The big Google announcement event is just a few days away (August 13th), but why wait for the Pixel 9 series when this Best Buy deal has already dropped the Google Pixel 8a to its lowest price ever? Yep, the phone that I use every day because of its handy AI features and flagship-quality cameras has just scored a 20% discount, no strings attached, knocking the price down to only $399 for a limited time. Besides, the Pixel 8a has only been out since May, so it's not like it's an outdated device anyway.
Need more power?
✅Recommended if: you simply want a great Pixel device with cutting-edge camera tech and years of software support for way less than the retail price.
❌Skip these deals if: you like using the latest devices that hit the market; you're looking for a trade-in deal.
Google has already confirmed that it will be announcing the Google Pixel 9, Pixel 9 Pro, and Pixel 9 Pro Fold at the Made by Google event on August 13th, but many folks — Android Central included — have been wondering if the new launch is even necessary. After all, early reports indicate that the Tensor G4 chipset will only bring marginal improvements to the new flagship lineup, and while we're happy to see some upgrades to the cameras, it's not like the Pixel 8 series was a slouch in that department to start with.
So if you're a Google enthusiast and you can get a good deal through your carrier, by all means wait for the Pixel 9 lineup to drop next week, but if you simply want a great phone that will stay supported for many years to come, these Best Buy deals are for you.
