Best Buy has knocked $150 off the Pixel 9A (128GB unlocked), bringing the price down to just $349. You can also upgrade to the 256GB configuration for $449, which reflects the same $150 in savings. This is the lowest price we've seen at Best Buy, so we'd recommend taking advantage of these savings while you can.
The Pixel 9A is one of the absolute best options out there for those on a budget. It came out last April and immediately earned a spot on our list of the best phones you can buy. In fact, it's our pick for the best Android value phone, thanks to its affordable $499 starting price. But if you're lucky enough to find a deal, you can pay even less. Right now, we've found a way for you to save $150.Â
At just $349, the Pixel 9A is available for far less than the basic Pixel 9. But even though it's significantly cheaper, it offers many of the same specs and features, making it an unbeatable value. Both have a vibrant 6.3‑inch OLED display, as well as the same Google Tensor G4 processor, which supports Gemini AI features.
Plus, the Pixel 9A actually has an improved 13-megapixel front camera and battery life up to 30 hours. You're only getting 8GB of RAM instead of 12GB, and the rear ultrawide camera isn't as impressive, but for those who really only need the basics, the Pixel 9A is a steal and one of the best phones you'll find for less than $500.

Why this deal matters
The Google Pixel 9A is already our favorite budget‑friendly Android, and a great value at full price. It matches -- or even exceeds -- the $799 Pixel 9 in some respects, so a chance to grab one for just $349 is a serious bargain. Especially since this deal doesn't require a trade‑in, carrier contract or any other special conditions.
For Apple users, there are plenty of deals to be had on the new and affordable iPhone 16E as well.
