The Pixel 9a is going to be released in a few days.
Prices will go lower ..this model is only getting older with each new release
Been looking for a good deal on the Google Pixel 8A and have decided to jump in on this, thanks OP. 👍 Also, if you have Target Circle there's a 15% off coupon that they are offering that drops the price down to $270.

Thanks for posting this deal, I just purchased this to use as a trade in for the Google Pixel 9 Pro XL at Best Buy. The enhanced trade in value was $490, and Bestbuy is offering the Google Pixel 9 Pro XL for $499 with activation for Verizon. So with this purchase I just had to pay an additional $9.63 to Bestbuy, then will go through the cancelation process with Verizon within the next 3 days.

Let's do the math. $500 for the 9 Pro XL + $300 for the 8a - $490 trade in credit. That means you got the 9 Pro XL for roughly $310 before taxes.

Has anyone seen or know of a trade in deal for phones in any condition? There was one months ago I missed out on 😡 I have a Pixel 7 (crap before the screen cracked) & screen intact iPhone 12 that a U-haul door bent, power button broken but still used 3 months until an update produced the on screen "hook up to computer" along with a good condition 2021 Samsung AThanks for reading
Verizon has 4 lines for $25/line + 4 free iPhone 16 Pro's for trading in any condition iPhone/Pixel/Samsung but it effectively requires being with them for 3 years

I am guessing ChusWisely meant that he/she will have paid only $10 more for the 9 Pro XL vs. buying this 8a outright, which matches your calculations ($300 vs. $310).

Just traded this phone in on a 9 pro XL and Best Buy gave me $490 for it. It's a great budget phone.

Not surprising as the Pixel 9a has leaked a bunch lately so it should be launched soon. Note: Pixel 8 Pro's are being sold for $350 on the used market.

You can also get a Razr 2024 foldable for $199 on a prepaid carrier or a Pixel 9 through Mint for less.

Tempting, but I might hold off and see if the 9a drops soon.

I got the 256gb version of this phone when it was released for $350 and I can't see going back to a 128gb version of any phone at this point. It's not a bad phone, but some things annoy me, like the fingerprint reader, which IMO flat out sucks. I like the size, the camera is decent, and it performs well (if I can get into it that is).

I might still consider some kind of a trade in option depending on the new 9a price (rumored to be out in 2 days, but who knows), but this is the first phone that I don't know if I'll keep it for years like I usually do.....

This is also my impression. The only reasons I am keeping It are the storage and the promise of updates for years to come...

@deelseaker correct, I stated with the purchase of the 8a and an additional $9.63. I actually paid about $274 with a family members target discount plus target circle 5% discount. But left the discounted price of $274 out because I thought it may cause confusion for others who wanted to replicate the deal. But essentially yes you can get the Pixel Pro 9 XL for just about the same price as the Pixel 8a, by purchasing the 8a and using it as a trade in at Bestbuy.

Hello, that limited deal gave enhanced/promoted trade in values to customers.

The average trade in value for my Pixel 7a was around $70 to $90 and Best Buy upped the value another $200 plus the Pixel 9 Pro XL's price after connecting it with them dropped to around $400.

It will sell out before it goes lower. This is to clear it out. Your terrible advice will cause people to miss this deal

Yep, I got $260 for my old 6a I bought from Bestbuy in 2023 for $150. Usually worth around $90. Made the 9 Pro XL $139 +tax.
