Amazon Prime Day is over for 2024 with the two day shopping event ending as we ticked over into 18th July, but if you missed out on a good deal for a new phone then you’ll be pleased to know there is still an excellent discount available for the Google Pixel 8 if you head over to John Lewis. The popular high street retailer is selling Google’s latest flagship phone for £499, a saving of £200 on the £699 RRP. John Lewis appears to have been selling the device for £629 recently, but that’s still £130 off.
Not only that but John Lewis is also offering up to an additional £150 off if you agree to trade in your existing phone – that could take the Pixel 8 down to £349, a real bargain price for an excellent phone. The discount depends on what phone you are trading in.
You can then get more money back as cashback depending on how much John Lewis values your old handset at. You just need to select which phone you’re trading in, and then enter the code GOOGLETRADE150 at checkout to process all your discounts.
The Pixel 8 model on sale has a 6.2-inch OLED display, 128GB storage, and is available in Obsidian, Rose or Hazel colours. It also has two exceptional cameras that match any of the best phones out there for image quality.
At the time of writing, you can get the Pixel 8 in the Rose colour for £454.99 from Amazon UK – not a Prime deal, just a regular discount. We’ve seen prices on Amazon fluctuate so much recently that we don’t trust it to stay like this for long, but right now that’s another way to save on the Pixel 8 without having to trade in your old phone.
Express.co.uk deputy technology editor Henry Burrell gave the Pixel 8 a glowing four-and-a-half-star review on its release back in November 2023, calling it “a superb small(ish) smartphone with top specs, great screen, incredible camera, and seven years of software support”.
Seven years is an excellent, industry-best software promise for a phone and means you could hopefully use this phone till 2031. That said, the battery may conk out by then, but the software – Google says – will be updated with the latest Android version and security patches until then to keep you safe from online threats.
