Get in!

I just tried it on the Google site and the trade in is legit. Even if your 3a has a cracked screen you'll still get $292 trade in.

Not sure how long this will last so YMMV

eta don't bother hitting swappa or ebay to pick up a $50 3a they've already been cleaned out.

In! Pay attention. You'll have the opportunity to get free earbuds during checkout.

Hijacking this thread but I'm intrigued by the new google pixel buds. However, I have an iphone.

I know that "Hey google" won't work with the buds with an iphone but what about noise cancellation and such?

I have the buds and they have been excellent. Not the new ones with the volume control.

The pixel buds A? Yea, I have an iphone and occasionally use the airpod pros to mow, just cause noise cancellation is amazing on those.

But lately my airpod pros have had a rattling noise and if I turn them up, the little drivers almost sound... blown.
I need something for intense gym sessions in a ware house without AC and minimal fans in NOLA in July! :)

I went ahead and took the deal. I got the 4a 5G almost two years ago for $350, so getting $300 for it seems good to me. Throw in the buds which I think I'll use in bed a lot I was sold.

My phone had always been a tad sluggish but it's annoying when I'm faster than the phone. Hopefully the Google chip will fix this.

Trading in a 5 I had sitting around to check it out. Ventured away from Pixel for the first time to try S22 Ultra. I'm entirely too OCD for all of Samsung's duplicate apps.

Same reasons I love my 4a. This seems like a great deal but the size of the 4a, rear fingerprint sensor, no camera bar....I just like the 4a better.

I figured it was time to update my Pixel 2 XL.

Too hard to pass up a $60 trade-in plus free buds for a smaller phone with larger screen.

First review I read said great phone, battery is terrible.

The next three said great all around and even pointed out the battery was great. Who knows

I have a 3a XL with a broken screen. The trade in says the phone must be factory reset. Phone still turns on, but I can't reset since the screen is broken. Anyone know if there is another way to factory reset?

TIA

There should be an ADB command available.

Got in on this earlier today. Pretty pumped since my 4 is on its last battery leg

ETA: Ended up canceling my order since the 6a doesn't have wireless charging (didn't realize until I watched reviews). I use my Pixel as a google home mounted on my Pixel Stand in my office and bedroom so that was a deal breaker. I am upset.

I'm cautiously optimistic for the upcoming Google Pixel 7 and Pro. If they can just iron out the finger print sensor and/or add face unlock, I'd probably ditch my iphone 12 pro max for it.

Does Google still offer Google Photos perks to the Pixel phones? I know before they gave you like unlimited original photo quality storage or something.

Anyone set theirs up yet? FedEx decided to not leave mine at the house today despite me signing online yesterday to release.

I dont think so. I think the general policy allows for unlimited photo storage for any images stored at some moderate quality level. I can't remember exactly but maybe they define it at 6 megapixels?
