October 9th update: Google has responded to Amazon’s Prime Day sale with its own discounts. The Pixel 8a has been discounted by $50, bringing it down to $449. There are also enhanced trade-in prices, which includes $135 for the Pixel 6a and a maximum value of $400 if the Pixel 7 Pro is handed over. Obviously this wouldn’t be a good trade to make.

At $459 instead of $999, the Pixel 7 Pro offers exceptional value especially when compared to its successor, the Pixel 9 Pro, which commands a hefty $1199 for the same 256GB storage capacity. This price difference makes the Pixel 7 Pro a very attractive option for those who want premium features without the premium price tag.

Looking for even more October Prime Day smartphone deals? Our shopping experts found discounts on several other Google Pixel models, including the Google Pixel 8a for its lowest price ever — at least, while it's still on sale for Prime Big Deal Days.
