Google's latest Pixel 8 smartphone is now an even more compelling buy, with Amazon offering steep discounts and a free smartwatch bundle.
The 128GB Pixel 8 has dropped to just $499, a $200 discount off its regular $699 price. But the deal gets even sweeter - Amazon is throwing in a free first-generation Pixel Watch (Wi-Fi model) for purchases made before September 21st.
Key details of this promotion:
- $200 off Pixel 8 (128GB model in Obsidian color)
- Free Pixel Watch Wi-Fi included ($279 value)
- Limited time offer, ends September 21st
The Pixel 8 remains one of the top Android phones of 2023, featuring:
- 6.2-inch 120Hz OLED display
- Google Tensor G3 chip optimized for AI
- Dual rear cameras with advanced computational photography
- 7 years of guaranteed Android OS updates
While not as powerful as flagship Snapdragon processors, the Tensor G3 enables unique AI capabilities like the Best Take photo feature.
For those prioritizing raw performance, the OnePlus 12R offers an alternative:
- Currently $449 ($50 off) at OnePlus Store
- Free OnePlus Buds 3 included ($99 value)
- Larger 6.78-inch display
- Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 processor
- Massive 5,500 mAh battery
However, the OnePlus only promises 3 years of OS updates vs Google's 7 years.
Whether you value Google's AI tricks or OnePlus' hardware muscle, both phones now offer excellent value with their current promotions. The Pixel 8 deal is especially notable for including a capable smartwatch at no extra cost.
As always, these limited-time offers may end quickly as stock runs out. Prospective buyers should act fast to take advantage of the savings.
