Forget Apple and Samsung, the Google Pixel 8a Is Back at Its Record Low Price Since Its Launch Last Year

New year, new phone? Amazon has the Google Pixel 8a as part of a limited time deal, knocking off 20% from its price. That brings it down from $499 to just $399—saving you a whole $100. It’s gone down to this price before in the past, but that is the lowest discount we’ve seen on it yet—it’s a great time to upgrade to it if your considering.

The Google Pixel 8a has a comfortably-sized 6.1 inch screen making reading emails and watching videos easy. The display is bright and vivid, even in sunlight. The Pixel 8a comes in a variety of colors including obsidian, porcelain, aloe, and bay. Battery life is exceptional, lasting over 24 hours on a single charge. Put it in extreme battery save mode and you can make it last of up to 72 hours before needing to plug it in again.

Versatile Photography

The Google Pixel 8a is capable of amazing photos. Magic Editor lets you make studio-like enhancements to any photo you take. You can improve the lighting and background or even move a subject with just a few taps. Photo Unblur can improve blurry photos, even ones taken with non-Pixel phones. Photos taken at night or in low light can be made vibrant with Night Sight and group photos can use Best Take to combine similar photos taken in succession into one picture where everyone looks their best.

This smartphone is durable. It’s got an IP67 rating to protect for water and dust, the display is scratch-resistant. Google touts it as the most durable A-Series design yet.

The phone’s got built-in Gemini — Google’s proprietary Ai assistant — because, well, I guess everything needs to have AI baked into it these days. It can be used to combine photos to make group shots easier, generate images, summarize unread emails, and more. Use Circle to Search to find what you need on Google faster. Literally just draw a circle around an image, text, or video to do a reverse image search on it.

The phone is unlocked so you can set it up with a carrier and data plan of your choice, be it Google Fi, Verizon, T-Mobile, AT&T, or any other major carrier.

Right now, you can save yourself a solid $100 when purchasing the Google Pixel 8a Android smartphone. That’s a 20% discount, bringing the price down from $499 to just $399. This is the same price it was going for during Black Friday weekend, so you know it’s a good deal.
