The Google Pixel deals are flying right now with hundreds in savings on both the latest series 9 models and previous-generation devices. But we wanted to make sure the more affordable, latest-generation Pixel 8a didn’t get lost in the shuffle, as it is now seeing straight up $100 price drops courtesy of Amazon and elsewhere. The 128GB in all four colorways is down to $399 shipped and the 256GB is going for $459 shipped

As of right now, the Pixel 8a remains the brand’s latest mid-tier offering, despite the new flagship Series 9 devices landing last year. It is deigned to provide a trimmed down Pixel experience without getting anywhere near as pricey as the standard and pro-grade Google handsets – with today’s deal it is still $100 less than the massively discounted Pixel 7 Pro from a few years ago. 

The discounts we are tracking today are on par with the lowest we have tracked outside of a limited offer that had the Pixel 8a starting at $379 for the fall Prime day festivities. 

While it might not be a flagship device, it is still a compelling option for folks that don’t need all of the bells and whistles, and at a much lower price. Everything is centered around a 6.1-inch Actua display fronted with a scratch-resistant Corning Gorilla Glass 3 and protected from spills, dust, and more with an IP67 rating. In standard mode the battery can last for up to 24 hours (up to 72 hours in Extreme Battery Saver mode) and you’ll still land some Google AI tech here:

…search anything right from the app you’re in, just by drawing a circle around an image, text, or video; get a summary of emails and brainstorm ideas with Gemini; and avoid spammers with Call Assist.

Google Pixel 8a features:

The best-in-class camera with Google AI helps you take photos and videos you won’t believe you actually took. And make edits like magic. Did someone blink or look away? With Best Take, you can combine similar photos into one where everyone looks great. Audio Magic Eraser reduces distracting noises in video like cars and wind, so you can hear the sounds you want. Use Magic Editor to change the background, move an object, make it disappear with Magic Eraser, and more. Just draw a circle around an image or text, even in a video. Google AI finds it fast – right from the app you’re in.
