A few months ago, Google entered the mid-range smartphone market by launching the Google Pixel 3a and 3a XL. These two mid-range smartphones gained immense hype as the high-quality camera present in these was unheard in this price segment.

In spite of having an exceptionally great camera coupled with three years of software support from Google, the Pixel 3a series didn’t sell well due to its mediocre hardware specs and the availability of better smartphones at lower prices from Chinese smartphone makers.

Well, if camera quality is on top of your priority list and you have been waiting for discounts on the Pixel 3a series, then there’s a piece of good news for you. Luckily, both the Google Pixel 3a & 3a XL are now selling at the lowest price ever on Best Buy

Presently, the Google Pixel 3a and 3a XL have received a noteworthy discount of $170. As a result, Pixel 3a can be purchased for $229.99, while the XL version is retailing at $309.99.

In addition to a great camera and guaranteed OS updates until May 2022, the Pixel 3a series also packs immersive FHD+ OLED display panels. The OLED display on these smartphones will take your media consumption experience to a new horizon.

Furthermore, even after being baked with a mid-range processor, the Snapdragon 670 could easily sustain heavy multi-tasking while the Adreno 615 GPU is ideal for long gaming sessions.
