Read our review.

Originally $449, Target’s discounted price of $299 makes the 128GB model of the Pixel 6a a solid, budget-friendly option for Android users. The 6a uses the same Google Tensor CPU used by the rest of the Pixel 6 lineup but features a standard 60Hz display, not to mention a less powerful camera array when compared to its more expensive counterparts. Read our review.
Google Pixel 6A (128GB, unlocked)
