At a starting price of $599, the hot new Pixel 6 is certainly not too expensive for speed-addicted Android purists, undercutting quite a few of the best budget 5G phones out there, including the likes of the Galaxy S20 FE and Apple’s “regular” iPhone 13.
But if you truly want to keep you spending to a minimum this holiday season, the US Google Store doesn’t exactly offer a lot of great options. The $349 Pixel 4a, for instance, is a perfectly fine mid-ranger, but that Snapdragon 730 processor is no longer anything to write home about, and on top of everything, the 5.8-inch handset has been out of stock for quite some time now.
We’re talking about the exact same list price as the mid-end Pixel 4a, but with high-end specifications (from 2019) on deck. Namely, a Snapdragon 855 SoC that’s undoubtedly faster than every single non-flagship smartphone processor released in the last couple of years, as well as a reasonably smooth 90Hz P-OLED display with a resolution of 2280 x 1080 pixels, decent 6GB RAM count, excellent 12 + 16MP dual rear-facing camera system, and well, a pretty underwhelming 2,800mAh battery equipped with fast charging and wireless charging support.
By far the greatest thing about this latest 24-hour-only Woot deal is that you’re looking at brand-new, unused, unopened, and undamaged units backed by a full 1-year manufacturer warranty at a $450 markdown from an original price of $800, and combined with Google’s stellar software support, this all makes the Pixel 4 arguably one of the best phones under $400 available right now.
