The Google Pixel 9a has just been announced. Like previous versions of the A-series Google Pixel entries, there’s a lot to like here. It features the same Tensor G4 CPU as the higher-end models and it also features a pretty competent set of cameras that can take amazing snaps on a whim.
It’s also the cheapest phone on Google’s range, coming in at $499. If you want this to be even cheaper, however, T-Mobile has your back—and it might even throw in some freebies with it.
Customers can now get the Google Pixel 9a at no cost when adding a line or trading in an eligible device on most plans. That “most plans” is noteworthy, because that means it works for all the older plans that usually don’t get the good deals. That includes the ONE plan, Simple Choice, Magenta, and more.
Additionally, those ordering online or through the T-Life app will receive a free pair of A-series Pixel Buds. The Google Pixel 9a was just released, but the A-series Pixel Buds are the company’s most affordable wireless earbuds at the moment—which are still very much decent.
The eligible trade-in devices are listed below. It might even be cost-effective to go find a used phone off the list to use as a trade-in.
