The Google Pixel 9a is $100 off right now

The Google Pixel 10 is just around the corner, so we're starting to see some great deals pop up on the previous generation. The Google Pixel 9a is on sale right now for $100 off its usual price, a 20 percent reduction. If you've been considering your first Pixel, or had your sights set on the Pixel 9a, this sale is a great opportunity.

The Pixel 9a is Google's most affordable model in the Pixel lineup, but that by no means makes it a subpar gadget. We selected the 9a as our best budget Android phone, and we gave it a score of 91 out of 100 in our hands-on review.

This model has design, features and performance you'd be forgiven for confusing with a flagship model. The entire Pixel 9 lineup is powered by the same Tensor G4 processor, with the biggest difference being the Pixel 9a's 8 GB of RAM instead of the 12 GB found on the Pixel 9. Average daily users will almost certainly not notice a difference here, as the extra RAM is more for video editing, gaming or relentlessly switching between apps.

The 48-MP main camera and 13-MP ultra-wide rival cameras on phones that are twice the price, and its 5,100 mAh battery is the largest in the Pixel 9 lineup. The phone's 6.3-inch OLED display with a 120 Hz refresh rate and peak brightness of 2,700 nits is identical to the Pixel 9. The hardware on the Pixel 9a is simply among the best in its price range.

The Pixel 9a offers excellent value, and at $100 off, the value is even greater.
