The Best Smartphone for Your Buck-the Google Pixel 9a-Is Cheaper Than Ever at $350
"Google's A-series Pixel phones have been our top recommendation for a few years, because these devices pack a lot of capabilities despite the mid-range price. In recent years, Google has added the same processor as its flagship sibling. Here, that means the Pixel 9a is powered by the Tensor G4 chip that's in the Pixel 9 and Pixel 9 Pro series, and you can expect excellent performance."
"Pixel phones are known for their cameras, and you will be hard-pressed to find another dual-camera system like this for $350, let alone $499. The 48-megapixel main camera can deliver sharp, colorful, and bright photos, even in low light, and you get a 13-MP ultrawide for good measure. The selfie shooter ain't too bad, either. Better yet, the camera system is completely flush with the back of the phone. If you hate camera bumps, you'll love the Pixel 9a."
"The 6.3-inch display gets incredibly bright and has a 120-Hz screen refresh rate (something Apple finally added to its iPhone 17). And Google stuffs a lot of nice-to-have features, like Qi wireless charging, an IP68 water resistance rating, day-long battery life, and 7 years of software updates. That last one is a big deal because software updates mean your phone can last longer and stay secure."
Google's Pixel 9a is a midrange smartphone powered by the Tensor G4 chip, offering flagship-class performance for everyday apps. Amazon's Prime Big Deal Days discount reduces the price from $499 to $349. The phone features a 48-megapixel main camera and a 13-megapixel ultrawide, producing sharp, colorful photos even in low light, plus a capable selfie camera. The 6.3-inch display reaches high brightness and supports a 120 Hz refresh rate. Additional features include Qi wireless charging, IP68 water resistance, reliable day-long battery life, and seven years of software updates for long-term security.
