If you already use Google for your email, calendar and cloud storage, it’s tough to compete with the convenience offered by a Google Pixel phone. There are three different versions of Google’s latest phone, the Pixel 6, and all three earned a spot on our list of the best phones for 2022.
The powerful Pixel 6 Pro muscled its way into one of the top three spots overall, while the standard Pixel 6 was named the best Android phone for under $600. And for those who want an even more affordable option, the brand-new Pixel 6A is featured as the best Android phone under $500. But no matter which model works best for your needs, there’s no reason to pay more than you have to.

If affordability is your top priority, you’ll probably want to opt for the budget-friendly Pixel 6A.
Pixel 6A deals
CNET’s Lisa Eadicicco called Google’s affordable next-gen Pixel 6A the “best Android phone under $500.” It’s slightly smaller than the full-size Pixel 6, and features a 6.1-inch OLED display with a refresh rate of 60Hz. It’s equipped with 128GB of storage and 6GB of RAM, which is slightly less than the standard Pixel 6 has, but is still more than sufficient for most people’s needs. It also boasts 5G capabilities and support for Wi-Fi 6 for lightning-fast browsing. It’s already a solid value at its usual price of $449, but we’ve rounded up some of the best deals and offers out there so you can pick one up for even less.
If you don’t want to be tied to a carrier, Amazon has the best offer out there at the moment. Right now, you can save up to $60 on unlocked models with no strings attached. That means no trade-ins or lines of service required to get the discount. You can save $60 on the chalk color variant, or $40 on charcoal and sage variants with all three colors in stock and ready to ship.
If you’re an ATT, Verizon or T-Mobile customer looking to add a new line of service, Best Buy has some great offers available right now. First-time ATT and T-Mobile customers, or those who want to add a new line to their existing plan, can get $100 off the usual price, while ATT customers can save $50. While Best Buy does partner with Sprint and Google Fi, there aren’t any deals available to those customers at the moment. The discounts will be applied in the form of monthly bill credits.
Both new and existing ATT customers can grab the Pixel 6A for just $2 per month when purchasing on an installment plan and with activation on a qualifying unlimited plan. That locks you into a 36-month plan, but saves you $398 compared to ATT’s price, or $377 compared to the price from Google.
And if you want a pair of earbuds to match, you can save 50% on a pair of Pixel Buds by adding them to the cart with your Pixel 6A.
Customers adding a new line of service at Verizon can get the Pixel 6A completely free with activation on a qualifying 5G unlimited plan. However, those who only want to upgrade an existing line will have to pay full price, but both new and existing customers can save $70 on a Samsung Galaxy Watch 4 with the purchase of a 6A and activation on any data plan.
Pixel 6 and Pixel 6 Pro deals
The Pixel 6 and 6 Pro are Google’s latest flagship phones. They sport an all-new design, improved cameras and much more inside. From features like Magic Erase to incredible picture quality, there’s a lot to like about these phones. The 6 Pro can get pretty expensive, so you’ll want to make sure you’re getting the best Pixel 6 or 6 Pro deal that you possibly can. We’ve rounded up all the current offers below and will continue to update them as new ones become available.
Whether you currently have Verizon and want to upgrade your phone or are looking to make a change, Verizon has a pretty great offer right now. Both new and existing customers can get the Pixel 6 for free, or save up to $800 on the Pixel 6 Pro, with an eligible trade-in and activation on a qualifying 5G unlimited plan. Those adding a new line will also get a free $200 Verizon gift card. Verizon is also offering $100 off 256GB models for both the 6 and 6 Pro so that you can get a storage upgrade for free.
If you happen to need more than one new phone, Verizon is also offering a deal where you can pick up a second Pixel 6 for free, or save $800 on a second 6 Pro, with the purchase of your first and activation on a qualifying 5G unlimited plan. You can also save 50% on a pair of Pixel Buds A-Series by adding them to your cart with your Pixel 6.
ATT has different offers available on the two different Pixel 6 models right now. For those who want the standard Pixel 6, ATT currently offers $200 off over the course of 36 months when you activate the phone on an eligible unlimited plan. That brings the monthly cost down to just $15. Those who want the step-up Pixel 6 Pro can save up to $800 when they trade in an old device and activate it on a qualifying unlimited plan.
And, if you want a new pair of earbuds to go with your new phone, you can also save 50% on a pair of Google Pixel Buds A-Series earbuds when you purchase a new Pixel phone. All you need to do is add both items to your cart and the discount will be automatically applied.
Best Buy has partnered with ATT, T-Mobile and Verizon, so you can shop some carrier-specific deals through the tech retailer. Right now, ATT and Verizon customers can save $250 on the Pixel 6 and 6 Pro with activation on a qualifying installment plan. T-Mobile customers can save $200 on the Pixel 6 and $250 on the 6 Pro when upgrading an existing line. T-Mobile is also the only carrier offering a discount when your purchase your phone outright, rather than in monthly installments like ATT and Verizon.
T-Mobile no longer carries the Pixel 6 Pro, but the carrier is still offering some great deals on the standard Pixel 6. There are two different promotions running right now, one for new lines and one for existing customers. The first offer, for existing customers, saves you up to $300 on the purchase of a Pixel 6 via 24 bill credits. You’ll need to trade in an eligible smartphone to get the deal here, and the trade-in values vary based on the model you are trading in.
The second option requires no trade but you have to add a line on a qualifying plan. With this, you can score a new Pixel 6 for $99, after 24 monthly bill credits. These are both great options for anyone who wants to get a new Pixel 6 in their pocket for less.
