You can take $100-$150 off Google's Pixel 7, Pixel 7 Pro, and Pixel 6a during a limited-time deal ahead of Black Friday, available from Google's store and Amazon. In addition, you could get one of these phones for free — or close to it — via Google's trade-in program, if you currently have the right Google Pixel, Samsung Galaxy, or iPhone.
