a perfectly viable alternative. And with these impressive trade-in discounts, the Samsung phone could, in fact, be the better choice for some users.
