Not to generalize, but the Google Pixel 9A is a classic dad phone. It is not fussy. It is durable and scheduled to receive software updates for the better part of a decade. It’s a solid deal at its full $499 MSRP, but the Black Friday price of $349 is even better. This is the lowest price the 9A has ever been sold for, matching its Prime Day price. If Dad missed it in October, he can strike now while the iron is hot again.
Of course, you don’t have to be a father, a man, or anyone in particular to appreciate 9A. It’s missing some of the great features of the flagship Pixel phones (it’s now the only Google phone that doesn’t come with a telephoto camera), but it has a solid processor and a reliable camera.
It runs Google’s streamlined Android implementation, so it may appeal to those who find Samsung software a bit cluttered. And at $349, it’s also a good bet for those who want to pay out of pocket for the phone and avoid financing or carrier deals. This is a very valuable proposition for any no-nonsense man in your life – dad and otherwise.
