This story is part of the Digital Trends Prime Day 2026 coverage

Amazon Prime Day lands tomorrow, but the biggest Prime Day deals are already underway, with big discounts available on Google’s Pixel range. We’re shining the spotlight on what to expect from the Prime Day Google Pixel sales this year and whether Prime Day is a good time to buy a new Google Pixel phone or not. Spoiler: The answer is probably “yes.”

The deals have begun, meaning now is the best time to grab yourself a discounted Pixel smartphone. Read on as we take you through our hopes for the sales event, what Prime Day Google Pixel deals we saw last year, and which deals you can grab already.

The best Google Pixel deals happening now

What Prime Day Google Pixel deals to expect

Prime Day is a key time for big discounts on all things technological, and for Prime Day 2021, set for June 21 and June 22, we’re expecting to see Prime Day Google Pixel deals that encompass almost the entire Google Pixel range. Expect to see bargains on the Google Pixel 3 range, the Google Pixel 4 range, and maybe even the latest Google Pixel 5. Those include the Pixel 4a and 3a range as well, in case you’re looking for a cheaper Pixel phone.

Expect the biggest discounts to be on the likes of the Google Pixel 4 XL and Google Pixel 3 XL, but the privilege of a bigger screen will still likely mean a slightly higher price.

What Prime Day Google Pixel deals we saw last year

Last year, we saw some massive discounts in the Prime Day Google Pixel sales. That included a huge 35% off the Google Pixel 4 XL bringing it down to just $650 along with similarly hefty discounts on the Google Pixel 4 too.

We also saw more modest discounts on the Google Pixel 3 range but they were good enough to lure people into slightly older tech for less.

Should you buy a new Google Pixel on Prime Day?

Prime Day is always a great time to buy new tech like a new smartphone. Typically, discounts are on a par with Black Friday plus you get the benefit of enjoying a new phone now rather than later.

Check out our Google Pixel 5 review to learn all about the latest Google Pixel phone before you dive into the Prime Day Google Pixel sales. Then move onto our looks at Google Pixel 4 vs. Pixel 4 XL and our looks at Google Pixel 5 vs. Pixel 4 XL so you know how best to upgrade.

Think about your budget too. If you can’t afford to buy the latest and greatest, a generation back with Google Pixel phones is no big loss.

WhatsApp app store listing open on iPhone

There's no shortage of messaging apps out there. The past decade has given us more options than we know what to do with, largely because smartphones demanded something better than plain old SMS.

Both the App Store and the Play Store are packed with apps that promise to revolutionize the way we communicate. Most of them didn't make it. The truth is, a messaging app is only as good as the number of people using it, and most apps never cross that threshold.

Nintendo Switch 2 Questions with Giovanni Colantonio
A couple of weeks ago, we posted our first hands-on impressions of the Nintendo Switch 2. I got to attend the first-ever hands-on event for the console, played about 11 games, and now I’m here to answer your biggest questions.

Question from @kennethcheung4938: We haven’t seen much of the new OS yet—is it similar to the original Switch OS, or is it a full overhaul? If it’s the latter, will we still be able to play games from outside our native region? For example, if I have a U.S. Switch, can I buy physical game cartridges in Japan and still play them in English?
