Google Pixel 2 v Galaxy S8 – Deals see prices crash but which is REALLY the best value?

It’s been a stellar year for Android devices with Samsung, LG and all launching stunning new smartphones.

Some of the standout handsets of the year have to be the award-winning and Google Pixel 2 with both offering the ultimate Android experience.

The Galaxy S8 wowed the world with its impressive looks, great camera and beautiful screen.

Meanwhile, the Pixel 2 gives fans of Android the purest experience yet with Google’s own-brand device stripping back on bloatware and annoying pre-loaded and duplicate apps.

The Pixel 2 also features a market-leading camera and fast Snapdragon 835 processor.

So, if you’re a lover of all things Android which device currently offers the best value for money?

Both the Pixel 2 and S8 have seen their prices plummet in recent months making it a very good time to switch to one of these flagship phones.

However, despite it only launching in October the Pixel 2 is now seeing some of the biggest and best price cuts.

Mobiles.co.uk has just revealed a deal which puts the new Pixel in your pocket for just £17.99 per month.

This deal includes 1GB of data plus unlimited calls and texts on the EE network.

There’s a £100 upfront fee to pay but even with this added the total over a two year contract is only £531.76.

The Pixel 2 cost £629 SIM-only when it launched a few months ago showing what a great deal this latest offer is.

If you want more data there is another deal for £22.99 per month which includes 2GB of data per month.

The total for this contract over two years is £601.76 although this can be reduced by £10 with the code DEALENVY10.

Despite the Pixel offering better value the Galaxy S8 is overall a better smartphone.

And, with the Galaxy S9 on the horizon there’s some good deals to be grabbed.

Samsung’s flagship can currently be purchased for £22.99 per month which includes 2GB of data plus unlimited calls and texts.

There’s a £125 upfront fee to pay with the total cost over two years setting users back £676.76.

Again, what makes this a good deal is the fact that the S8 costs more than this buying it directly from Samsung and that doesn’t include any data of minutes.

The offer also includes a free VR headset £119.99 and customers can save £10 off the upfront cost with the code DEALENVY10.
