The Android phone you should buy your dad is just $349
Not to generalize, but the Google Pixel 9A is a classic dad phone. It’s not fussy. It’s durable and scheduled to get software updates for the better part of a decade. It’s a solid deal at its full $499 MSRP, but the Black Friday price of $349 is even sweeter. It’s the lowest we’ve seen…
Not to generalize, but the Google Pixel 9A is a classic dad phone. It’s not fussy. It’s durable and scheduled to get software updates for the better part of a decade. It’s a solid deal at its full $499 MSRP, but the Black Friday price of $349 is even sweeter. It’s the lowest we’ve seen the 9A on sale for, matching its Prime Day price. If Dad missed out on it back in October, he can strike now while the iron is hot again.
Of course, you don’t have to be a dad, a dude, or anyone in particular to appreciate the 9A. It’s missing some of the fancier features on the flagship Pixel phones (it’s now the only Google phone that doesn’t come with a telephoto camera), but it has a solid processor and a reliable camera.
It runs Google’s streamlined Android implementation, so it might appeal to someone who finds Samsung software a little cluttered. And at $349, it’s also a good bet for anyone who wants to pay out of pocket for a phone and avoid financing or carrier deals. It’s a heck of a value proposition for the no-nonsense person in your life — dads and otherwise.
