Google Pixel 7a
Google/CNET

The affordable Google Pixel 7A is a great way to get a flagship-like phone without paying flagship prices. And though a number of Pixel 7A deals have popped up of late, the current $150 discount at Amazon is the best we've seen to date. With Google I/O 2024 confirmed for May and a Pixel 8A likely to be on the way, the Pixel 7A is down to just $349 there for a limited time, marking a new all-time low for the device. Note that while there are no on-screen or coupons required here, this is a price that might not stick around for all that long so make sure to factor that into your buying decision. Missed out? Best Buy's matching the $349 price and Google has also slashed the price by $150, too.

Even though the Pixel 7A is designed to be an entry-level device, it's still plenty powerful and has already taken the crown as the best phone under $500. It's powered by Google's Tensor G2 chip, the same chip found in the Pixel 7. It also has a 64-megapixel camera and a 6.1-inch, 90Hz display, plus nice extras such as face unlock and wireless charging -- notable upgrades over previous Pixel A phones, which help close the gap between the affordable Pixel line and more premium flagships. Mixed usage battery life should be up to 24 hours, too. 

If the Pixel 7A model isn't quite what you're looking for, there are plenty of Google Pixel deals across the whole range. Prefer your phones to have an Apple logo on the back? Our list of the best iPhone deals is just waiting to save you some money.
