Latest Google Pixel smartphone hits the market for £19p/m with UNLIMITED data

GOOGLE’S latest affordable Android has just hit the market, and it’s an absolute steal for anyone looking for great tech on a budget.

You can nab the Google Pixel 8a phone deal from Mobiles.co.uk with 100GB of data for just £18.99 a month, and it won’t cost you anything upfront.

When it comes to budget-friendly smartphones, there are two companies that often stand out: Samsung and Google.

In fact, just last week, I spotted Samsung’s cost-conscious Galaxy A15 with unlimited data for just £14.99 a month, which is definitely worth checking out if you’re shopping around.

The Google Pixel 8a’s official launch also stirred up quite the commotion thanks to it being a cheaper option without removing some of the premium level features.

As of recently, I’ve covered a fair few deals from Mobiles.co.uk, and that’s because the online retailer is steadily building a reputation for being the place to go for popular devices at affordable prices.

Even if you’re a heavy streamer or casual candy crush gamer, 100GB is a sizeable chunk of data to eat through every month, even when you’re getting the most out of your fancy new device.

Taking a quick look under the hood, despite being a rather affordable choice, it’s still filled with reliable tech and comes with a few fancy frills.

Some aspects to expect from the device draw upon the era of AI with features for every need.

One standout is for video lovers: you can remove unwanted sounds using the Audio Magic Eraser.

For many of us, the camera is one of the most important features, and the 50-megapixel camera does not disappoint.

It tops the iPhone 15 Pro’s rear 48-megapixel camera, so you can expect some high-quality snaps.

Should you end up with closed eyes or a photobomber the Magic Editor tool allows you to reimage your photos at the push of a button.

Even with the impressive features, the battery isn’t going to fail you at important moments since the Adaptive Battery lasts over 24 hours.

Or, in a pinch, it can last up to three days with Extreme Battery Saver Mode.

As part of the Google Pixel 8a promotion, you can currently receive an extra £150 on top of your device’s trade-in value.

So if you do decide to part ways with your current device, it’s worth taking a look at Mobiles.co.uk’s trade-in service.

As I mentioned before, companies like Samsung and Google are pretty well-established in the field of affordable devices, but that doesn’t mean there isn’t fierce competition.
