Google’s cheap Pixel 3a is sold out and discontinued

If you were in the market for a cheap Pixel phone, your options just got narrower. 

Google has confirmed to Android Police that it has discontinued the Pixel 3a. 

“Google Store has sold through its inventory and completed sales of Pixel 3a. For people who are still interested in buying Pixel 3a, the product is available from some partners while supplies last,” the company said in a statement. 

At writing time, Pixel 3a and 3a XL are still listed on Google’s website, but they’re marked as “out of stock.”

Google’s Pixel 3a and 3a XL came out a year ago, offering very good value for the price of $399 and $479, respectively. And yes, we know that 2019 sounds like a century ago, but the phones were barely out a year, so we’re pretty sad to see them go. 

This is especially so given that the Pixel 3a’s successor, Pixel 4a, has reportedly been delayed several times in the past couple of months, and it still hasn’t officially been announced. 

Right now, the only option for potential buyers that’s available on Google’s website is the $799 Pixel 4, which has been out for more than half a year, and doesn’t offer nearly as good value as the Pixel 3a.
