Pixel 9 Pro might be hogging all the spotlight in Google’s current line-up, but 2023’s Pixel 8 Pro is still an absolute powerhouse. You’ll occasionally see Sam using the smartphone to document the latest and greatest gadgets out there. Leaving it an extra year before grabbing one, you can now snag the former flagship for a fraction of its original price, as it’s never been cheaper.
Right now, US shoppers can snap up the 128GB Pixel 8 Pro in Blue or Black for just $599, a hefty 40% off its original price. I’ve never seen it lower. If more storage is a must, the 512GB Porcelain model is going for $972.30. Meanwhile, those in the UK can get 45% off the 128GB Black or Porcelain versions, bringing them down to a mighty tempting £549.

“Pixel 8 Pro camera system makes selfies sharp, close-ups close, and photos and videos crisp and incredible.”
Even by 2025’s standards, this thing is a beast. The triple-camera array is still one of the best in the game, standing tall with a 50MP main sensor, a 48MP ultrawide, and a 48MP 5x telephoto lens for those faraway shots. Post-launch updates improved on an already fantastic showing, introducing Video Boost and Night Sight Video, which make night-time and motion shots shine, And, of course, Magic Eraser remains a lifesaver for cleaning up rogue objects in photos.
The 6.7in LTPO OLED panel isn’t just bright – it’s blindingly bright. I rarely have my screen on full blast, but it’s nice to have the option when there’s a glaring sun beating down on you during your travels. It also boasts a smooth 1-120Hz refresh rate, ensuring buttery animations and power efficiency when needed.
Since this is a Google device we’re talking about, you can bet big on the software. Pixel handsets receive new features before any other Android brand, so when everyone else is just getting to grips with the latest AI shenanigans, you’ll already be a veteran. Better yet, Google has already promised support for Pixel 8 Pro through to 2030, keeping it feeling just as fresh as the day it originally released.
Don’t sweat making such a big investment in your next smartphone as Amazon provides you with a 30-day refund window if you’re not happy. As always, you can follow Club386 on Google News to keep up to date with the latest tech deals as and when they crop up.
