Pixel 2 XL drops to $699 on the Google Store

Richard Gao

As is customary when a new Pixel phone debuts, Google has dropped the price of the older model on the Google Store. The Pixel 2 XL now costs $699, a $150 discount when compared to its original MSRP of $849. Oddly, the Pixel 2 hasn't been discounted at all, meaning it's now just $50 less than its larger brother.

[Update: €349 in rest of Europe] Google drops Pixel C price significantly in the UK, now just £299

Scott Scrivens

The Pixel C tablet is something of a forgotten product. That has a lot to do with where Android tablets are right now: the category is all but dead by this point. The space has been taken over by cheap Chromebooks, many of which can now run Android apps and operate in tablet mode.

Richard Gao

Yes, you're reading that right - the Essential Phone (and its 360 Camera mod) are already getting another price drop, courtesy of Best Buy. Less than two weeks after the phone's official price drop to $499 (or $300 with the friends and family discount), Best Buy has dropped the Essential Phone's price by another $50 to $449.99. Plus, it's offering the 360 Camera, which has an MSRP of $199.99, for just $49.99. Essential is trying really hard to get rid of these things.

Essential Phone drops from $1,050 to $650 in Canada

Corbin Davenport

Late last month, Essential dropped the price of its flagship (and only) phone from $699 to $499 in the United States. While Essential said it lowered the price in order to help the company break into the smartphone market, it's also very likely that sales have been poor. A drop was also announced for Canada, but the new price wasn't revealed at the time.

[Update: Price changes now live] Essential Phone gets a permanent price drop to $499

Corbin Davenport

Besides the poor camera performance, perhaps the biggest complaint with the Essential Phone was the price. While the phone definitely had a premium design with a good software experience, the $700 asking price was a sore point for potential buyers. Now the phone is getting a permanent $200 price drop.

Richard Gao

When new smartphones debut, their predecessors either get discounted or get axed altogether. Google has chosen the former route for the first-generation Pixel and Pixel XL, which are now being offered for $100 off their MSRPs thanks to the introduction of the Pixel 2 and Pixel 2 XL.

[Deal Alert] HTC permanently drops VIVE VR to $599 ($200 off), probably to compete with Oculus

Scott Scrivens

For anyone wanting to get into VR, the number of options and different price points can be a bit overwhelming. At the lower end, you have Google's Cardboard or Daydream viewers, which can be used in conjunction with Android phones to offer a fairly basic VR experience. Devices like the Oculus Rift fill the middle tier, for those wanting a more robust ecosystem. Then at the top end, you've got the HTC VIVE. At $799 it's only ever been for those who are really serious about VR. HTC is hoping a price drop down to $599 will open it up to a wider audience.

Motorola has quietly dropped the Moto Z2 Force price from $800 to $720 [Update]

Ryan Whitwam

Motorola announced the Moto Z2 Force recently with a price of $800, a full $80 more than the first generation device. That seemed especially bold when Motorola is still pushing Mods that can cost as much as $300. Now, the company appears to have dropped the price without so much as a word. The phone is currently listed on the Motorola website at $720, the same as last year's phone.

Ting drops data prices to $10 per gigabyte after the 1st gig

Bertel King, Jr.

Ting is a pay-as-you-go mobile virtual network operator (say that three times fast) that relies on the Sprint and T-Mobile networks. For people who use only a few minutes or megabytes a month, the provider is a cheap way to own a smartphone. But if you measure your data usage in gigabytes, then the savings go away fast.

Every now and then the company announces price drops after it negotiates better rates. The last time around was nearly two and a half years ago. Today another wave is on its way. Now after the first GB of data, each follow-up is $10.
