Android enthusiasts on the lookout for an affordable upgrade are in for a treat with Amazon's Big Spring Sale. The sale is set to officially kick off on March 20, but eager shoppers can already spot early deals. A highlight is the Google Pixel 7a, now at a historically low price of $374.
While we've seen the phone hit this price point previously, it's been lingering near its standard $499 lately.
Since its debut last year, the Pixel 7a has consistently ranked high on our list of the best mid-range phones. It's a standout performer even at its regular price. Powered by Google's Tensor G2 chip, it offers impressive performance for its cost bracket. The phone also boasts a 6.1-inch, 90Hz OLED touchscreen, wireless charging support, and a design akin to the more premium Pixel series, complete with an IP67 water resistance rating.
However, it's the Pixel 7a's camera setup that really sets it apart in its price category, especially compared to other budget Android phones usually priced around $350. Its 64-megapixel main camera captures detailed and balanced images, and Google's Night Sight mode ensures it excels in low-light photography.
The 13MP front camera even supports 4K video recording. The absence of dedicated zoom and telephoto lenses is a minor drawback compared to the overall excellent camera system you get for this price.
The Pixel 7a stands out as the optimal choice for anyone seeking top value in an Android phone without breaking the bank. With the sale price dipping below $400, it's an opportune moment to grab it at a great deal.
But, for those considering higher-end options, it's worth mentioning that the Google Pixel 8 and 8 Pro are also on sale, with discounts up to $250, bringing them down to $499 and $749, respectively. These premium models offer the latest Tensor G3 chipset, refined designs, long battery life, and advanced AI features for photography and Google Assistant usage.
