Getting a good Pixel phone deal becomes significantly easier during a few key times each year, with spring sale season being one of them. As such, Amazon is offering the Google Pixel 9a for just $400 during its Big Spring Sale, marking a 20% discount and $100 off the normal price.
The last-gen A-Series device features a beautiful, compact display, impressive performance and cameras for the price, and an incredibly long-lasting battery. It also comes with a wide range of Gemini AI features, and a camera with a particularly good-looking Macro Focus mode. Add in seven years of updates and a IP68 water and dust resistance rating, and it’ll honestly leave many scratching their heads as to why this flagship is so reasonably priced.
✅Recommended if: you’re looking for an affordable modern phone that has speedy performance, a few Gemini AI features, and a bright, good-looking display; you prefer a phone that leans more toward the compact side of the size spectrum; you want to go with a phone featuring a super-long-lasting battery life and some impressive photo- and video-taking capabilities.
❌Skip this deal if: you can afford the newer Google Pixel 10a; you need a phone with industry-leading charging speeds; you prefer a larger phone to one with this smaller form factor.
The Google Pixel 9a substantially broke out from the A-Series reputation with a crazy-long battery life, a good-looking display, and Tensor CPU performance that you can hardly tell isn’t in the premium category.
The 9a launched last summer, offering over 30 hours of battery life, or up to 100 when using the Extreme Battery Saver mode. It includes 8GB of RAM, a Google Tensor G4 processor, and a 6.3-inch pOLED display with up to 120Hz refresh rates. Those who like smaller phones will love the 9a’s compact build, while it also comes with a 48MP rear camera, a 13MP Ultrawide rear lens, and a 13MP selfie cam.
