Step up to the Google Pixel 2 XL with this rare $500 discount

About six months ago, we took a look at the Google Pixel 2 XL again to see how it stacked up a year after its initial release, calling it "the most consistent flagship" device. Regularly sold at $849.99, today's your chance to save $500 off the Google Pixel 2 XL at Best Buy and snag it at one of its best prices ever — $349.99. This is the 64GB Verizon variant of the device, but if you choose 'Activate Later' on the product page, you can bring it to a different GSM carrier like AT&T or T-Mobile to activate the phone there instead.

The Pixel 2 is equipped with a 1080p 441ppi AMOLED display, unlimited Cloud storage, and 4GB of RAM, along with a 12.2MP f/1.8 rear camera, 8MP front camera, and the ability to record 1080p video at 120fps. This is an Android phone through-and-through, and it's even capable of bringing up the Google Assistant when you squeeze it.

Our initial review of the Pixel 2 gives a much more thorough explanation of its features, benefits, and downsides, so be sure to read that over as well if you're looking for more information.
