The Google Pixel 8a mid-tier smartphone is back on sale for $399 via Amazon<\/a>. This is close to a record-low price and represents a discount of 20 percent. Even better? The sale applies to multiple colorways, including mint green, light blue and white. This deal is for the 128GB model.<\/p>\n

This device topped our list of the best mid-range smartphones<\/a>, and with good reason. It\u2019s a well-designed phone that gets the job done. It features a powerful Tensor G3 chip, offers support for Google Gemini AI tools and includes an excellent camera system. The 120Hz OLED display is gorgeous and the battery life is on point.<\/p>\n

We called the Pixel 8a \u201cone of the best values of any phone on sale today\u201d in our official review<\/a>, and that was at the original $499 asking price. It\u2019s especially well-valued with today\u2019s sale. We even enjoyed gaming with this device, which isn\u2019t always the case with mid-range phones. The 8a also comes with IP67 dust and water resistance and 7.5-watt Qi wireless charging.<\/p>\n

There aren\u2019t any major downsides to this phone, though we do have a couple of nitpicks. The wireless charging, while convenient, is pretty slow. The display bezels are also on the thicker side, so you lose some precious screen real estate. Other than that, this is a near-perfect mid-range phone. It\u2019s also a full $200 cheaper than Apple\u2019s just-announced \u201cbudget\u201d smartphone, the iPhone 16e<\/a>.<\/p>\n
