It’s no secret that Google’s Pixel 10 devices are some of the best smartphones available today. But with a starting price of $799 for the Pixel 10, it’s understandable that some buyers might want to find deals, trade-in offers or extra savings by investing in older Pixel phones.
Our CNET shopping team has combed the internet for deals on Pixel 10 series phones that can help you nab one for free, or for hundreds off. Plus, Google recently announced its Google Pixel 10A. You can preorder this phone and save hundreds. However, shipping starts on March 5.
The Pixel 10 phones include high-quality cameras, state-of-the-art security features and a long battery life. In fact, this phone was one of our favorites. Google’s phones already beat Samsung or Apple on price, but the deals we’ve rounded up can drop those prices even more. These deals are perfect for anyone hoping to get a new phone.
We’ve found deals that’ll shave hundreds of dollars off the cost of a Google Pixel 10 and Pixel 9 when you trade in an old device or open a new line with certain carriers. You’ll also still find limited — and we mean limited — stock of the Pixel 8 series, which remains a reliable option and can help you pocket even more savings.
With more than five years of experience covering tech bargains, Adam Oram is one of CNET’s dedicated deals experts. He’s searched the web for the best discounts, trade-in savings and other Pixel offers and rounded them up below. He and other members of our deals team will continue to update this page as bargains come and go, so check back often for the latest discounts.

Best Pixel 9A deals
The Pixel 10A has been announced, but you still have to wait to get your hands on one. For now, the Pixel 9A is the latest readily available model in Google’s budget-friendly A-series lineup and a pretty incredible value at just $499 — matching, or even exceeding, the main Pixel 9 in some categories.
It has a more substantial battery (although slower charging) and features the same Tensor G4 chipset as the 9, which means it also supports Gemini AI features. It also features the same screen as the basic Pixel 9, with a 6.3-inch OLED display and 2,700 nits of brightness. You’re sacrificing a bit of memory at just 8GB of RAM, along with some image resolution on the rear camera. You can get all the details in our full breakdown.
Google isn’t offering any direct discounts at the moment, but if you’re looking to join Google Fi, new customers will get $499 back in bill credits, which will net you the basic 128GB model free.
Google also has its own trade-in program that can save you up to $625 in exchange for your old phone, which could also get you a free Pixel 9A, although remember that the best trade-in prices are paid for more recent phones.
AT&T isn’t currently offering direct discounts on the Pixel A. However, there are several ways to save despite this. There’s no trade-in required, but you can exchange your old phone for even more savings. Discounts are applied as bill credits over 36 months. If you’re looking to switch, AT&T is offering up to $800 to pay off your phone.
If you don’t have the Unlimited plan, you can still save $200 when you open a new line, no trade in needed.
T-Mobile is offering multiple ways to get this Google phone free. Adding a line on most plans will score you either the 128GB or 256GB model for free. Don’t want to add a new line or don’t have a trade-in? The phone is also $200 off, bringing it down to an affordable $300 for a limited time.
There are no direct discounts from Amazon right now, but we will update this list when that changes.
Note: We are seeing several discounts from third-party sellers, which we typically recommend avoiding because many are unverified.
The Pixel 9A is only available at its full price at Best Buy right now. But if you chose to connect the phone to Verizon or AT&T, you can get an additional $100 off. That brings the starting price to just $399.
Pixel 8 and 8 Pro deals
Released in late 2023, the Pixel 8 and 8 Pro are now two generations old. They feature a next-gen Tensor G3 processor, convenient AI features and improved screens. Right now, these models — and deals on them — are a little scarce.
You can save hundreds when you trade in your old phone. Discounts will vary depending on your device’s year, condition and configuration. More recent devices, like an iPhone 16 Pro Max, will net about $580, but switching from that to a Pixel 8 will be a bit of a downgrade. You’d be looking closer to the $200 mark for something from a few years ago.
What is the best Pixel deal right now?
If you’re looking to get the most bang for your buck right now, Google’s deals on the Pixel 9A are a good value. You can save with an eligible trade-in. Keep in mind, the savings will depend on the device you hand over. Plus, new Google Fi customers can pick up the basic 128GB model for free without trading in a device. However, if you don’t mind waiting, you can preorder the Pixel 10A now to secure an even better deal.
Pixel Fold deals
The Pixel Fold was Google’s first foldable device and it’s the predecessor to the Pixel 9 Pro Fold. It features a 5.8-inch cover screen, a 7.6-inch OLED internal screen, 12GB of RAM, a Tensor G2 processor and an intimidating $1,799 starting price. It’s getting pretty tough to find these original foldables in stock — especially with a new model on the shelves. Right now, there aren’t a lot of deals but you might find a refurbished model at a decent price.
