The Google Pixel 8a is the best budget phone and it's down to a record-low price

The Google Pixel 8a is one of the best Android phones, especially for those who want a very capable device without having to pay through the nose for it. The full retail price of £499 will put many off, but thanks to a new deal you can pick up the Google Pixel 8a at Amazon for £344.99 (was £499). That's the lowest price we've ever seen it.

There's a lot to love about The Pixel 8a, too. Boasting Google's latest mobile AI tools as well as seven years of Android updates, you'll be guaranteed to stay ahead of the curve. On top of that, the design is colourful and durable. You won't find so much of the future in any other phone that’s this affordable.
