Whether you like the Pixel 8 as a flagship or the Pixel Fold as a foldable is a question of your taste, but no one can dislike the Pixel 7a as a mid-range phone. It’s hands down the best affordable handset you can buy and if your budget is tight, this is the best time to get the phone as it has been knocked down to its lowest price.
You get a 6.1-inch screen which neither feels cramped nor overly big. Despite what the phone’s price tag may have you believe, it supports a refresh rate of 90Hz so everything from scrolling to playing games feel fluid.
Unlike its predecessors, the phone supports wireless charging, but the battery life is not impressive. At most, it will last you a full day. That’s the only potential weak point though.
Otherwise, after a discount of $125, the phone is hard to beat. We last saw the phone go this low in December and we aren’t sure when it will hit this price again.
