8a isn't out until May.

They're clearing stock of the 8, and I guarantee the 8 won't be down to this price when the 8a is out (not at retail anyway).

Then the news of the Pixel 9 will increase.

That's how the Google sales cycle go. It's the same every year now.
Ok normally I never comment on phones, but I came from a Pixel 6a, loved that phone, when I upgraded to this one, its just non stop bugginess, not so much that it prevents you from doing anything, but a few issues i run into:

Signal keeps switching back and forth between 5g and lte at an area normally have 5g.

When your on a call and you have to look at the phone, it does not want to go back to the call easily, so if your on a call where you have to enter prompts, this makes it very difficult.

When you take a picture, it just doesnt process sometimes and there is a moment where your like did it work oh man everyone hold on my phone didnt work..

If you have certain updates pending, nobody can call you, had this happen twice where all day I didnt get any calls till I had to google issues to find this out, as its not displayed anywhere in front of you to catch it.

Stuff like that, im sure theres more but you get the idea, I am hoping someone at google sees this and does better quality control in the next update.

I was a big advocate of google phones prior to the 8
Tensor G3 SOC sucks too. Only thing good about this phone is camera and pretty much some stock android UI but if you want features or well built phone, lot of good options available. Pixel simply sucks after their tensor attempts

Hard to imagine paying $550 for midrange Pixel 8a when the regular flagship is cheaper

Yeah that's bad and often the case. They incentivize people to switch from Apple and Samsung. They know lots of existing pixel users will upgrade anyway.

Incentives on the 9 are the ones to wait for. Bestbuy had better incentives that Google did on trade ins with my 8 pro.

taxes on the full amount $599 which sucks (i.e. its not taxed on the post-trade in value... and its amazing that Iphone 11 still gets $270 trade in value... Pixel 7 has only $165...
