totally forgot about the launch. isn’t $499 cheaper than the pixel 3a when it launched?
Yes you’re right, Shaun. The Pixel 3a was priced at $659 during its launch in Singapore in May last year. Now it’s only $499.
i thought so. I think $499 is a more reasonable price. I might just go place a pre-order tomorrow! Thanks for the info.
the pixel 3a was a good phone which was why it sold well. I haven’t tried the 4a yet, but with a lower price tag, the latest features, and the Pixel 4 main rear camera, it should be a good buy. Good luck with the pre-order!
