Today's best Google Pixel 8a deals
The Google Pixel 8a is a very capable android smartphone for a bargain price, packing in 128GB of storage and 8GB of RAM, as well as Google's Tensor G3 chipset for snappy performance.
Over in the US, you can get the Pixel 8a with 128GB of storage for a great price too, thanks to a 20% discount at Amazon. As with the UK deal, various colorways are on offer, and the 256GB version is also getting an 18% discount.
The Google Pixel 8a has always represented great value in our eyes, but this deal makes it even better. It comes equipped with the same Google Tensor G3 chipset found in the more power Pixel 8 models, as well as 8GB of RAM. The upshot is that we found performance to be pretty much the same between the 8a and the 8.
In our Google Pixel 8a review, we also highlighted its useful AI tools for word processing and photo editing, as well as its projected longevity, with Google committing to seven years of system updates.
As a result, we think the Google Pixel 8a ranks among the best Android phones given its value for money.
