If you like the pure Android experience of Google’s Pixel phones, but don’t want to pay full price for current-generation phones like the Pixel 5, you’re in luck. The Pixel 4 with 64GB of storage is priced at $ 522 (34% off) on Amazon, while B&H sells the Pixel 3a for $ 239 (40% off). Both offers are limited to Cyber Monday, so act quickly. These are last year’s phones that may not be available for long.
The Pixel 4 had its shortcomings at startup, including poor battery life and unreliable gesture control. However, a year later, it has some distinct advantages. In contrast to the mid-range chip in the Pixel 5, the 4 uses a Snapdragon 855 from the flagship class, which is even faster for many tasks. Photos should be processed faster thanks to the Pixel Neural Core, and you may prefer the telephoto camera over the 5th generation ultra-wide camera.

The Pixel 3a price also changes some equations. It’s even cheaper than the Pixel 4a, and it offers much of that core experience, including high-quality camera technology and healthy battery life. You won’t find an IP rating for water resistance or get wireless charging, but neither does the 4a – and those features are rare on any $ 239 phone, let alone one that is otherwise very rounded.
