Target is now looking to clear out Pixel 8a ahead of the Pixel9a launch and is now offering the best price we have tracked down at $299 shipped. This is a regularly $499 unlocked handset that almost never drops below $399 on sale – Target is now offering a straight up $200 price drop to deliver the best deal we have tracked to date the mid-range Google handset.
As of right now Amazon has the Pixel 8a listing starting at $487 with most colorways at the full $499, much like we are seeing at Best Buy.
But Target has the Obsidian black variant down at $299 shipped, or $100 less than the lowest price we have tracked on Amazon to date.
The Pixel 9a is indeed here to replace to 8a with a redesigned satin metal chassis that looks like something more akin to an iPhone to me – Google has done away with the Camera Bar vibe on the back of the handset unlike what we see on the more traditionally-Google flagship Pixel 9 series devices. At the time of writing, the Pixel 9a still isn’t available for pre-order as Google has pushed back the launch of the newly re-designed mid-range device due to component quality issues – all of the details you need on that are right here and we will be closely monitoring the issue and keeping an eye out for early pre-order deals once they come available.
Having said all that, folks not bothered with the latest and greatest can now score a seriously great deal on what was already the most affordable Pixel handset in the current lineup.
A complete rundown of what’s new on the Pixel 9a awaits in our hands-on review to give you a better idea of what’s on the way – this is will likely help you decide whether or not it’s worth waiting for the new model at full price and jumping on this rare all-time low for the Pixel 8a right now (this deal likely won’t last for very long).
Google Pixel 8a features:
The best-in-class camera with Google AI helps you take photos and videos you won’t believe you actually took. And make edits like magic. Did someone blink or look away? With Best Take, you can combine similar photos into one where everyone looks great. Audio Magic Eraser reduces distracting noises in video like cars and wind, so you can hear the sounds you want. Use Magic Editor to change the background, move an object, make it disappear with Magic Eraser, and more. Just draw a circle around an image or text, even in a video. Google AI finds it fast – right from the app you’re in.
