For someone who wants to spend the absolute least on a phone and not have to think about buying another one for a good long while, I’ll always recommend Google’s A-series Pixel phone. That’s doubly true now with the Pixel 8A on a $100 discount for Black Friday-ish Cyber Shopping Holiday or whatever it is we’re currently experiencing.

Cyber Monday, you may have noticed, is no longer a specific date on the calendar. This year especially, with a late Thanksgiving in the US, Black Friday and Cyber Monday are more like a vibe. The deals started arriving well before Thanksgiving and they’ve lasted well into the weekend, just like turkey leftovers.
