When you preorder Google’s Pixel 8A, you can get a $100 gift card.

This week, alongside Apple and Sonos, Google stepped into the spotlight with the official announcement of the Pixel 8A. Confirming weeks of speculation, Google unveiled the upcoming handset a week ahead of Google I/O 2024. Scheduled for launch on May 14th, the phone is available for pre-order as an unlocked model from Amazon, Best Buy, and the Google Store, starting at $499 with a $100 gift card.

As anticipated, the Pixel 8A targets the midrange market segment. Its predecessor, the Pixel 7A, earned accolades as our favorite Android phone under $500, thanks to features like its 64MP main camera and wireless charging — a rarity in its price range. The Pixel 8A builds upon this foundation with Google’s latest processor and minor hardware enhancements, alongside an unprecedented seven years of software support for a midrange device.

The Pixel 8A retains the 64MP camera, 8GB of RAM, and an IP67 rating, but now boasts a 120Hz refresh rate and up to 2,000 nits of peak brightness on its 6.1-inch display. It also introduces the same generative AI photo and video features seen on the Pixel 8 and 8 Pro — including Magic Editor and Best Take — potentially reshaping the landscape of smartphone photography.

With its seven-year software support, powerful Tensor G3 processor, 120Hz display, and innovative AI features, Google’s latest midrange offering aims to make a significant impact in the smartphone market.
