If you've been thinking about upgrading your smartphone lately, here's your sign: a sale that knocks some serious cash off of the Google Pixel 8. This flagship phone is one of Google's best and brightest, and you can get it for a great price right now thanks to Amazon.

As of Feb. 6, get the Google Pixel 8 for $399, which is $300 off its normal price of $699 at Amazon. That's 43% off its normal price.

Mashable's Alex Perry praised the Google Pixel 8 smartphone for its 120Hz display, "great cameras", "good battery life," and array of features. It boasts a 6.2-inch screen with 1400 nits of brightness and a 1080 x 2400 resolution. It's powered by the Google Tensor G3 under the hood, with 8GB of RAM and 128GB of storage.

As Perry mentioned, it's an incremental upgrade from the Google Pixel 7, but that doesn't mean it's a slouch of any kind. It comes packed with useful AI features and truly shines if you have photo editing needs, and plenty of other smart options that you'll want to use on a regular basis. Most of all, it's a crisp new smartphone that you don't have to spend an entire paycheck on.

If you're ready to go ahead and make the jump, you could absolutely do worse in terms of functionality and pricing, so grab this phone while it's still in stock, as it's already out of stock at Amazon.
