Pixel A's go down in price as well. Wait 6 months and it should drop to $375 or so like the 6a and 7a did.

In 11 months, the Pixel 9a will be launched here at the same price.

Real Slickdealers use adblock for YouTube and Spotify.

They also degoogle these phones and install an alternate OS to prevent Google spying on everything you do.

Because they are very, very similar in specs.

Similar, sure. The 8a has chunkier bezels, weaker CPU despite having the same G3 chip, slower charging and no battery share

Eh let's be honest, it'll probably go up in price. Absolutely not a "cheap" phone anymore

Actually this is probably the end of the a-series. It will probably be a collectors item.

Won't they do 9, 9XL, and 9a XL? They're also proposing iPhone styling with hard edges, vastly different than the 8 series rounded edges

They have confirmed the 9, 9 Pro, and 9 Pro XL. There is no a series in the works.

Let's hope they make the 9 6in or less. I hate these almost 7in phones

I'm the opposite. My old eyes want bigger screens. I'd like a decent 8" non-folding phone.

I would love this but apple has me locked in because my apple watch and the 2 I used from samsung and google just cant touch my stainless apple watch from the quality to the UI everything just runs better on it and the fitness app blows android away

Pixel 8a at $499 when the baseline 8 was $499 just a handful of weeks ago... Google come on. Just get the baseline 8. the 8a has less performance than the 8 despite having the same CPU, has chunkier bezels, and has slower charging

Also, I got $300 for my pixel 4a 5g when the 6a came out and they're only offering $180 for my 6a. It's decent but not nearly as good...

How does one get a new Pixel 8 for $499 today, and does it come with a $100 Target gift card?

If you don't mind, I'd also be curious to know where I can get a $300 trade-in credit for my 20-month-old used phone that only cost $499 to begin with.

Let's be reasonable, folks. It's a deal, at least compared to anything else available in the here and now.

Y'all are beginners . Anyone upvoting, let alone buying this "deal", needs to get off SD, or remain anonymous until you know

Saving a couple hundred bucks and a better phone that you'll use for years can wait a month or so...

Use the $100 Target gift card to buy 2x$50 Google Play gift cards and get $10 in Target cards. I use these gift cards to pay for YouTube Premium.

Target won't let you buy gift cards with gift cards.

lol.. anyone doing their mental gymnastics to consider and explain that this is a "deal".. yikes.
ig ppl have to defend their bad purchase.. fair.
the 8 was just 500 and it's def worth the extra.. and in a few months the 8 will be 400-450
