Where to buy the Google Pixel 3a and Pixel 3a XL
Google has announced the Google Pixel 3a and Pixel 3a XL at Google I/O 2019. As numerous rumors had suggested, the anticipated handsets pack almost all of the goodness of the regular Pixel 3 series smartphones for about half the price — we’re going to be talking about them for weeks to come.
We’ve already had the opportunity to put the phone through its paces for our full Pixel 3a review; in this article, you’ll find out how much the phones cost, where you’ll be able to buy them, and when they’ll arrive.
Google Pixel 3a and 3a XL release date
The Pixel 3a and Pixel 3a XL went on sale on May 7 in the U.S., on May 8 in the U.K., and on May 15, in India.
Google Pixel 3a and 3a XL price
The Pixel 3a and 3a XL specs aren’t as high end as those of the Pixel 3 and Pixel 3XL; as such, their prices aren’t as high either. The regular Pixel 3 and Pixel 3 XL start at $799 and $899 respectively, while the Google Pixel 3a and Pixel 3a XL prices are as follows:
U.S.
- Pixel 3a: $399
- Pixel 3a XL: $479

Google Pixel 3a and 3a XL availability
As well as the U.S., U.K., and India, the duo will be released in Australia, Canada, France, Germany, Ireland, Italy, Japan, Singapore, Spain, and Taiwan in the coming weeks.
The phones will be available in three colors: Clearly White, Just Black, and Purple-ish, though the latter variant won’t hit the Indian market.
Somewhat disappointingly, they are coming in only one memory configuration: 4GB RAM with 64GB of internal storage. They also lack expandable storage options like microSD card support; you’ll have to be really okay with 64GB ROM if you want to own one.
