The shiniest new Android phone on the block is here, and thankfully it's not as expensive as Apple's latest flagship. Since its initial launch on 4 October, prices have been slashed on the Pixel 2 and its plus-sized alternative, the Pixel 2 XL . This January, it's available for a mere fraction of the cost of the iPhone X or even the iPhone 8. We're not sure how long these deals will last so grab them while you can.

Google officially launched the Pixel 2 and on 4 October at 5pm BST. You can read our in-depth review of the Pixel 2 right here .
