Google Store has the Pixel 6a as an even trade for the Pixel 5a (you only have to pay taxes). At only $21.88 oiut of pocket this is a no-brainer for me, as the 5a has known issues with the display (mine required a motherboard replacement).

Trade-in values for other Pixels were also good- for example
Pixel 3 i@ $197
Pixel 4 @ $245.

As always, YMMV since trade-in values can (and do) change often.

Subtotal $449.00
Total savings today-$150.00
Shipping Free
Estimated tax $21.68
Estimated total $320.68
Estimated trade-in value-$299.00
Total after trade-in $21.68

I have the Pixel 5a and love its rear fingerprint unlock. I do not like the in-screen fingerprint option and will not trade the 5a for whatever this has to offer
A few more trade values (with base RAM):

Pixel 5 $299
Pixel 4 $245
Pixel 4XL $235
Pixel 4a or 4a 5G $250
Pixel 3a $200
Pixel 3 $197
I haven't had any issues with my 6a. I came from the 3a. the finger print reader on the 6a takes just under half a second for me, and accuracy is good (although I enrolled the same thumb twice because my aim is bad when trying to hit the reader). the 3a was instant for finger print reads. but less than half a second delay doesn't bug me.

fingerprint sensor not all that great for any of them if security is any of the reasons for use, but otherwise back location preference is better for you cool. I wouldn't give up my 5a even though the a's have a cheaper entry point and design aspects the 6a came out and discounted far to fast due to issues with the 6 and the new processor though nothing nearly as bad as the m1 and m2 being worse due to the overall design in apple's architecture when making the choice of hardware to be under 16GB of RAM and the NAND storage low as well vs 2TB+ regardless of individual performance/benchmarks of the cpu/chips themselves as quite a bit has changed recently along with reasons some items work well and others don't as the cheapened MLC to TLC to QLC storage and in some cases 5bits written per cell vs. 1 with SLC used for enterprises for some time tilll size and costs became unreasonable for the new data science world.

Personally paying for deep learning and ML in a CPU as apple/google new ones have and use a basic design otherwise with arm now and fab centers being the thing as hardware has hit its bottle neck with mores law and 5ghz and equivalent throughput were chosen for this to enter a new design realm unconvincing everything that was converged again, but allowing for the FPGA company's to see profitability and life into them for the 1st time in 25+ years and we have a lot of standards that have been designed and improved while approved for years already and couldn't utilize the increases not to mention the quick changes brought about and most devices having hit a point where even the hardcore geeks like myself don't realize an actual benefit from the hardware next version in desktops then laptops and servers along with eventually networking asides from the 1GB switching giving not many services would require a full 2Gb of throughput concurrently for a long time let alone in most users homes and it usually as seen with the Pentium 3 and 4 models just used for marketing hype to sell products as bottlenecks and other issues existed that its like having a car with 1000 hp plus but being stuck on an interstate that is 1 lane and the car in front is going 55mph and until then nice to have, but useless as the bottlenecks needed to get resolved first and they stopped the mhz to ghz marketing game around 4.8Ghz in a p4 in the laptop model and had hyper threading which software had to catch up as usually MSFT and Adobe were the first to take advantage of the software in the hardware extensions and utilizing those real improvements with encoding and the 64bit shift when RAM became reasonably priced where like today and with storage as well they add latency to each new major design release and eventually get the throughput and speed up on higher end products for workstations and business gear maybe gamer as well, but otherwise the reason for storage is usually to be able to get the cost down to the consumer grade market esp. since this was the longest and last part internally that hadn't seen much improvement being mechanical and all, but then took off and SSD's over SATA clogged the systems connection options for mainstream and really didn't make much difference anyway as the gains were huge and each PCIe version we get doubles the theoretical spec's in throughput ingress/egress and PCiE 4 drives have really only recently like a few months back reached the 7500 read and 7500 write with the Samsung 990 pro drive an update to the 980 pro, so they're clearing it out for pcie 5 and cxl which is acceleration with fpga's and zns (zoning for larger data capacity's) to allow for the 1.5 TB read/write capabilities even though we have pcie 6 and 7 already confirmed and ratified with standards for design and so forth. But as the trend continues we'll see more move to their own design and hardware which is somewhat arguable if compared to the drug market and patents plus no on follows them in tech anyway and it just goes to court and ties up the case and when apple lost to same sung or vice versa before that the courts have them pull sales of a then old product anyway and they've worked their code just enough to get around what the courts show as IP and do it all over again w/o the lawsuits until something worth the money (bottleneck or real improvements) and they copy each other, but moores law imo was always like a pricing model i mean really who gets a million bucks for it working for 25 years (though it didn't and really showed why in Intel's last few attempts to finish the designs) as i wondered in the late 90's that if heat was bad for a cpu then whats the point of us putting 2x transistors into something using half the space (ig 1/2) and not just make the issue worse along with how we were always a few version ahead and by the time 7nm design came around I guess my 1st teacher forgot Moore had a 2nd law or maybe he added it as it had to do with price will be higher due to heat blah... Toshiba had beloved they solved how we'd do 7nm through in the cpu around 08' ironically that's where we landed not long ago and are still using today on the gamer chips or whatever you want to call them.

Though with anything 1st gen esp CPU's i'd hold off and wait as we've seen how the arm design has worked so far and really all they do is send them to twain semi fab centers, so the IP is minimal and both the 1st apple and google ones have had some serious issues and cheapened rapidly with little change from pixel 4-5 and 6-7 but the data collection and cpu using machine learning and data that requires us to pay for them to get our likely more valuable data now so it can be used for ai which is so far from being human or non bias having heard an intel talk with some old timers that have been working on AI since the 80's and giving basic info on how and why they've not been able to make much improvement even today when creating human like things with ai vs. repetitive tasks was I really sold that it won't happen in my lifetime not from lack of hardware to keep up but rather the types of questions that have to go into it and also I don't think a person can have no bias entirely with anything as we may call it preference or whatever, but really their chips now are focused on getting us to do the ML and pay for the design and use of the hardware to process it and send it back and that just seems like they should give it to me, plus really most things are cool ish when and if they work but it always takes way to many years and usually the risks and data loss and/or hidden crap they do that we have no choice in except demand side control but apple will market to people and get them to believe anything it seems, like the virus less mac commercials, perfect sized phone and never going to use a stylus just a fake pencil for 125 or whatever it was when they did and then the secure face id being un hack-able and hackers that had already beat it on the release given the costs alone would have been to high to actually do facial rec on the hardware available unless they wanted to lose more money (see their bond debt not just stock info), so they did the typical response no its not and then that is always a challenge to the hackers who actually followed responsible disclosure for a change as the newer gen wants to just dump this stuff w/o giving the vendor a change to fix it first, at least as a popular vote seems to show then money for 0day's came around so all the open source is essentially owned by closed source now, but hey work for free on a project and display your skills it is good if you want to enter the field and get actual experience and more so if you really think you are then shit you can prove it and the code or website or unshakable web host or whatever it maybe is there for you to prove it and the rest to see it and likely the job you wanted will be the job you want to make or didn't exist yet as offers and such will come if you learn the mentor game and get them in place early on ideally outside the geek field with maybe 1 or 2 max so someone knows your world and can help navigate through it or explain to your other board members when they miss something otherwise the best answer for most business, but tech is still new where manufacturing and industrialist's really same industry are near human perfection being 100's of years old now and defects are down hand over fist on autos and such nearly a six sigma.

to the topic, think about this one, they told us growing up if it sounds too good to be true it probably is, well many forgot their own advise as they got malware from free porn starting out with the PC at home and sadly dial up I guess it was round 2 or 5 by the time a large image in pixels as a measure or a short video clip would download like seconds not minutes here as the measure but why would Google give you a 6a for a 5a version and what's with the tax (I know but way to long see international tax requirements on big company's except amazon that is), but free likely because they want to get these devices out there and get as much data to work with so the next version 8 can offer something without microcode issues in the CPU and run faster like Samsung or qualcom's designs as google makes the money after the data is in and if the results are favorable not at the point of sale and well apple has moved to using google for just about all of its core asides from the outside designs.

I don't know if this is important for you but the 4 series was the last to get unlimited Google Photos. Got it very cheap with an old iPhone trade in

Use the 4a to transfer photos from my iPhone to google photos free as well as my Canon mirrorless camera
is it unlimited for life? or just until google decides to cut everyone off

I went in on this deal, but I ended up trading in for a pixel 7. $150 before taxes.

Yes. I can't imagine that the battery would still be functional on a 3a.

I have a pixel 3 that I'd like to trade, but the USB C port only works one way. Is that likely to cause problems with the trade in valuation?

How long after filling the survey are folks getting the pixel superfan code? Also, does anyone know if we can apply two different codes on two different orders?

I had 6a for a week and went back to my 4a 5G, free photos, great camera etc..

I`m not a fan of Pixel 6 or 7 design

It seems like most people find theirs online from a "friend"... Can't speak to the process of signing up for your own to give out though

Alternatively, you can also get the pixel 7 for $150 after trading in your pixel 5a for a value of $350.

But as the trend continues we'll see more move to their own design and hardware which is somewhat arguable if compared to the drug market and patents plus no on follows them in tech anyway and it just goes to court and ties up the case and when apple lost to same sung or vice versa before that the courts have them pull sales of a then old product anyway and they've worked their code just enough to get around what the courts show as IP and do it all over again w/o the lawsuits until something worth the money (bottleneck or real improvements) and they copy each other, but moores law imo was always like a pricing model i mean really who gets a million bucks for it working for 25 years (though it didn't and really showed why in Intel's last few attempts to finish the designs) as i wondered in the late 90's that if heat was bad for a cpu then whats the point of us putting 2x transistors into something using half the space (ig 1/2) and not just make the issue worse along with how we were always a few version ahead and by the time 7nm design came around I guess my 1st teacher forgot Moore had a 2nd law or maybe he added it as it had to do with price will be higher due to heat blah... Toshiba had beloved they solved how we'd do 7nm through in the cpu around 08' ironically that's where we landed not long ago and are still using today on the gamer chips or whatever you want to call them.

Though with anything 1st gen esp CPU's i'd hold off and wait as we've seen how the arm design has worked so far and really all they do is send them to twain semi fab centers, so the IP is minimal and both the 1st apple and google ones have had some serious issues and cheapened rapidly with little change from pixel 4-5 and 6-7 but the data collection and cpu using machine learning and data that requires us to pay for them to get our likely more valuable data now so it can be used for ai which is so far from being human or non bias having heard an intel talk with some old timers that have been working on AI since the 80's and giving basic info on how and why they've not been able to make much improvement even today when creating human like things with ai vs. repetitive tasks was I really sold that it won't happen in my lifetime not from lack of hardware to keep up but rather the types of questions that have to go into it and also I don't think a person can have no bias entirely with anything as we may call it preference or whatever, but really their chips now are focused on getting us to do the ML and pay for the design and use of the hardware to process it and send it back and that just seems like they should give it to me, plus really most things are cool ish when and if they work but it always takes way to many years and usually the risks and data loss and/or hidden crap they do that we have no choice in except demand side control but apple will market to people and get them to believe anything it seems, like the virus less mac commercials, perfect sized phone and never going to use a stylus just a fake pencil for 125 or whatever it was when they did and then the secure face id being un hack-able and hackers that had already beat it on the release given the costs alone would have been to high to actually do facial rec on the hardware available unless they wanted to lose more money (see their bond debt not just stock info), so they did the typical response no its not and then that is always a challenge to the hackers who actually followed responsible disclosure for a change as the newer gen wants to just dump this stuff w/o giving the vendor a change to fix it first, at least as a popular vote seems to show then money for 0day's came around so all the open source is essentially owned by closed source now, but hey work for free on a project and display your skills it is good if you want to enter the field and get actual experience and more so if you really think you are then shit you can prove it and the code or website or unshakable web host or whatever it maybe is there for you to prove it and the rest to see it and likely the job you wanted will be the job you want to make or didn't exist yet as offers and such will come if you learn the mentor game and get them in place early on ideally outside the geek field with maybe 1 or 2 max so someone knows your world and can help navigate through it or explain to your other board members when they miss something otherwise the best answer for most business, but tech is still new where manufacturing and industrialist's really same industry are near human perfection being 100's of years old now and defects are down hand over fist on autos and such nearly a six sigma.

to the topic, think about this one, they told us growing up if it sounds too good to be true it probably is, well many forgot their own advise as they got malware from free porn starting out with the PC at home and sadly dial up I guess it was round 2 or 5 by the time a large image in pixels as a measure or a short video clip would download like seconds not minutes here as the measure but why would Google give you a 6a for a 5a version and what's with the tax (I know but way to long see international tax requirements on big company's except amazon that is), but free likely because they want to get these devices out there and get as much data to work with so the next version 8 can offer something without microcode issues in the CPU and run faster like Samsung or qualcom's designs as google makes the money after the data is in and if the results are favorable not at the point of sale and well apple has moved to using google for just about all of its core asides from the outside designs.

crisp and to the point.

If you like battery and signal I would keep the 5a. Maybe 7a or 8a be better. My mom gets like 2 days out of hers.
