The Google Pixel 8 is the talk of the tech world after its launch today. While it looks like it will live up to the hype, it’s also seen a price hike since the Pixel 7. The phone retails for $699 in the US, while its stablemate, the Pixel 8 Pro, will set you back a cool $999. But it is possible to get a Google Pixel 8 for free, sort of.
How do I get a Google Pixel 8 for free?
As you might expect, very few people will be handing you a free Pixel 8 out of the kindness of their hearts. You might see some giveaways here and there, but between the chance of them being scams and the sheer volume of applicants, they’re not a reliable way of securing yourself a Google Pixel 8 for free. The only surefire way you’re going to avoid paying the retail price of the handset is by signing up for a carrier plan, a trade-in, or both. And how “free” the phone will be is arguable.
