The Google Pixel 9a is going to start at $499, which isn't a bad price at all, especially considering that you're not having that many corners cut at the end of the day. You won't be able to get your hands on it just yet, though, as its availability will commence next month.

The Pixel 9a, like the Pixel 8a, is the final smartphone in its series. As a new budget-friendly option, it won’t feature all the Pixel 9 and Pixel 9 Pro capabilities. However, it includes many appealing elements, making it an excellent choice for many users.
