The Google Pixel 4 and Pixel 4 XL are finally here, and they’re pretty awesome phones. The devices are available for pre-order until October 21—and during that time you can get some solid pre-order deals. Namely, if you buy one of the phones unlocked from Amazon and bundle it with a $100 gift card, Amazon will give you that $100 gift card for free.
Put another way, if you buy a Pixel 4 or Pixel 4 XL from Amazon, you’ll basically get $100 off the phones.
The standard Pixel 4 is probably the version most will want. The device has a Qualcomm Snapdragon 855 processor, coupled with 6GB of RAM and 64GB of storage, ensuring that it’s more than powerful enough for the vast majority of people. The display on the device comes in at 5.7 inches, with a 1,080p display and a 90Hz refresh rate, which should help make animations smooth and software responsive.
There are some unique features in the Pixel 4 as well. For example, the phone features Google’s Project Soli tech, which is essentially a built-in radar that allows you to control certain aspects of the software using hand gestures near the phone and without touching it at all. It’s perfect for skipping to the next song when your hands are dirty in the kitchen.
But the real attraction when it comes to Pixel phones is the camera—and the camera on the Pixel 4 is pretty incredible. The device features two camera sensors, including one 12.2-megapixel sensor and one 16-megapixel telephoto lens. Even more important is Google’s artificial intelligence image processing, which helps make for colorful, detailed photos every single time. It’s thanks to the image processing tech that the Pixel series has consistently offered some of the best smartphone cameras on the market.
The device also ships with Android 10, which is the latest version of Android. And, considering it’s a Google-built device, the phone will get updates on the day that they’re available, so you’ll always have the latest software.

As mentioned, the Pixel 4 XL is offering the same deal, and it’s probably the device to get for power-users. The Pixel 4 XL has a larger 6.3-inch display with a 1,440p resolution so it’s even better for watching movies and other videos. Almost everything else about the phone is the same—it’s still ultra-powerful, offers an awesome camera, and has the groundbreaking Project Soli tech.
