The Google Pixel 8a drops to a new low of $399

<p>Our pick for the <a data-i13n="cpos:1;pos:1" href="https://www.engadget.com/best-android-phone-130030805.html">best budget Android phone[/url] is looking even better right now as the Google Pixel 8a has dropped to a new all-time-low price.

That's 20 percent off the regular price, and it's even lower than any of the deals we saw for it during Prime Day.</p>
<p>The Pixel 8a has the same Tensor G3 chip as the rest of the Pixel 8 lineup, which means you get access to the same AI features that its higher-end siblings have. We're fans of the cameras, 120Hz OLED display and battery life too (it lasted 20-and-a-half hours on our video rundown test). IP67 dust and water resistance is definitely welcome as is Qi wireless charging, even if it's not the fastest at a max capacity of 7.5 watts. Add all of that up and it's little surprise that the Google Pixel 8a earned <a data-i13n="cpos:3;pos:1" href="https://www.engadget.com/google-pixel-8a-review-the-best-midrange-android-phone-gets-flagship-ai-features-140046032.html">a score of 90 in our review[/url].</p> <span id="end-legacy-contents"></span>

<p>But that's not all, folks. The rest of the Pixel lineup is on sale too.

<p>This all comes with one key caveat in that Google is set to <a data-i13n="cpos:9;pos:1" href="https://www.engadget.com/made-by-google-2024-pixel-9-pro-gemini-new-foldables-and-everything-else-to-expect-on-august-13-181029588.html">unveil the Pixel 9 lineup later this month[/url]. Those are expected to have more fancy features (some of which will come to Pixel 8 devices eventually), a more deeply integrated Gemini AI chatbot, an upgraded chipset and a revamped camera system. If you want the latest Pixel device — which will come with an extra year of software support — it'll be worth holding off for a couple of weeks. However, if you need a new phone of the Android variety right now, you can't really go wrong with any of the above options.</p>
