Amazon is offering shoppers an unbeatable deal on one of the newest smartphones from Google, the Pixel 7. The retailer is known for offering price drops on various handsets, including iPhone 14 and Samsung Galaxy S22, but the £140 price drop is pretty hard to find.
Only shoppers who know where to look will get the deal, as it's not featured on any of the retailer's 'lightning' or 'today's deal' pages. It now means Google's Pixel 7 handset can be bought for £457, not only is it hundreds cheaper than the initial Amazon listing but it beats Google and their current sale pricing too.
The £140 discount is only on the 128 GB model and only an option for shoppers who aren't fussed about the colour of the handset either, as the deal price is limited to the Obsidian Black colourway only. As it stands it's the only model we've seen on the retailer listed at this price, and it's all down to the seller.
Google has also slashed the price of the model down to give shoppers a saving of £100 (£499 for the handset) so it's worth keeping in mind if Amazon end this specific Pixel 7 deal early. Shoppers here also have the choice of splitting the payments over a 24-month plan for £20.79 a month.
The now £450 Pixel 7 device comes unlocked, so users can choose any UK provider network, but does not include any of Google's other accessories like the Buds Pro. Those in need of wireless earphones will pay anything from £600 for the two devices, which still includes a saving of £172.
We found the deal as it was pinpointed by the Amazon Choice logo after looking for the Pixel 7 model in the search bar. As the price drop is outside of any official sale, like the upcoming Prime Day on July 11 and 12, it doesn't appear on the site's main homepage.
Earlier this week the online retailer also slashed the price of the Samsung Galaxy S22 by £300 and whilst this deal is still available to buy not every S22 device on Amazon was listed at this price. So, those who don't look in the right place or go with the first product that comes up could potentially miss out on a huge saving.
Especially as a lot of third-party products are sponsored on Amazon, pushed to get to the front of search, they're not always the cheapest price. We've compiled a list below on the signs shoppers should look out for when buying products on Amazon, whether it's in a sale or not.
What to look out for when buying a discounted tech item on Amazon
First up is the seller information, this is key and the reason why the same product can be listed with various prices across the site, but shoppers shouldn't always go with the cheapest price they find. Anyone can sell a product on Amazon, so it's always worth looking at where the product is being shipped from.
Although not being sold on Amazon's Google storefront we can see on this deal more than 2,600 ratings from the seller, so we'd always advise shoppers to read the product reviews but also seller reviews too.
The next 'rule' is to always double-check the state of the device, as it's also pretty common to find second-hand models on Amazon. We've rated Amazon's scond-hand marketplace before and it can be a reliable place to buy tech, however if you're after a new phone you don't want to mix this up.
To do this look above the yellow 'add to basket' button and make sure you've selected the 'buy new' option. It's worth noting that the Google Pixel 7 deal price above is on a brand new model, shoppers can pay around £380 for a 'used- good' second hand model too.
