Now that Google has launched the third generation of its Pixel smartphones, it is only natural to wonder what the fate of the older phones would be. Google’s official carrier partner Verizon had stopped Pixel 2 sales last week, raising speculations about the future of the lineup. Luckily for fans that desired stock Android, the tech giant doesn’t seem to have any plans of discontinuing the Pixel 2 and Pixel 2 XL anytime soon and has introduced a price cut, at least for the larger model.

While it is natural for OEMs to reduce the price of their older offerings once the new crop of phones makes a debut, the price of last year’s Pixel 2 remains unchanged at $649 on the U.S. Google Store. However, there has been a drastic reduction in the price of the larger Pixel 2 XL, with the price coming down from $849 to $699. This makes the Pixel 2 XL more of an affordable high-end smartphone.
