Google is offering deep discounts on the Pixel 6 lineup for the most sacred corporate holiday, Amazon Prime Day. You can get $200 off the Pixel 6 Pro, bringing the MSRP down from $899 to $699, while the Pixel 6 gets $100 off, dropping from $599 to $499. Offers are now available on the Google Store (or Amazon or Target).

We're big fans of both phones, as it looks like Google has finally found a winning combination for its long-running smartphone lineup. The combination of a low price, good specs, quick updates, and the unique camera bar design make these phones a great buy, provided you live in one of the countries where Google sell the phone. In the US, both phones were already one of the best deals you can get for a 2022 smartphone, with their MSRPs $300 less than a comparable Samsung phone. With discounts, they are quite hard to pass up.

If you need a quick recap, the Pixel 6 Pro has a 6.7-inch 120Hz OLED display, 12GB of RAM, and a 5,000mAh battery, while the Pixel 6 has a 6.4-inch 90Hz display, 8GB of RAM, and a 4600mAh battery. Both feature Google's bespoke Tensor SoC (by Samsung), a new camera system with a 50MP main sensor, Wi-Fi 6E and Android 12, with a promise of three years of updates. major updates.

Google's upcoming Pixel 6a launch at the end of the month looks set to shake up the US Android market, and Google may try to clear some inventory by then. The Pixel 6a offers the same flagship-class SoC as the more expensive Pixel 6 and 6 Pro, but for $449. There are of course some compromises, like a smaller 6.1-inch 60Hz display, 6GB of RAM and a 4300mAh battery, but it's still a beast of a device for the money. There's also the Pixel 7 Pro, which has already been officially announced for release later this year.
