Google’s Pixel 8a pricing strategy might frustrate numerous consumers in the United States.

Posted on 13 April 2025

The Google Pixel 9a is now available for purchase after a delay related to a component issue. Following its release, Google has lowered the price of the Pixel 8a in most markets outside the U.S., and has officially discontinued the Pixel 7a. The Pixel 9a presents several upgrades over its predecessor, featuring a larger 6.3-inch display compared to the 8a’s 6.1-inch screen.

It also has an enhanced battery capacity of 5,100mAh, improved water and dust resistance, a faster Tensor G4 chipset, and an updated design. The price remains consistent with the Pixel 8a, starting at $499 for the 8GB RAM and 128GB storage variant. However, the introduction of the Pixel 9a makes the Pixel 8a less appealing at the same price point, likely explaining its price reduction in most regions.

You can now pre-order the Pixel 9a on Amazon, with the device priced at its standard rate. The 128GB version is set for release on June 1. In the UK, the Pixel 9a’s price has dropped from £499 to £399, while in other European markets, it has fallen from €549 to €449.

Interestingly, the Pixel 9a still lists for $499 on Google’s U.S. site, raising questions about whether this pricing strategy was intentional or an oversight. The Pixel 7a, on the other hand, has been discontinued globally. Traditionally, older Pixel a series devices are accessible for around two years, making this discontinuation unsurprising.

Both the Pixel 7a and 8a will continue to receive updates, ensuring they remain valuable options for users despite no longer being the latest offerings. In addition to tech news, a platform for discussion is available for sharing opinions while adhering to guidelines, such as avoiding off-topic conversations and maintaining a respectful tone.
