If you are interested in getting a new Pixel smartphone, you might be eyeing the Pixel 9 series, which will be unveiled in India on August 14 and is expected to go on sale early next week. However, just a day before the official launch of the Pixel 9 series, Google India announced that the first batch of Made in India Pixel 8 devices has started rolling off the production lines.

If you want a new smartphone, specifically a Pixel, then this is probably the right time to buy one, as the previous generation of Pixel smartphones are now available at an all-time low price, which includes the Pixel 7, Pixel 7 Pro, and the Pixel 8a.

Out of all the previous Pixel smartphones, here are three models that are worth considering right now.

If you are looking for a Pixel smartphone that costs as much as most mid-range smartphones, then the Pixel 7 is a great pick. Interestingly, the Pixel 7 is available for a lot less than the Pixel 7a. Powered by the Tensor G2 chip, the Pixel 7 (review) comes with a 6.3-inch screen with a 90Hz refresh rate. The phone was launched with Android 13 and will receive Android 15 and 16 updates. For anyone looking for a compact stock Android smartphone, the Pixel 7 is a great choice.

This flagship Pixel smartphone with a triple camera setup is clearly one of the best camera-focused Android smartphones that costs less than the budget Pixel 8a. It has a premium design and is powered by the Tensor G2 processor with 12 GB RAM and 128 GB of internal storage, offering excellent performance and multitasking capabilities. It also packs a 2K resolution display with a 120Hz refresh rate. Considering the Pixel 8 Pro costs almost double that of the Pixel 7 Pro (review), it becomes an even more compelling choice for anyone looking for a new premium smartphone.

Want a compact Android smartphone with long software support? Then the Pixel 8a (review) is the smartphone to get. This is currently one of the few smartphones in the world that is said to have received seven major Android OS upgrades, which simply means that the Pixel 8a will stay secure and up-to-date until 2030.
