Google Pixel 8 or Pixel 8 Pro? Which one to go for?

Please suggest which one. I'm planning to get one for my girlfriend on contract (not sure which contract to go for). I'm unsure which one to go for however. Should I wait for few more days till the Black Friday Sale? Where can I get it for affordable price? I was looking into moneysavingexpert and found some but i'm rookie with these things. Pleae and thank you!

    What have you got to lose by waiting 4 weeks? Nothing

    I went for the Pixel 8 (with free buds) as couldn't justify the extra cost for the sake of the telephoto camera, and I'm super happy with it. The camera is great as is, and I like the size as slightly smaller and easier to hold than my previous phone.

    With it being so close to BF and a lot of brands starting the sales from Nov 1st, I'd hang on to see if there are any contract offers or added value.

    Ps. Heads up no plug comes in the box, so make sure to get a USB c compatible 30w one.

    Same here, I went for the Pixel 8 (with free buds). Mine was an upgrade from the Pixel 5. Really pleased with it, and it's small enought to fit in my pocket.

    Pixel 8 is a winner unless she already has a ‘Pro’ phone and will make use of the camera features.

    With Pixels you can always get a good deal if you are patient, there will definitely be some Black Friday deals.

    There are some good redemption deals with cashback but you need to be strict on the timeline of uploading your bills
