Finding a good phone that won't break the bank can be difficult. The Google Pixel 9a offers an awesome balance, even at its full $499 price point. Today's $50 discount is only a cherry on top, bringing the device down to a record-low price we've only seen once in the past.
We really like this phone, as you can see in our full Google Pixel 9a review. Considering the price point, we didn't have much to complain about. It essentially offers a near-high-end experience on a mid-tier budget.
This phone comes with a Google Tensor G4 processor, which puts performance in line with the high-end Pixel 9 series. It also has 8GB of RAM. While not quite as impressive, it can handle multitasking pretty efficiently. Most casual users won't notice any slowdowns.

One important factor to keep in mind is that the screen is smaller at 6.3 inches. That said, many of us prefer smaller phones, and it's actually quite a nice display, offering a P-OLED panel with a Full HD+ resolution and a 120Hz refresh rate. Like all other Pixel phones, it comes with a pretty nice camera system. It won't win any photography awards, but it is a really nice shooter considering the price range.
We found battery life to be quite decent. It has a 5,100mAh battery, and thanks to the Tensor G4 optimizations, it can easily take you through a whole day of normal use on a full charge. We never got any battery anxiety with it. Based on our tests, it also managed to beat all its main direct competitors. These include the Google Pixel 8a, Apple iPhone 16e, and Samsung Galaxy S24 FE.
While it is a cheaper phone, Google didn't skimp out too much on the design department. I happen to love the fact that it has no camera bump. Additionally, it still has an aluminum frame. And while most of it is made of plastic, it doesn't feel cheap. It still has an IP68 rating, too, so you won't need to worry about the elements damaging it.

As an added benefit, the Pixel 9a gets a seven-year update promise, which is among the best software commitments the industry has to offer. Only Samsung matches this update promise.
If you're interested, you might want to jump on this deal soon. This all-time low price has only been available once in the past. It's not a commonly discounted phone so far. If you're not convinced, here's our list of the best budget phones. There are plenty of options in there.
Casual users will love this phone, and it's a relatively new phone, launched in March 2025. This means we don't think the phone will drop any lower soon. If you've been looking for a good phone at a nice price, this is your chance!
Of course, we also have a list of the best budget Android phones, just in case you want to check out some alternatives first.

Asian stocks slip from highs, dollar gains as markets brace for crucial week

By Kevin Buckland TOKYO (Reuters) -Asian shares eased from highs on Friday, with Japanese markets retreating from a record peak, as investors locked in profits ahead of a crucial week that includes U.S. President Donald Trump's tariff deadline and a host of central bank meetings. The dollar gained against the yen after bouncing off a two-week low on Thursday, helped by some firm U.S. economic data, while Japan's currency was weighed down by political uncertainty amid media reports Prime Minister Shigeru Ishiba will step down. Benchmark Japanese government bond yields hovered just below the highest since 2008. Japan's broad Topix index, which had jumped more than 5% over the previous two sessions to reach an all-time high, pulled back 0.7%. The Nikkei slipped 0.5% from Thursday's one-year high. Hong Kong's Hang Seng lost 0.5% and mainland Chinese blue chips declined 0.2%. Australia's equity benchmark declined 0.5%. At the same time, U.S. S&P 500 futures added 0.2%, after the cash index edged up slightly to a new record closing high overnight, buoyed by robust earnings from Google parent Alphabet. The tech-heavy Nasdaq also marked a record high. MSCI's gauge of stocks across the globe edged down 0.1%, but remained just below an all-time peak from Thursday. The index is on course for a 1.3% weekly advance, buoyed in large part by optimism for U.S. trade deals with the European Union and China, following an agreement with Japan this week. Next week, in the U.S. alone, investors need to contend with Trump's August 1 deadline for trade deals, a Federal Reserve policy meeting, the closely watched monthly payrolls report, and earnings from the likes of Amazon, Apple, Meta and Microsoft. The Bank of Japan has its own policy announcement on Thursday, and Prime Minister Ishiba's Liberal Democratic Party holds a meeting the same day. That's after the European Central Bank held rates steady on Thursday, pausing its easing campaign as it waits to assess any impact from U.S. tariffs. The euro ended the session down 0.2% against a buoyant dollar, and was little changed on Friday at $1.1743. The U.S. currency advanced 0.3% to 147.37 yen, adding to Thursday's 0.4% gain. Trump kept the pressure on Fed Chair Jerome Powell to cut rates after a rare presidential visit to the central bank on Thursday, although he said he did not intend to fire Powell, as he has frequently suggested he would. U.S. 10-year Treasury yields edged down to 4.39% on Friday, effectively erasing an advance on Thursday. [US/] Equivalent Japanese government bond yields eased 0.5 basis point to 1.595%, just off this week's high of 1.6%, a level last seen in October 2008. JGB yields have been rising on concerns the political scale is tilting more towards fiscal stimulus, after big gains for opposition parties backing consumption tax cuts in Sunday's upper house election. Pressure is building on the more fiscally hawkish Ishiba to quit after his coalition lost its majority in the vote, after doing the same in lower house elections last October. Gold was flat at around $3,368 per ounce, keeping it on course for a 0.5% rise this week. Brent crude futures gained 0.3% to $69.35 a barrel, while U.S. West Texas Intermediate crude futures added 0.2% to $66.18 per barrel. [O/R] Sign in to access your portfolio
