The Pixel 9a made its official debut in March, but due to a ‘quality issue’ at the time, there wasn’t a way to pre-order it. Nearly a month later, the Pixel 9a is back in the news, with retailers and wireless carriers making the phone available starting on April 10. As you might expect, there are plenty of promotions in tow, like this one from AT&T, with the carrier offering the phone for just $3 per month.

Of course, you’re going to need to commit to the carrier for 36 months and sign up for one of its unlimited plans. The silver lining here is that you won’t need to go through any trade-in offers in order to secure this price. Furthermore, those that order before April 24 will be able to score a pair of Pixel Buds A-Series for free.
What makes the Pixel 9a worth taking a look at?
Perhaps the most important element here with the Pixel 9a is that you’re getting the Pixel experience on a budget. The $500 price tag is really hard to ignore, especially with how good Google’s hardware has gotten over the past few years. And of course, the software is also superb too, with excellent features and exclusive perks, along with a device that will be supported for several years.
When it comes to the hardware, you’re getting a design that deviates quite a bit from previous A-series models, with a camera bump that is nearly flush with the body of the phone. The handset is powered by a Google Tensor G4 SoC that’s paired with 8GB of RAM, and comes with two storage options: 128GB or 256GB.
You get a vibrant 6.3-inch OLED screen that can ramp up to 120Hz, and it also comes with a large 5,100mAh battery. There’s also a dual camera on the rear, with a 48MP main camera, and 13MP ultrawide. And as mentioned before, you get seven years of software updates from Google, which will keep this phone relevant for years to come. For the most part, this is a fantastic phone at a great price.
