With so many objectively great Android phones released over the last 12 months (and even in the last few days), most people looking to buy a new handset probably wouldn’t be caught dead even taking something from 2022 into consideration. Unless, of course, that certain something happens to be sold at a gigantic $620 discount.
Believe it or not, that’s currently the case for Google‘s 512GB Pixel 7 Pro, which was originally priced at $1,099 roughly 18 months ago. If you hurry, you can pay as little as $479 for this digital hoarder-friendly bad boy in brand-new, unused, unopened, and undamaged condition with a full 1-year manufacturer warranty included, which is obviously an unbeatable and totally unprecedented deal.
Yes, the same device has been sold by Woot at huge discounts a few times before, but this new limited-time promotion eclipses everything we’ve previously seen at any US retailers (big or small). You only have a few days to make your purchase at a new record low price of $479 here… or you could always opt to spend 10 bucks less directly at Amazon and settle for an entry-level 128GB configuration.
This particular Pixel 7 Pro variant on sale at Amazon-owned Woot comes packing a whopping 12GB RAM in addition to 512 gigs of internal storage space, as well as a Google Tensor G2 processor that’s… not ideal but it’s undeniably great for the sub-$500 segment.
Granted, the newly unveiled Pixel 8a mid-ranger is actually more advanced from a processing power standpoint, with a newer and faster Tensor G3 chip under its hood, but the rest of the specifications have nothing on the old but gold Pixel 7 Pro flagship. Of course, the Pixel 8 Pro is also worth considering… if you have a lot more to spend than 480 bucks on a new Android phone.
In many ways, the Pixel 7 Pro looks like the absolute best budget 5G phone available right now, with pretty much unrivaled camera performance (in the sub-$500 bracket), premium build quality, a beautiful 6.7-inch AMOLED screen, and outstanding long-term software support.
