Today Google opened pre-orders for its latest mid-range phone, the Pixel 6a, which comes complete with the power of Tensor. Here’s where you can pre-order the Pixel 6a in the US, plus the Google Store, and where to get the best deals.
Where to reserve the Pixel 6a
With the Pixel 6a, Google has managed to take the AI prowess of the flagship Pixel 6 and put it into an even more affordable package at $449, which is sure to appeal to plenty of customers. The traditional place to reserve a new Pixel phone is through the Google Store, which even offers 10% discounts on store credits to high-end Google One subscribers. But it’s always wise to shop around to see what deals are available and you can see which ones make the most sense for your budget.
Google Pixel 6a unlocked
Where buying a $1000-plus flagship phone outright may not be feasible for many, picking up an unlocked Pixel 6a for $449 is more feasible and offers the freedom to switch carriers at will. For those who don’t mind mmWave 5G, choosing to buy an unlocked model will also be more affordable, as some carriers only offer the mmWave variant of the Pixel 6a for an additional $499-$50.
Conveniently, the Pixel 6a is available for pre-order at a handful of decent retailers in the US. Some retailers, like Best Buy, also offer customers a free set of Pixel Buds A-Series with the purchase of the Pixel 6a. .
