Google has now big savings on its Pixel 8a, which is 20 percent off for the base model with 128 GB storage from Best Buy or Amazon. This matches the best price we've seen and is still a rare discount since the handset was introduced a few months ago.

The deal covers all color variants of the unlocked Pixel 8a: black, green, blue, and porcelain. Unfortunately, the 256 GB model is regularly listed at $559, disappointing those who are looking for more storage space. Nonetheless, you can bundle a Google One Premium subscription for even bigger cloud storage, though at an extra monthly cost.

Why the Google Pixel 8a is a recommended mid-range to premium Android phone

Google's Pixel 8a (review) is geared towards those who want flagship performance and cameras without paying a premium on the standard Pixel 8 or Pixel 9 model. It features an improved 6.1-inch OLED display with full HD+ resolution, which now refreshes up to 120 Hz, producing a smoother output when you're regularly scrolling the web or gaming. More than the refresh rate, the panel is bright and has great colorimetry.

The Pixel 8a is a great compact phone, in fact, it's one of the very few handy smartphones out there. It has an aluminum build with rounder corners and a curvier frame for a better grip. Plus, it can withstand the usual water splashes and dips, thanks to the IP67 dust and water resistance.

The handset is powered by a powerful Tensor G3 SoC, which has a flagship processing and graphics performance. This means the Pixel 8a manages multitasking or running graphics-intensive apps and games without stuttering.

Like with the pricier Pixel 8, the Pixel 8a is a reliable camera phone with impressive shooting capabilities. It captures photos with accurate colors and well-preserved details even in most low-light scenarios. Powered with AI, it features tools like Audio Magic Eraser and Magic Editor.

I still remember how amazed I was when I first got hold of the Nokia 3210 back when I was a kid, and it was during that time I developed my love for technology, particularly for mobile phones. I started sharing my knowledge through writing in different blogs and forums back in Nokia Nseries era. I even make videos before where I put different phones side-by-side. Today, I'm still an avid enthusiast of smartphones, but my interests have evolved into smart devices and electric vehicles.
