Looking to upgrade your smartphone on the cheap? Or do you have an older kid or teen asking for their first smartphone? The Google Pixel 10a is an excellent, budget-friendly option that still offers a ton of cool features, a ruggedized build, and great battery life. And right now at T-Mobile, new and existing customers can get up to four for free, plus a free pair of Pixel Buds 2a.

Of course, as is the case with all "free" phone deals, there are some conditions: New and existing T-Mobile customers will see the discount applied as 24 monthly credits to their bill, so you're still paying for the phone, but getting paid back in full over time. Your account must be kept active and in good standing the entire 24 months, or T-Mobile reserves the right to charge you the full retail price of the Google Pixel 10a and Pixel Buds 2a. New and existing customers can receive up to four free Pixel 10a smartphones per account, but only one pair of free Pixel Buds 2a.

The Google Pixel 10a normally retails for around $500, making it much easier on the wallet than the flagship offerings from Samsung and Apple. And just because it's a budget model doesn't mean you have to sacrifice features and durability. The Pixel 10a has an IP68 rating for water and dust resistance and features a display made with Corning Gorilla Glass for protection against scratches, chips, and cracks. The 6.3-inch OLED Actua display has a maximum brightness of 3,000 nits for better visibility in bright rooms and direct sunlight. It also features HDR support for better detailing and contrast while streaming or making video calls.
