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.

I'm glad I read this before I made a move! I love the rear fingerprint as well. It's very good. I just wish it did what my old Motorola did and it turned the phone off as well as on. It was very convenient.

Yeah the fingerprint thing was much better on 5a. But I still did this trade online. If in Google One 2tb plan you get 10% back and if the superfan code works another $100 in Google play credit. Not too many Google stores so that's another option.

FYI, Google extended the warranty for an extra year on that unit because of issues with the display. YMMV, of course.

I'm not in love with my 5a by any means, but take the well documented problems of the 6a combined with the fact that that Google is clearly desperate to move those pieces of trash...F that
