What price do you consider to be a 'budget' Android phone?
A surprisingly sticky question

It took a little longer than anyone intended to, but the Pixel 9a is finally here. My review went like on Android Police yesterday, and while I'd encourage anyone reading this to check it out, the short version is pretty simple: I like this phone a lot. Google's been on a tear lately, earning high praise across the board for the entire Pixel 9 generation, but in my eyes, the Pixel 9a might be the best of the bunch. It's not that this latest A-series entry can take on the 9 Pro spec-for-spec, of course; instead, it all comes down to what you get for the price.
