Deal | Google Pixel 8 smartphone hits record-low price thanks to intriguing discount

Shoppers who usually buy their new handsets from their mobile carrier might have taken advantage of one of the numerous deals for the Google Pixel 8. However, as many budget-conscious users are on cheap prepaid plans these days, a new sale for the unlocked model variant of the popular Android smartphone is arguably worth some attention.

To be more precise, the Amazon-owned online shop Woot is currently selling the baseline Pixel 8 with 128GB of mass storage for $539 including free shipping for Prime members. This compelling sale price is the result of a big 23 percent or $160 discount in relation to Google's official list price.

Please note that this smartphone deal only applies to the good-looking "Obsidian" color variant. Furthermore, this mentionable deal will expire on January 31 or earlier if sold out.

Nevertheless, prospective buyers should take a few minutes to read our detailed review of the Google Pixel 8, which turns out to be a well-rounded device with relatively compact dimensions by today's standards and a dual-camera setup that produces very good photos.

We've also enjoyed the bright 6.2-inch OLED display with 120Hz, but on the other hand, the Google Tensor G3 with 8GB of RAM cannot quite match the performance of Qualcomm's latest flagship SoCs.

Considering that the Pixel 8 is now approaching the $500 mark and should therefore be compared to other unlocked mid-range handsets, this deal offers a fantastic bang for the buck for bargain hunters who don't want to bind themselves to their mobile carrier by financing their new Android smartphone with an installment plan that often lasts a whopping 36 months.
