Amazon has slashed prices on the Google Pixel 9 and Pixel 8a, with discounts of up to 20%. The base Pixel 9 is now available for $649 (19% off), while the Pixel 8a can be purchased for $399. However, prices may change again after the upcoming launch of the Pixel 9a.
Despite the discounted prices, some argue that Google’s trade-in pricing doesn’t match Samsung’s valuations. The company has offered enhanced trade-in pricing in the past, but current prices are poor compared to its competitors.
The standout deal is for the Pixel 8a, which can be bought for just $349. However, this sale may be short-lived as it will likely be replaced by the Pixel 9a soon. If you’re considering trading in your old phone, you may get a better price on the secondary market or wait for a better sale.
Google’s phones stand out due to their software features, including seven years of support and quarterly feature drops. However, if you’re looking to upgrade to the latest model, it might be worth waiting until after the Pixel 9a launch to see if prices drop further.
