The Pixel 4a features a gorgeous 5.81-inch 2340 x 1080 OLED display, Snapdragon 730G CPU, 6GB of RAM, 128GB of storage, 12.2MP (ƒ/1.7) rear camera, and 8MP (ƒ/2.0) front camera. 

In our Google Pixel 4a review, we loved the phone's flagship camera, thoughtful software, and impressive build quality. This mid-tier phone feels much more premium than its $349 price suggests and we'd even choose it over the iPhone SE. 

The phone's 12.2-megapixel rear camera may seem simple by today's standards, but Google augments it with cool software like its Super Res Zoom and Live HDR+. The result is some of the best photos you'll see from a phone at any price. 

In terms of CPU power, the Snapdragon 730G won't beat the iPhone SE's A13 Bionic CPU, but it still offers enough horsepower to handle most tasks and games.  

Simply put, the Google Pixel 4a is the best cheap phone you can get and an absolute steal at just $249.

    What a crappy, clickbait article. It's a straight-up lie because the author can't do simple math or read. The phone has always been $300 defaulted to "activated today" price for as long as it has been on Best Buy's site. There is no extra $50 discount coming out of nowhere. Terrible.

    You can get an extra $50 off with Sprint by adding a line. This brings the cost down to $250. My problem with the article is that you can't get a discount if you are on T-Mobile directly.
