<p>That's not quite the lowest price we've seen for the handset. It fell to $380 at one point. But this is still a good deal if you're looking for a great phone that won't break the bank. This price is for a configuration with 128GB of storage, but 256GB models are also <a data-i13n="elm:affiliate_link;sellerN:Amazon;elmt:;cpos:3;pos:1" href="https://shopping.yahoo.com/rdlw?merchantId=66ea567a-c987-4c2e-a2ff-02904efde6ea&amp;siteId=us-engadget&amp;pageId=1p-autolink&amp;contentUuid=a1dbfdfa-fd45-4f2c-bd17-0f9539990492&amp;featureId=text-link&amp;merchantName=Amazon&amp;custData=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&amp;signature=AQAAAZISh4S4cSoufwVwByt6FLC7kUmJjVxFnwYwDB6iNsgR&amp;gcReferrer=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.amazon.com%2FGoogle-Pixel-8a-Unlocked-Advanced%2Fdp%2FB0CYQ69B4T%2F" class="rapid-with-clickid" data-original-link="https://www.amazon.com/Google-Pixel-8a-Unlocked-Advanced/dp/B0CYQ69B4T/?th=1">$100 off at $459[/url].</p> <span id="end-legacy-contents"></span>

<p>The Pixel 8a is our pick for the <a data-i13n="cpos:4;pos:1" href="https://www.engadget.com/the-engadget-guide-to-the-best-midrange-smartphones-120050366.html">best midrange smartphone[/url] overall. We gave it a <a data-i13n="cpos:5;pos:1" href="https://www.engadget.com/google-pixel-8a-review-the-best-midrange-android-phone-gets-flagship-ai-features-140046032.html">score of 90 in our review[/url].</p>
<p>Thanks to Google's inclusion of the Tensor G3 chip, the Pixel 8a supports many of the same AI features that you'll find on flagship Pixel devices. We feel that the cameras are excellent, while that 6.1-inch 120Hz OLED display sure looks pretty.</p>
<p>The Pixel 8a has great battery life too. It lasted for 20 hours and 29 minutes in our video rundown test, actually beating out the Pixel 8 by 13 minutes. On the downside, wireless charging is pretty slow as it maxes out at 7.5W.</p>
<p>The bezels are a little thicker than you might like too, but otherwise the design is fairly slick. Another plus point is that the Pixel 8a is IP67-rated for dust and water resistance, so it should be somewhat durable.</p>
