The Pixel 6a is slowly moving in that direction, though, as it’s just gone live at Best Buy this week.
Live as of this week, the Pixel 6a is now available through Best Buy on a listing that says the device is “coming soon.” Of course, we know when the phone is going to be available for pre-orders, and that’s on July 21, with formal sales set to arrive not long after.The Pixel 6a at Best Buy is the same phone sold through the Google Store, but buyers have the option to purchase with their carrier in mind, and often getting a discount in that process.Whereas last year’s admittedly-great Pixel 5a was only sold through the Google Store, and only in a couple of regions, the new Tensor-powered mid-ranger is being sold through partners, and in every country Google has been selling Pixels in – the company is even launching the device in India, the first time Google has sold a device there in almost two years.
