Amazon Prime Day is here (it’s officially two days long). We’re here to highlight the best deals from the thousands of offers available on the massive retailer’s storefront, especially products we’ve tested and recommend. Well, if you’re looking for a new phone, you’re in luck. One of the best Prime Day deals right now is on two Google Pixel smartphones: Pixel 7A And pixel foldsThese are rare deals and the lowest prices we’ve ever seen on these Android phones. We’ve also included some other Pixel deals below, including the first-ever price drop on Pixel 8A.
Updated July 17: We’ve updated the pricing with the Pixel Fold now cheaper on Amazon, and the Pixel 8 and Pixel 8 Pro now at their lowest prices ever.
Pixel Offers
The Google Pixel 7A (8/10, WIRED Recommends) was our favorite Android phone of 2023. It’s since been replaced by its successor, the Pixel 8A, but the 7A remains an excellent value. At $249, it’s a pretty great deal—$229 at Best Buy—We’ve never seen it go lower. Buying last year’s tech is a pretty smart way to save money, and the Pixel 7a still outperforms its peers. At this price, it’s one of the best smartphones you’ll find for under $300. It has great performance, great cameras, a bright OLED display, and years of software support. Don’t forget all the handy software features Google has to offer, all of which we detail in our guide to which Pixel phone should you buy.
The only issue we have is the battery life, which might last a full day with average usage but not much more. At this price, it might not matter as it is really hard to get a better phone for this money. Invest your savings in a good battery.
On the complete opposite end of the spectrum is the Google Pixel Fold (8/10, WIRED Recommends). The company’s first foldable phone is certainly fun — if expensive — but this deal brings it down to the lowest price we’ve tracked. That’s likely because Google is expected to unveil a successor next month, but why pay nearly $2,000 when you can get last year’s model for hundreds of dollars less?
The external display works like a regular smartphone, albeit wider and shorter than you might be used to. And if you need more space, the device folds open like a book, and there you have it: a 7.6-inch AMOLED display ready to serve all your multitasking or split-screen needs.
