Pixel 2 price plummets ahead of tomorrow’s major Google Pixel 3 release

After months of rumours and leaks, the new Pixel 3 and Pixel 3XL will be revealed at a major keynote in New York tomorrow.

These devices are expected to be packed with new features including a faster processor, longer battery life and improved displays.

The Pixel 3XL looks likely to get the biggest refresh with leaked photos revealing an edge-to-edge design and Apple iPhone-style notch at the top of the phone.

All will be revealed later tomorrow but ahead of the launch event Google’s current flagship, the Pixel 2, has been slashed in price.

The older Pixel 2 and 2XL are both excellent devices and feature one of the purest Android experiences on the market.
