Google’s big announcement event is just days away (August 13), but why wait for the Pixel 9 series when this Best Buy deal has already knocked the Google Pixel 8a down to its lowest price ever? Yes, the phone I use every day for its handy AI features and flagship-quality cameras just got a 20% discount, no strings attached. The price is reduced to just $399 for a limited time. Plus, the Pixel 8a has only been on the market since May, so it’s not an outdated device anyway.

Do you need more power?

✅Recommended if: They just want a great Pixel device with cutting-edge camera technology and years of software support for far less than retail price.

❌Skip these offers if: You like to use the latest equipment on the market and are looking for a trade-in offer.

Google has already confirmed that it will announce the Google Pixel 9, Pixel 9 Pro, and Pixel 9 Pro Fold at the Made by Google event on August 13, but many people – including Android Central – are wondering if the new launch is even necessary. After all, early reports suggest that the Tensor G4 chipset will only bring minor improvements to the new flagship range, and while we’re happy to see some upgrades to the cameras, the Pixel 8 series has been no slouch in that regard from the start.

So if you’re a Google fan and can get a good deal from your carrier, you should definitely wait until the Pixel 9 lineup comes out next week. But if you just want a great phone that will be supported for years to come, these Best Buy deals are for you.
