One of the biggest disappointments of the Pixel 9 series was that it launched without Android 15. Launching a new Pixel with the latest version of Android has been a long-standing tradition, but it seemed as though Android 15 just wasn’t ready for prime time.

This new wallet-friendly phone from Infinix offers as much bang for the buck as the Pixel 8a does, and even beats it in some areas.

Android 15 release date tipped, slated to officially roll out on October 15 to all the compatible Pixel smartphones.

There are heaps of great options on the market, but when it comes to the best overall Android smartphones, the OnePlus 12 and the Google Pixel 9 Pro are the first devices that spring to mind. So which is the better buy?

The Google Pixel 8 is available with 128 GB for $499 and with 256 GB for $670. The Google Pixel 8 Pro with 128 GB is going for $624. The 256 GB version is currently not discounted at a full price of $1,085. That’s a maximum savings of 38% off. Choose between colorways in bay, hazel, obsidian, porcelain, and rose.
