Google’s towering Pixel 7a mid-ranger gets its first sweet post-Black Friday discount،
You know how many of the best phones got nice pre-holiday discounts (well) before Black Friday a few months ago and then incredibly kept their drastically reduced prices until Christmas and some of them even beyond this point?
Well, the Pixel 7a is… not one of those devices, going from an already reasonable list price of $499 to an absolutely irresistible $374 in November, but returning to “normal” in December for leaving last minute Christmas shoppers without any opportunities. anything to save even a few dollars.
People who have been patient have just that chance now, although you'll have to settle for a slightly more modest markdown this time around. We're talking “just” $100 that you can currently shave off the aforementioned regular price of an unlocked product. Pixel 7a with 128 GB of internal storage space and without any conditions, which is obviously not to be disdained in terms of New Year's promotions.
At its new, significantly reduced price, the 6.1-inch Tensor G2-powered is undoubtedly one of the most budget-friendly 5G phones on the market, taking on the likes of the Motorola Edge (2023) and ThinkPhone, as well as the Galaxy Samsung A54. Mid-range 5G.
Considerably cheaper than something like the Galaxy S23 FE right now, it's clearly not the best Google home smartphone money can buy in (early) 2024. But the Pixel 7a really isn't that different from the “high-end” Pixel 8, which is much more expensive even after its latest price cut.
That Tensor G2 processor is arguably fast enough for a budget mid-range handset with impeccable software support, while the battery life and camera capabilities are almost too good for the Pixel 7a's price. Then you have a respectably sharp and smooth OLED display with 2400 x 1080 pixel resolution and 90Hz refresh rate technology, plus a premium(ish) design made from a combination of glass, aluminum and plastic capable of surviving immersion in water with relative ease.
