With the latest Apple event taking place in September, all eyes are on the new iPhones getting ready to roll around. But if you're looking for a new smartphone, you don't have to rely solely on the iOS ecosystem. There are some excellent Android picks out there that you can opt for instead. Case in point: the Google Pixel 8a, which is a great deal for half the price of what you can expect to pay for the latest and greatest iPhone. And it's even cheaper right now thanks to a sale at Amazon.

As of August 27, get the Google Pixel 8a for just $449 at Amazon. That's $50 off its usual price of $499, and a discount of 10%. It's not back down to its lowest price we've seen, but it's still well worth investing, especially if you find yourself in need of a phone upgrade right now. You can choose from four colors: Aloe, Bay, Obsidian, and Porcelain.

Mashable's Alex Perry reviewed the Google Pixel 8a, praising it as an "impressive deal" even though it's only a small iterative set of changes over its predecessor, but noted that "its elite performance coupled with a flagship-esque display and decent enough camera specs are more than enough to make up for some lackluster returning AI features." So if you're ready to make a change, but aren't too interested in what's on the table from Apple, this could be your next big upgrade.
