Pixel 8 and the $150 and $200 8
Pro discounts which we'll talk about in a minute.

Meanwhile, those looking for the world's best smartwatch probably won't find it in Google's first-generation Pixel Watch.

Motorola ThinkPhone, with a rugged design at a price decidedly mid-range. .
Speaking of objectively good mid-ranges, the Moto G Stylus 5G (2023) isn't technically discounted itself, but comes with a decent (mid-range) Lenovo tablet at no extra cost added to the $400 list price of the handset.
