Google Pixel price cut prepares you to go back to school

It's time to stow away the beach gear and pick up a smartphone. The bells of education are ringing and calling. While using smartphones inside classrooms generally still earns a not so friendly reminder from the teacher, mobile devices and gadgets these days do more than just distract students. They can actually help them learn or, at the very least, keep them from going insane. It's timely then, that Google just put up a "Back to School" promo that will let you grab a Pixel or Pixel for $200 less. You might even want to throw in a free Daydream View headset while you're at it.

Despite the launch of the Galaxy S8 or even the HTC U11, and despite what former Google exec Vic Gundotra said, the Google Pixel remains one of the best Android phones in the market, both in terms of the pristine version of Android running inside as well as its camera, which doesn't even need OIS to get the job done. However, it is also one of the more expensive Android handsets in the market. That is, unless you buy one now

Thanks to this seasonal promo, the Google Pixel XL is now $200 cheaper, previously $769 but can now be yours for only $569. The smaller Google Pixel also gets a smaller $125 discount, from $649 down to $524. But if you put in an order now, you also have the chance to get a free Daydream View VR headset. Simply put in both a Pixel and a Daydream View in the shopping card and get the latter completely free. As long as supplies last that is.

Google also has some discounts for when you're out of the classroom and need to focus at home. That comes as a $20 discount on a purchase of a Google Home, from $129 to $109, which you can use with Google Play Music to play your favorite study music. Of course, Google Home can do more than just play music, especially when you're done with school work.

If a Google Home is a bit too much for your "chillax" needs, you have other multi-purpose deals available as well. If you buy a 3-pack Google WiFi pack for $129, you will also receive a promo code for a Chromecast Audio. That's a free $35 add on for a WiFi mesh that you'll be using before, during, and after the academic year.
