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.

SAVE $350: As of Oct. 10, the Google Pixel 8 Pro is on sale for $649 at Amazon. That's a saving of 35% on list price. Prime Day is a great excuse to upgrade your phone and save some money, and there's a handful of deals still live after the event.

The Google Pixel 8 is still a top-tier device, and the huge Amazon sale has slashed the asking price by 42% until tomorrow night.

I updated the Pixel 8a to the Android 15 Beta in mid-August, so some of the issues I've encountered might not affect users on a stable release. That said, Android 15 has been fairly stable during my usage.
