Ever since the Pixel 7a launched, it has been engaged in sibling rivalry with the Pixel 7. The 2022 flagship is still months away from replacement (expected in October), but this old dog can still lure in a crowd with its competitive pricing.
In the US, Google has paired the Pixel 7 with the Pixel Buds A-series in a combo priced at just $500. We’ll see the 7a deals shortly, but this combo is just $50 more than the mid-range phone by itself.
In the UK and Germany Google has decided to pair the Pixel 7 with the pricier Pixel Buds Pro, which drives the price of the combo higher – too high, perhaps.
You can also pick up the Pixel 7 on its own to save some money, especially if you already have headphones you like.
Now here’s the Pixel 7a. In the US it is a straight 10% discount, which brings the final price down to $450.
In Europe, Amazon went for a combo deal – Pixel 7a, a 30W Google charger and an official silicone case.
If you want a Pixel phone on the cheap, check out the Pixel 6a. The older model means that you will miss out on a lot of upgrades that the 7a got – it not only uses the older Tensor chipset, but it also has a 60Hz display (vs. 90Hz) and an old 12MP camera (vs. 64MP), it lacks wireless charging too. And while all those are arguments in favor of the 7a, the Pixel 6a has one strong argument in its corner – it costs a lot less.
We’ll wrap up with the flagship model of the family, the Google Pixel 7 Pro. The US price is comparable with the Galaxy S23 and S23+ despite having advantages such as a QHD+ LTPO display and a periscope lens.
Note that the above prices are for the 12/128GB model, here is what the 12/256GB model costs (in Germany it is not part of the Prime Day deals).
