Your Pixel 7a could be free with up to $500 in Google Store trade-ins

Google’s freshly announced Pixel 7a is the newest midrange offering from the company. At $499, it’s the cheapest Pixel 7 around, though the Pixel 7a could be free with the right trade-in at the Google Store.

The Pixel 7a from Google has a lot to offer someone looking for all of the bells and whistles that come from a Made by Google device but doesn’t want to deal with the higher price tag of the Pixel 7 and 7 Pro. Beyond stock Android, the device comes with Google’s AI-optimized Tensor G2 chip, Titan M2 co-processor, and 8 GB of RAM. It also carries a 64-MP primary camera and 13-MP front camera, which is equipped with face unlock for a little extra convenience.

In all, $499 isn’t a terrible price and still qualifies for a midrange classification. On the flip side, the Google Store accepts device trade-ins for the Pixel 7a, and generally, they can save you hundreds of dollars depending on what device you’re willing to part with.

Generally speaking, a newer iPhone trade-in will cover your Pixel 7a entirely, though it’s probably not going to be a very fair trade. The best trade is upgrading from a Pixel 6 to a Pixel 7a because you don’t lose much performance and are stills seeing a decent price for your trade-in.
