Forget Apple and Samsung, the Google Pixel 8a is back at its lowest price since its launch last year
New year, new phone? Amazon has the Google Pixel 8a as part of a limited-time deal, knocking 20% off its price. That brings it down from $499 to just $399 – saving you a whopping $100. It’s dropped to this price in the past, but this is the lowest discount we’ve seen for it so far – it’s a great time to upgrade to it if you’re considering it.
The Google Pixel 8a has a comfortably sized 6.1-inch screen that makes it easy to read emails and watch videos. The display is bright and vivid even in sunlight. The Pixel 8a comes in a variety of colors including Obsidian, Porcelain, Aloe and Laurel. Battery life is exceptional, lasting over 24 hours on a single charge. Put it in extreme battery saver mode and you can make it last up to 72 hours before you need to turn it back on.
A variety of photography
Google Pixel 8a is capable of amazing photos. Magic Editor lets you make studio-like enhancements to every photo you take. You can enhance the lighting and background or even move an object with just a few taps. Photo Unblur can improve blurry photos, even those taken with non-Pixel phones. Photos taken at night or in low light can be brought to life with Night Sight, and group photos can use Best Take to combine similar shots taken in succession into a single photo where everyone looks their best.
This smartphone is durable. It has an IP67 rating for water and dust protection, the display is scratch resistant. Google is touting it as the most durable A-series design yet.
The phone has built-in Gemini – Google’s own AI assistant – because, well, I guess everything has to have AI baked into it these days. It can be used to combine photos to facilitate group photos, 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 perform 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 another major carrier.
Right now, you can save a solid $100 when you buy the Google Pixel 8a Android smartphone. That’s 20% off, bringing the price down from $499 to just $399. That’s the same price it was on Black Friday weekend, so you know it’s a good deal.
