Also anyone know how long this $50 discount on the 5a is going to be offered?

EDIT: I found it good through Dec 26th.

Apple is as bad - and apparently signed a secret deal with the Chinese government.

Samsung disables eSIM functionality on their flagship models (and claims it's because the carriers won't allow it - although Google and Apple seem to be able to persuade the carriers).

Motorola's only eSIM offering is the razr - and it's single sim to boot.

So who should I buy from, if I'm looking for 5G / dual sim with eSim?

Is it worth it to sign up for Google One 2TB for $9.99 that gives you 10% discount at Google Store?

399.00 - 39.9=359.10
+tax
+9.99 (1 month of Google One)
Is it a discount or google store credit (which expires after a year)?

5a with wireless charging would make it the best pixel. Nexus 5 still imo best Google phone for its time obviously.
Loved just about everything about my nexus 5. But the battery life was absolute trash.

For those that did the trade-in, does your trade-in phone need to be unlocked? This is what it says in the terms:

Google and Hyla are not responsible for data loss, data recovery, or any related damages under this Trade-In Program. It is Your responsibility to remove all personal data from Your Device before shipping it to Hyla. In addition, you must do the following:
Factory-reset Your Device, unlock Your Device (including removing Your Device from any services that prevent it from being activated), and remove all SIM and memory cards from Your Device;


Also, it says something about receiving the trade-in value any number of ways, including as a Google Fi credit. How did you actually receive the credit?

This or wait for 6a? Really wish 4a was still in stock on google.
You can do both. We are low-key incentivized to sell and trade these phones a year later while they still hold their value anyways. I got this phone black Friday for the same price. Willing to sell for a $100 cheaper if the 6a is good enough.

I bought S21 Ultra Unlocked from Samsung. It support eSim.
Stop buying phone from carrier. Their ROM is limited to make you pay more.

Ordered this the day before the sale to replace my daughters Pixel 2 that's starting to have issues. Got the email ad/promo that had it $50 cheaper. Called and they had to "escalate" my case to see if they would approve a price change/refund for the difference. They finally ended up doing it but it so that's good.

Phone already arrived and luckily I didn't fall victim to the FedEx/Google lottery of getting my device stolen in transit.

No difference really between 4a 5g and 5a 5g....5a 5g has a metal frame...feels a little bit sturdier. I picked one up a few weeks ago and passed my 4a 5g to my mom.
Does this 5a support WIFI 6E protocol?

Not a bad price but doesnt really seem like a big enough upgrade over my 4a 5g to warrant the pain of switching phones Smilie

Bought Pixel 6 and was going to trade in 4a 5g for $245 but did not work out. Did not like fingerprint under screen and Pixel 6 automatic disconnect to my Tacoma after made the connection. Then, I turned on speaker to talk but phone speaker also auto turn off. Not sure why. decided to return P6 and traded in 4a 5g $275 to get 5a 5g, same size better battery. P 6 is bigger, not easy to hold with one hand as 5a 5g.
