Need more help choosing? Well, we have dedicated reviews for the Google Pixel 6a, the Google Pixel 7 and the Google Pixel 7 Pro.

The Google Pixel 6a is our #1 pick for the best cheap phone. This is due to its excellent display, cameras, and performance. It's the best value you can get out of a phone less than $500 — and now you can get all that value for under $300. However, the biggest downside is the battery life. We got 6 hours, 29 minutes out of our unit, so you might need to carry a charger with you if you use your phone a lot.

If you want even better cameras and performance, the Google Pixel 7 Pro is the phone for you. The Google Pixel 7 Pro has some of the best cameras of any Android phone we've tested, and there are lots of extremely useful photo editing features too. Meanwhile, the Google Pixel 7 is also a very competent phone, mostly sacrificing the Pixel 7 Pro's telephoto lens.

These aren't the cheapest prices we've seen for the Google Pixel 7 and 7 Pro, but they're pretty close to their respective all-time low prices of $474 and $719. The Google Pixel 6a is at its lowest price ever.
