Google introduced its latest mid-ranger, the Pixel 8a, a few days ago and raised the bar substantially, giving its latest smartphone entrant flagship-level features without stamping a premium price. For those looking for a terrific deal, Amazon sweetened the pot, as the online retailer is throwing in a $100 gift card for absolutely no extra charge. Best of all, the deal applies to any of the four colors; Aloe, Bay, Obsidian, and Porcelain. The $100 gift card can later be used to take advantage of countless discounts.
Just think of it as a $100 discount applied to the Pixel 8a. There are two storage variants available on Amazon, with the base model offering 128GB of non-expandable internal memory for $499. The deal will last until May 19, so a few days remain for you to take advantage of this offer. As for the Pixel 8a, Google has stepped it up a notch by introducing the Tensor G3 to this model, not to mention an OLED with a peak brightness of 2,000 nits and supports up to a 120Hz refresh rate.
Thanks to Google’s camera science, the Pixel 8a’s 64MP primary camera and 13MP ultrawide-angle unit can capture detailed images. At the back, you get a 13MP shooter. For video recording, it is surprising that this mid-ranger supports 4K capture at 60FPS, as it is typically reserved for more expensive handsets. Unfortunately, there is no 3.5mm audio jack on the Pixel 8a, but when it comes to wireless connectivity, this handset is kitted out with the latest standards, such as Wi-Fi 6E, Bluetooth LE, Bluetooth 5.3, and more.
For biometrics, there is an in-screen optical fingerprint scanner and it can be used to authenticate payments. Despite the smaller 6.1-inch display, Google has outfitted the Pixel 8a with a large 4,492mAh battery, which can also be topped up wirelessly using a compatible 7.5W charger. This is probably the first time that we have seen Amazon offer a $100 gift card with a Pixel purchase, so it goes without saying that anyone who wants a capable smartphone model that does not fall under the flagship category should make the Pixel 8a their daily driver as quickly as possible.
