Deal Details
Google Pixel 4a for 299 + tax at Best Buy. "Unlocked" for what its worth. Wife was complaining about her old device and i ran across this. Only 50 off but unlocked for Verizon and ATT. Not huge, but still less than retail.

Would appreciate some comments with downvotes as I am deciding if I want to get one.

New line $250 with activation for Verizon and Sprint. Not bad... have to fight them to waive activation fee after the fact though.

And what argument would you use to convince them to waive the activation fee?

Nothing beats a deal that's been around since the first day the phone was released in 2020.

It's never been gone, best buy does this BS with every single phone since the beginning of time. Gets posted randomly every few weeks by someone who misses the activation required part.

I recently bought this phone for my wife. It's a great phone and she is pleased with it. Its pretty competitive with my Pixel 3.

If your looking for a deal, this isn't a great price. But if you want to make the wife happy, $349 for unlocked with no activation is worth it IMO šŸ˜Š

I hadn't seen it posted in a while and am not a daily SD user so I am not up to date on what normal price is for this at bestbuy. Wife only wants a pixel and her 3+ year old pixel 2 is starting to go so i figured this was worth getting her with no time to wait for a deal (she wants it now)

This is full price. The price is $349. You get $50 off for activation, but that has been the case for a long time.

ā€‹I am also interested in this phone. With new Pixel's on the horizon, I hope some actual sales happen soon.

Got an unopened 2020 Moto G Power backing up my main phone right now. Been thinking of selling it and grabbing a Pixel for the same purpose. Grab a Pixel 2, Pixel 3 or wait for a deal on a 4a? Besides battery life, are all the Pixels that much better then the Power?

The phone is nearly a year old and will be replaced by the 5a next month, unless you can get a decent discount (not this) I would avoid

Depending on how you're defining the term backup (e.g. how long you would be using it before replacing it with something more permanent), the Moto g power may be fine. I use it as my daily phone.

In retrospect, I probably would be happier having spent 2-$400 for a Pixel. Either phone is a whole lot less than many people spend on their phones, but I've read nothing but good things about the performance of the Pixel. The Moto G Power on the other hand has noticeable performance issues that cropped up pretty much immediately, and I am not a power user. I've only had mine since September and have been thinking about a different phone for several months. So saving a couple hundred bucks over an intended 3-year ownership period probably wasn't worth it for my daily phone. As a backup that I may never even touch, the Power has merit.
