Deal on the cheapest Google Pixel, make the leap to better photography for much less

If you want to upgrade to Pixel phones, the cheapest option right now is the Pixel 6a; But that doesn’t mean it’s necessarily the worst. As we discussed back then, this mobile strikes an excellent balance between price and features.

The key, of course, is in the cameras. This model is the cheapest way to get Google’s computational photography, with its own processor, the Google Tensor. For 459 dollars, it is one of the most recommended mobiles on the market.

If for this price it is already a good mobile, then what would it look like if we subtracted 110 dollars from this figure? Well, we end up with a mobile whose purchase is practically obligatory if we are interested in the Google platform.

That’s exactly what Google has done in its official store, where it already offers the Pixel 6a for just 349 dollars, a price that puts it at the level of mid-range alternatives, which it ruthlessly crushes in most aspects. After all, it’s a Pixel 6 with some limitations.

This discount is part of the Black Friday sales. Although it’s technically next week, many stores are already starting to offer discounts, and the official Google store is one of them.

The Google Pixel 6a is based on the same Tensor processor as the Google Pixel 6, but with some technical differences. It’s a smaller mobile, staying at 6.1 inches, which may be preferable for many users, so that’s not necessarily a bad thing. Where we’ll notice the difference the most is in other technical details.

The main camera remains at 12MP, compared to the jump to 50MP that the Pixel 6 meant, but it’s still capable of taking amazing photos for this resolution. We also lose the fast charge, although the battery life is consistent. And of course, being a Pixel, it will receive all updates directly from Google, and it was one of the first phones to receive the update to Android 13.
