The Google Pixel family has long had a list of features that make it a go-to for die-hard fans. Whether it’s the vanilla Android experience or the powerful camera, the Pixel packs some features that set it apart from the pack. As Android nerds, we’re always on the lookout for Google Pixel deals. With the Google Pixel 5 finally here, we’re hoping that we’ll start to see bigger discounts on previous variants soon.

Here are some of the best deals on everything from the Pixel 5 to the original Pixel XL and everything in between.

Featured deal: Save $90 on the Pixel 4a 5G

The Google Pixel 4a 5G was already considered to be great value for its price point. Now a number of retailers have the Pixel 4a 5G on offer for $459 ($40 off), and Best Buy has gone one better. If you’re willing to activate your unlocked phone to a particular network, perhaps with your sights on a prepaid plan, you can pick it up for just $409.99 ($90 off).

It may technically be a half-gen step back from the Pixel 5 in name, but the Pixel 4a 5G was released around the same time as a mid-range alternative. It takes the best of the Pixel 5 and combines it with the value package of the Pixel 4a.

Editors note: These deals change frequently, so we’ll do our best to keep them updated and add new ones regularly.

Google Pixel 5 deals

Google’s Pixel 5 was a long time coming, and it turned out to be worth the wait. It’s not the highest-spec phone on the market but that wasn’t the aim. At $700 retail price, it ditches higher-end features like face recognition and the quirky Motion Sense gestures to bring you the stuff you love: a fantastic display, great battery life, and joyous software.

The Pixel 5 officially hit the market at the end of October. That means it’s not going to be seeing big discounts for some time, but you can do better than retail value here and there. As an unlocked option, Best Buy will offer you $50 in savings as long as you activate it to a network on purchase.

Check out the deal below.

In terms of savings on the Pixel 5 with a new phone plan, Verizon is offering the best deal. You’ll save up to $750 on the Pixel 5 with trade-in.

The best unlocked Pixel 4 deals available right now are from Amazon and eBay. There aren’t any hoops to jump through so you can bring the phone to your carrier of choice.

 Google Pixel 3a deals

You might miss features like wireless charging and a water resistance rating, but there are plenty of tradeoffs that are worth the money. The Pixel 3a and 3a XL use Google’s powerful 12MP camera and both phones even have headphone jacks.

Here are the best deals we could find on the Pixel 3a range. They’re unlocked so you should have no trouble getting set up on your favorite network.

Google Pixel 3 deals

While Google has ended sales of the Pixel 3 and 3 XL, you can still pick them up at good prices from other retailers. The Pixel 3 family comes with a Snapdragon 845 processor onboard and dual front cameras for great selfies.

The top unlocked Pixel 3 and Pixel 3 XL deals come from Amazon right now, and it’s a bit more affordable than the more recent Pixel 4. If you don’t mind an open-box model, you can get a bit of a bargain on eBay on the Pixel 3 XL too.
