Google just announced the Pixel 8a literally yesterday, and it is up for pre-order now. Shipments will start next week, around May 14. Best Buy has an incredible deal for the Pixel 8a right now, where you can get it for as low as $399.
Basically, the way it works out is that it’s $100 off if you activate today on T-Mobile, AT&T, or Verizon. Additionally, you do get a $100 gift card with your pre-order. While that can’t be put towards your Pixel 8a purchase, it can be used to purchase some cases or accessories for your new phone. That is a great deal for the Pixel 8a.
With the Google Pixel 8a, you’re getting a great phone at $500, but even better at $400. This phone is sporting a 6.1-inch 120Hz 2000nit peak brightness display. It is powered by the Tensor G3 processor, with 8GB of RAM and 128GB of storage – there is a 256GB model available for $60 more.
Google kept the same 64-megapixel primary sensor and 13-megapixel ultrawide that the Pixel 7a had last year. Which is not a surprise, as Google does typically keep the same sensors for a few years. As it really puts a lot of faith into its computational photography.
With the Pixel 8a, Google is offering this phone in four colors. That’s Aloe, Bay, Obsidian, and Porcelain. Unfortunately, only the Obsidian color is available in the 256GB model.
Over the last few years, the a-series has managed to win the blind camera test among all of the other flagships released in that year. So we expect this to be the same this year. Making this an incredible option for the price.
