Google Pixel 7a deals — how to score Google's new phone for free
The first Google Pixel 7a deals are now live. Announced at Google I/O 2023, the Pixel 7a costs $499, which is $50 pricier than its predecessor, the Pixel 6a. However, to offset the price increase, Google has packed its new phone with many features previously not found in Google's A-series phones.
For instance, the Pixel 7a is powered by Google's current-gen Tensor G2 CPU and Titan M2 security chip. The phone also boasts Face Unlock, 8GB of RAM, up to 90Hz Smooth Display, and now supports wireless charging. On paper, it appears it has what it takes to reclaim the title for best cheap phone from Samsung.
