Google has officially announced the release date for the Google Pixel 9a, its midrange alternative to the flagship Pixel 9.

Google says the Pixel 9a will be available in April for $499 and up. That makes it a little pricier than earlier Pixel 9a devices. But it’s still not a bad price for a mid-range phone that has a 120 Hz OLED display, the same processor as Google’s latest flagships, and a promise of 7 years of OS and security updates.

Still, if you have been eyeing the Pixel 9 Pro XL for a while, a fantastic deal drops its price to a lifetime low of $700. Yep, that's $400 less than its MSRP and a saving of a whopping 36%. You get an even higher $450 off on the 256GB variant.
