Released back in the fall of 2021 with Google‘s first in-house processor under their hoods, the Pixel 6 and Pixel 6 Pro were initially met with a lot of enthusiasm from both regular consumers and reviewers.
But the bugs started surfacing very quickly after that aforementioned commercial debut roughly 18 months ago, and as time went by, more and more users complained of more and more issues.
The Pixel 7 and Pixel 7 Pro then came out with improved raw power and system stability, making virtually all hardcore Google fans instantly forget about the two’s predecessors. That’s of course true if you can afford the newer stock Android-running powerhouses, which arefrequently discounted but not deep enough to rival Woot’s latest Pixel 6 and 6 Pro offers.
The Amazon-owned e-tailer is charging as little as $379.99 for a 256GB Pixel 6 for the next three days (or while supplies last), making this particular storage configuration of the 6.4-inch handset cheaper than ever before in brand-new condition.
We’re talking about a variant that used to cost a whopping $699 back in the day, and if for some reason you prefer to do your shopping directly on Amazon.com, the e-commerce giant is selling the unlocked device at a decent but not exactly record-breaking discount of $270 of its own at the time of this writing.
While the ultra-affordable model available at Woot in undoubtedly limited quantities in a single Stormy Black color is technically listed as specific to Verizon, you should be able to use that on whatever carrier you want around the world with no problem, glitch, or jumping through hoops of any sort.
The Pixel 6 Pro, meanwhile, is clearly listed as “fully unlocked” at a killer $469.99 price in new, unused, unopened, and undamaged condition with just 128 gigs of internal storage space.
Despite that obvious shortcoming (for a smartphone that doesn’t come with a microSD card slot), this is still a very good deal for cash-strapped Android purists who like extra-large and silky smooth screens, as well as telephoto cameras.
The same device currently costs a good 35 bucks more at Amazon, where it’s actually sold and shipped by a third-party merchant that you may or may not trust more than Woot. Either way, these are excellent prices for… probably not the best phones around but pretty good value propositions nonetheless with stellar software support (at least in terms of length) and solid overall hardware.
