Last month, Google announced its latest upgrade to its flagship Android smartphone, Pixel 8.
Deal hunters know what that means: big Black Friday discounts on previous models like the Google Pixel 7a, a smartphone that's less than a year old.
Amazon currently has the best deal we've seen on a brand new Google Pixel 7a – $125 off – bringing the price for this Android smartphone down to just $374.
According to Google, the Pixel 7a is guaranteed to receive new Android feature updates for 3 years, or until May 2026. The device will also receive new security updates for an extra 2 years on top of that, or until May 2028.
Mashable reviewed the Pixel 7a when it was released in May of this year and have this smartphone 4.25 out of 5 stars. We found that aside from camera quality and screen size, the Pixel 7a was basically just as powerful as its more expensive sibling model, Pixel 7.
And while the Pixel 7a was built to be a more affordable compared to the Pixel 7, its battery life actually exceeds the Pixel 7. According to a test by Tom's Guide, the Pixel 7a lasted 10 hours and 4 minutes, which was almost 3 hours longer than the Pixel 7's battery performance.
The Pixel 7a has a 6.1" display, 128GB storage, a 64MP main rear camera, and the Tensor G2 chipset that powers some groundbreaking features that Google introduced last year such as Photo Unblur.
