The Pixel 2 and 2 XL were released on October 19th, 2017, almost two years ago. While some folks are looking to the upcoming Pixel 4 for their next big upgrade — which is set to be announced on October 15th, 2019 — the Pixel 2 is still a great option.
Unlike Apple, Google doesn’t continue selling older-generation hardware at a discount when a new model has been released. In fact, Google stopped selling the original Pixel and Pixel XL in 2016 a full six months before the Pixel 2 and Pixel 2 XL was even announced. That means anyone looking to buy older Pixel models will need to turn to the secondhand market in hopes of finding a used model.
Originally priced at $649 (64GB) and $749 (128GB) in the Google Store, used prices however are much different. It really isn’t difficult to a cheap Pixel 2 on Swappa. Swappa is home to thousands of Android phones, including the Pixel 2, spanning across every color, size, and carrier. With prices being their lowest ever, it’s easy to find a great deal on a Pixel 2 and Pixel 2 XL.
