Just remember that the Pixel 10 is launching in a couple weeks. Decent chance Best Buy has the trade in an iPhone 13 or whatever and get one free like they have the last couple years. I would definitely wait unless you need a phone immediately.

I tried that, iOS is so incredibly primitive that I'd rather use a buggy Pixel than an iPhone.

These are probably worth more for trade in when getting the pixel 10!
I don't know about this. Currently if buying a Pixel 9 from the Google Store, and you trade in a 8a, the trade in is valued at $127

Can someone provide any pros and cons of buying this from Amazon vs buying from Google Store?

what new phone would you suggest for $400?
It depends a lot on what is important to you. If my Motorola Edge Plus 2022 died today I'd get a Motorola G Stylus 5G 2024 from Amazon for $250. Motorola tends to have pretty good phones at pretty low prices. I'm sure the camera isn't as good and it doesn't get as fast or as many android updates as a pixel, but those things aren't all that critical for me. Since the 2025 has been out for a while, I'd expect the price to drop lower in the next few months until they run out of stock.

Still haven't gotten my $150 coupon from the Pixel 6a battery claim. Crazy that they are taking so long. Everyone else got their code in hours, not weeks.
It took a week to get my code.

Lol I keep a close eye when it's charging. But yes it's not the safest thing to do. But the actual chance of it causing a fire is still pretty low.
FYI you can probably get Google to replace that battery for free. I took my Pixel 7 in to get a new battery for the same reason a few months ago. It was far outside of warranty so I paid out of pocket. However after I got home I saw online that Google was replacing bulging batteries in devices outside of their warranty since it is a safety hazard. So I complained in a chat. First chat guy denied me. I complained again and eventually Google refunded me for the repair.

In fairness to the 5300, it definitely got better over time but it took many updates. Less of a worry today than when it debuted in the 7, but still well ahead of the modem they used in the 6 series.

I will say the 9 series modem cleared it from day 1.

Even BestBuy is selling this for $399 now. Any additional benefits of buying from Amazon vs. Google vs. BestBuy? Which one should you buy from?

You can save $100 more by ordering it on BB and activating with verizon. You can then cancel the account once the phone ships. Activation fee is waived if cancelled within 3 days, See these threads for step by step instructions and discussions

Good price to pair with the $150 6a rebate.
Just wait till you find out your code doesn't work on sale prices only full price. At least that's what I have discovered. Better to take the cash and then trade in your phone and get the 40-75$ on sale price.

It's $75 for trade-in, where you see $150?
There is a battery issue with 6a. You can check to see if your 6a is affected. They are offering 150 towards a trade-in in a new phone or 100 cash or a free battery replacement. From my experience codes don't work on sale prices of phones tho, but for all I know they made an exception for this 150$ code they are giving out. I didn't take a chance and opted for the 100$ cash
