UPDATE: This post was updated to reflect that Amazon is giving away a $100 Amazon gift card with each Pixel 3a and 3a XL purchase. –Paul
Google’s latest mid-range wonders, the Pixel 3a and Pixel 3a XL, are now available directly from Amazon.com. The online retailer never sold the Pixel 3; it is still available on Amazon only from third-party resellers.

The prices are the same as at the Google Store, but you may prefer to buy from Amazon because they’re offering a $100 Amazon gift card with each purchase. Or because of your customer relationship there and its more liberal return policies. Plus, these are affiliate links, so you’d be helping me out as well:
Google Pixel 3a (64 GB, in Just Black, Clearly White, or Purple-ish): $399
Google Pixel 3a XL (64 GB, in Just Black, Clearly White, or Purple-ish): $479
My review is probably a week or two away—I need to review the Pixel 3 XL first—but barring any unforeseen issues, I expect to be able to recommend it heartily. These phones appear to be unique values in the mid-range of the smartphone market, and viable alternatives for many to far more expensive flagship smartphones. Certainly, I have an easier time recommending them than I do the far-too-expensive Pixel 3 XL.
