Google Pixel 6a just $200 right now without a trade-in, only one small caveat

The Google Pixel 6a has a starting price of $449. We’ve written before about how we think this is too high for the phone to really succeed. Thankfully, there has been more than one Google Pixel 6a deal recently that has made the phone much more affordable. Wouldn’t you know it, we have another one today.

Right now, Best Buy is selling the Pixel 6a for as low as $200. To get it for that price, you need to meet a few criteria. If you meet fewer criteria, you can easily get it for just $300. And, if you meet even fewer criteria than that, you can get it for $400.

Our review: Google Pixel 6a

The main criteria are all related to activating the phone on your carrier of choice. If you make a new line or account on T-Mobile or AT&T, for example, this Google Pixel 6a deal earns you a phone for just $200. However, if you just upgrade a current line on those two carriers, you instead get the $300 price. Don’t want to activate and just want to keep the phone unconnected in perpetuity? Then you earn the $400 price.

Pricing is similar for Verizon and Google Fi. Be sure to read the fine print before making your decision. However, you likely were planning to throw this phone on a carrier anyway, so just do it through Best Buy and get this phone at a steep discount!
