Google Pixel 8a gets massive INR 18,000 ($214) discount on Croma in India

The Google Pixel 8a launched in India with a bonkers price of INR 52,999 (roughly $630). In a competitive smartphone market like India, the Pixel 8a was an absolute no-go for anyone looking to buy a smartphone at its launch price. Heck, the standard Pixel 8 was also selling for a lower price in recent sales. But thanks to a massive discount running on Croma, interested buyers can score the Pixel 8a for just INR 34,999 ($416). Yes, that’s a massive 33.96% off on the original launch price.

The Pixel 8a might not have the best raw performance, even when compared to other options in a similar price bracket, but the software and camera experience are where this phone stands out. Google’s software processing ensures that just about every image you click with the Pixel 8a, looks good. For the spec-nerds, the phone comes with a 64 MP primary sensor coupled with a 13 MP ultrawide lens.

For selfies, you get a 13 MP ultrawide setup. You can record up to 4K/60fps videos using the rear camera and up to 4K/30fps videos with the selfie shooter. Powering the phone is its 4492 mAh battery while the brains behind the phone is the Tensor G3. This means you’ll be able to use a whole host of AI features like Best Take, Magic Editor, Photo Unblur and more.

If you’re interested in picking up Google’s latest mid-ranger during this sale, I’d suggest hurrying. Deals on Croma usually end sooner than other e-commerce platforms. So don’t miss out on this chance to bag the Pixel 8a for the lowest price since launch.
