Today, Google opened pre-orders for its latest mid-range phone, the Pixel 6a, which packs the power of Tensor. Here’s where you can pre-order the Pixel 6a in the US, in addition to the Google Store, and where you can get the best deals.
Where to pre-order the Pixel 6a
With the Pixel 6a, Google has managed to take the AI capabilities of the flagship Pixel 6 and put it in an even more affordable package at $449, which is sure to appeal to many customers. The traditional place to pre-order a new Pixel phone is through the Google Store, which even offers 10% store credit discounts to top-tier Google One subscribers. But it’s always a good idea to shop around to see what deals are available and may make more sense for your budget.
Google Pixel 6a Unlocked
Where buying a $1,000+ flagship phone may not be feasible for many, picking up an unlocked Pixel 6a for $449 is easier to do and offers the freedom to switch carriers at will. For those who don’t care about 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 $499, an additional $50.
Conveniently, the Pixel 6a is available for pre-order at a handful of retailers in the US. Some retailers, like Best Buy, are also offering customers a free set of Pixel Buds A-Series with the purchase of the Pixel 6a.
