Target appears to be the only major US retailer able to hook you up with such an ultra-affordable Pixel 6a unit at the moment in a single “Chalk” paint job for an undoubtedly limited time. Technically, this hot new online-only promotion doesn’t have an expiration date listed anywhere, but there’s clearly a reason why the likes of Amazon and Best Buy no longer sell this handset (at any price).
We’re talking a compact but high-quality OLED screen with a resolution of 2400 x 1080 pixels, a flawed but reasonably powerful first-gen Google Tensor processor, two surprisingly capable 12MP rear-facing cameras, a more than decent 4,410mAh battery with 18W charging capabilities, IP67 water and dust resistance, and perhaps most importantly, Android 13 software with two more OS updates guaranteed to happen in a timely manner. That’s not something other $250 phones can rival right now.
