Google Fi Pixel 3 discount

Amazon’s Pixel 3 deal beats Prime Day, now $430

$430
Trevor Daugherty -

Amazon is offering a particularly notable Pixel 3 deal this morning, dropping Google’s flagship Android device down to $430 shipped. That’s down nearly $300 from the regular going rate and $39 less than our previous Prime Day 2019 mention. The larger Pixel 3 XL is now $599.99, which is also a $299 discount from the typical price. Pixel 3 sports Android 9.0 Pie, offers an OLED display with HDR, 12MP camera and more. At this price, it offers some of the best value for your money in the mid- to upper-tier of smartphones available currently. In our hands-on review, we called it the best Android device on the market and better than some of the latest generation iPhones.
