Striking £456 saving on Google's newest phone might make you forget about Apple
Phone deals have been dropping left, right and centre this 2024, as retailers launch huge savings for those bundled into to long-term contract deals. And now it seems ditching a popular Samsung S24 or Apple iPhone 15 will see you save a huge £456.
It's all thanks to provider EE that's dropped an unmissable deal of Google's flagship phone, the Pixel 8 Pro. Shoppers who opt for the plan will pay £805 overall for the smartphone, that's £44 cheaper than the usual upfront price and that's not all.
The unmatched part comes in with a data saving you can only find at EE, as the provider drops the price of the adjacent Essentials Unlimited data plan. And it's this plan that will save you a huge £456 - you can get the saving here.

Martin Lewis issues 8-week warning to phone users ahead of huge price hikesThat's because the price has been dropped to £29 a month, meaning you'll pay a fraction of the usual price and have no cap on your data use. When combined with the monthly £21.54 price of the handset (on a 36-month contract), users will pay £29 a month on a fixed 24-month plan so you can change your data amount after two years if you wish.
The Google Pixel 8 Pro was only launched in October last year, so its multi-hundred-pound saving makes it even better considering the set is only three months old. If you're not keen on taking out a contract then Amazon's £150 cheaper price may be for you.
One of the standout features of Google's Pixel 8 range, which includes the flagship Pixel 8 Pro device and the standard Pixel 8 model, was the seven years of confirmed updates. This means shoppers will be able to upgrade their flashy new handset with the latest software each year - a feature that'll stop you from wanting to upgrade.
It does come with a catch eager shoppers should make note of. From March 2024 EE is raising its prices for existing customers in line with inflation so the total amount will rise by £3 (on average) each month. Sky, O2 and Virgin Media are rival retailers that have too announced price hikes, as some users face increases of 8.8%.
