Amazon slashes ‘sleek and minimalist’ Android smartphone from £377 to £299

Must read

I’VE spotted an amazing Android phone deal on Amazon: one that’s perfect for anyone shopping on a budget.

The retail giant has slashed the price of the Google Pixel 7a and 30W charger bundle by 21% in a limited-time deal, causing the price to tumble down to just £299 from £377.45.

Fans of Android devices shopping around for a new handset while on a bit of a budget are in luck.

Google’s affordable alternative, the Pixel A series, which accompanies the annual flagship Pixel series, has seen a substantial price drop on Amazon.

The price cut has definitely riled up a few customers as I spotted the deal over on the retailer’s electronic movers and shakers list – these are the fastest-selling tech items on the site.

The Google Pixel 7a is a device Senior Tech Writer Jamie Harris has been lucky enough to get his hands on and goes into more detail in his  Google Pixel 7a review.

Despite being more affordable, you’ll be pleased to know that it offers much of the same tech as the fancier flagship device and doesn’t skimp on the features you value most.

Jamie notes: ‘Pixels have always had pretty impressive cameras, and the 7a is no exception.’

He adds ‘[the] powerful Tensor G2 found in the mightier Pixel 7 Pro lands itself in the 7a, helping you to take lightning-fast shots with little interruption.’

So, despite costing quite a bit less than its counterpart, it still offers great photos and smooth operation – two very important features for all devices.

Another surprise Google added to the Pixel 7a is the ability to charge wirelessly, and while it won’t fill up the tank as fast as a wired connection, it’s great for convenience.

Since you’re also getting a 30W charger bundled in with the purchase, it’s worth noting that 30W chargers provide around 66% more power than their 18W counterparts. That means less time playing the waiting game for you.

Although it charges much faster, it’s unlikely you’ll have to refill the juice that often since, in the most dire situations, Google promises 72 hours of usage on Extreme Battery Saver mode.

Amazon customers who’ve rushed to get their hands on the stunning deal have left reviews of high praise.

One shopper notes, ‘The Pixel 7a’s design is sleek and minimalist, fitting comfortably in hand thanks to its ergonomic design.’

‘Despite its compact size, the device feels sturdy and well-built, making it ideal for one-handed use without compromising on durability.’

Another states ‘Smartphone shopping can often be tricky terrain, where the perfect balance of performance, design, and price is hard to come by.

‘But every once in a while, a product comes along that makes you sit up and take notice. The Google Pixel 7a is one such gem.’

If you are looking for a new contract to accompany your phone, earlier this month, I spotted Google’s current gen, the Pixel 8a, from Mobiles.co.uk with 100GB of data for just £18.99 a month.
