Google Pixel 3a And 3a XL Hit Lowest Prices Ever Unlocked With This Smoking Hot Deal

There's no question that Google knocked it out of the park when it released the Pixel 3a and Pixel 3a XL smartphones. In case you didn't already know, not everyone needs (or wants) to spend $700 or more on a flagship Android smartphone, which is why many were delighted that Google released its mid-range Pixel 3a and Pixel 3a XL priced at $399 and $479 respectively.

Even at those relatively affordable prices, Google still gives customers a respectable Qualcomm Snapdragon 670 SoC with 4GB of RAM, 64GB of storage space, your choice of a 5.7- or 6-inch display, and an excellent 12MP rear shooter.

Today, both smartphones are available unlocked with a sweet $120 discount at Amazon or Best Buy with absolutely no strings attached. Previous discounts required you to sign up for new cell phone service -- i.e. with Google Fi – or add a new line, but there are no such requirements with this particular deal. Instead, you get the instant $120 discount, and then can take the smartphone to your carrier of choice.

The discount takes the Pixel 3a from $399 to just $279, while the Pixel 3a XL falls from $479 to $359.

If you're an Amazon Prime Rewards credit card holder, you'll get 5 percent cash back on your purchase. On the other hand, if you actually activate the device at Best Buy, you'll get an additional $50 discount off the already low price ($229 for the Pixel 3a, $309 for the Pixel 3a XL).

We don't know how long these deals are going to last, so if you're at all interested in purchasing a Pixel 3a or Pixel 3a XL, now might be the time to strike while the iron is hot.
