The Google Pixel 8A is now out, having been announced at the Google I/O developer conference, and it joins the Google Pixel 8 and 8 Pro as flagship phones for the company. Part of that is due to a host of new AI features, but for the PIxel 8A, a big part of the appeal is the incredible affordability of the device. This smartphone couples impressive processing power with a less expensive price tag, starting at $499 for the base model. Plus, there are current deals that can bring that cost down even lower.

The Pixel 8A has many of the same features as the line's current flagship model, from similar battery life to comparable processors. It also boasts the ability to run Audio Magic Eraser, Best Take and Gemini Nano model, which is something that Google's budget-tier phones haven't been set to handle in the past. In fact, these phones even provide the same display brightness as the standard Pixel 8, offering up to 2,000 nits of brightness (1,400 nits in HDR). The Pixel 8A is fairly close in size to the line's flagship, too. The Pixel 8 has a 6.2-inch display, while the 8A comes in at 6.1 inches. 

How much does the Pixel 8A cost? 

The base 128GB model starts at $499. Or you can double your storage to the 256GB model for just $60 more.

What colors does the Pixel 8A come in?

The Pixel 8A comes in four colors: aloe (light green), bay (light blue), obsidian (black) and porcelain (white).
