Black Friday,Cyber Monday Pixel deals 2018: Pixel 3 for $600, Pixel 3 XL for $700

If nothing but the best smartphone camera will do, these are your phones. The Pixel 3 and Pixel 3 XL may "only" have one lens on the back, but Google's software is so good, it puts dual-, triple- and quad-camera phones to shame. The Black Friday and Cyber Monday crush is the perfect time to pick up a Pixel 3 phone. The first few deals coming in for Google's flagship 2018 phone are promising so far. We hope to see the momentum continue.

Remember that Verizon is the only US carrier that sells the Pixel 3 phones, but you can also buy it unlocked from Google's online store. There aren't any Black Friday deals there right now, but we'll keep checking as Thanksgiving approaches.

Just so you know:

The deals below are current as of Nov. 14, and include Google, Target, Amazon and Best Buy.
