Google Pixel 6a price down to its lowest non-sale price, but should you buy it?

Google Pixel 6a was launched last year at a price of Rs 43,999. However, only a few months after its release, the device started receiving price cuts. Following the Pixel 7 series’ India launch and some Diwali offers, the device was available at around Rs 30,000.

Interestingly, the Pixel 6a is now available at Rs 29,999, which is its lowest non-sale price. To top it off, there’s a bank discount and an exchange offer making it a deal worth checking out.

Google Pixel 6a at Rs 29,999 is a good deal, but should you buy it?

Arguably, it’s the best clean Android smartphone available in the sub-Rs 30,000 segment.

But when we look at other aspects such as the 60Hz standard display, not-so-powerful processor, and a small battery, it isn’t the best phone out there in the segment.

In fact, there are many alternatives that are powerful and offer a fluid experience. Some of its competitors that you can consider are the Nothing Phone (1), iQOO 9 SE 5G, and iQOO Neo 6/7.

However, for those who want a clean stock Android experience, solid cameras, and a compact form factor, the Pixel 6a is a device to go with.

But before you buy it, do note that its successor, the Google Pixel 7a is just a few months away from release. Expect it to arrive in the next 3-4 months. The Pixel 7a, however, will likely be expensive when it releases. Now, it’s up to you, if you can wait for the aforesaid time and aren’t in a dire need of a smartphone, then holding back is your best option — provided that you are willing to pay more.

Or else, for Rs 29,999, the Pixel 6a is indeed a sweet deal.
