Pixel Offers
The Google Pixel 7A (8/10, WIRED Recommends) was our favorite Android phone of 2023. It is since been changed by a successor, the Pixel 8A, however the 7A maintains its glorious worth. Snagging it for $249 is an absolute steal—$229 at Best Buy—we have by no means seen it promote for much less. Shopping for final yr’s tech is a really sensible solution to save money, and the Pixel 7A nonetheless holds as much as its friends.

Remember all of the useful sensible software program options Google packs in, all of which we have detailed in our Which Pixel Should You Buy guide.

On the exact opposite finish of the spectrum, there’s the Google Pixel Fold (8/10, WIRED Recommends). Perplexingly, it isn’t on sale at Amazon but it surely is discounted all over the place else. The corporate’s first foldable is undeniably enjoyable—if costly—however this deal brings it all the way down to the bottom value we have tracked. That is seemingly as a result of Google is anticipated to unveil a successor subsequent month, however why pay almost $2,000 when you will get final yr’s mannequin for tons of much less?
The outer display works as a traditional smartphone—although wider and shorter than you is likely to be used to. If you happen to want extra actual property, the machine opens up like a ebook and there you’ve it: a 7.6-inch AMOLED show on the prepared for all of your multitasking or split-screening wants.
