Google Store Holiday Sale
Great prices are back. Google Store has a Google Store Holiday Sale, with Free Shipping.
Pixel 8 Unlocked $599 Free Shipping ($699)
Pixel 8 Pro Up to $750 off with Trade in and Activation
- You can even buy a used phone on eBay to get trade-in. Google pixel phones are valued because they don't include any bloatware or shovelware on them, and they tend to get the security updates the fastest.
The Google Store can be a good place to buy Google-branded products and devices, but whether it's the right place for you to make a purchase depends on your specific needs and preferences. Here are some factors to consider:
- Official Source: The Google Store is the official online retail outlet for Google's own products, including Google Pixel phones, Google Nest smart home devices, Chromecast, and other hardware. When you buy from the Google Store, you can be reasonably confident that you're getting genuine and brand-new products.
- Warranty and Support: Purchasing directly from the Google Store often comes with manufacturer warranties and access to Google's customer support. This can be beneficial if you encounter any issues with your device.
- Product Selection: The Google Store is the primary place to find Google's latest product releases. If you want the newest Google hardware, this is where you'll find it.
