Google Store, 21% off

djr

To celebrate Goog's 21st birthday, they are doing 21% off across the store. Doesn't include Stadia stuff. Came across this on HUKD

Brings the 3a down to 315, and the 3a XL to under 400.

Ah that time of the year when I start wondering weather to bite or hold off for black friday

3A for €315 is a steal, paid €400 last month

Camera on it is excellent.

what i've read about what you give up between the 3 and 3a:

3a: boo
- no wireless charging
- lesser waterproofing
- no auto-focus on front camera
- no wide-angle front camera

3a: yay
- better battery due to lower-end CPU
- headphone jack
- sturdy non-glass body

i've seen murmurs on Reddit about differences in the screen quality and other things, so do your own research.

eitherway, 315 is a steal for a helluva lotta phone

Amazon are selling it slightly cheaper if that's a better option.

For anyone on the fence, I went from an S9+ to a 3aXL. Zero regrets.

Got a pixel 3a when I saw this at ten to twelve last night, cheers!

Why would one buy this phone over the cheaper and from what I can see better spec Mi 9T?

Don't have either, but I'd imagine some advantages of the Pixel...
Better photos
Google Android updates for 3 years after release
Android updates first from Google
Stock Android

Saw it this morning - gutted!

Any alternative offers or codes floating about for the Google Store/Pixel 3a?

For anyone that missed out I picked up the 'just black' pixel 3a and case in the sale last week but have decided not to proceed. Have them here in Deansgrange, Dublin - sealed and unopened. Cost €350.76.
