Google is offering price discounts on members of the Pixel family this Easter. The Pixel 3a and 3a XL will be £30 off when purchased from a few retailers including the Google Store (opens in new tab), Currys (opens in new tab), John Lewis, and Argos (opens in new tab). This will knock the price of the smaller Pixel down to £299, and that of the larger Pixel to £369. This deal runs from March 31st through April 21st. If you'd prefer to purchase it on contract, EE will be offering 30GB of data for the price of 10GB. It'll run from April 1st to April 30th.

Whe reviewing the Pixel 3a XL, we noted:

At $479 the Pixel 3a XL feels like a bit of a bargain. If you're into smaller phones, the $399 Pixel 3a is even more so. These phones have maintained most of what makes the Pixel 3 series among the most enjoyable phones to use, and in my week-long testing, I've noticed none of the performance hiccups that sullied some of that luster.I miss wireless charging, and the lack of waterproofing is a bit of a bummer, but otherwise the biggest compliment I can give to the Pixel 3a series is that it using it on a day-to-day basis is practically indistinguishable from the Pixel 3. That may be its biggest curse, too, but at under $500 people are likely to be a lot more forgiving.

The comment holds true at a lower price.

Google's first budget Pixel phone brings an excellent camera, fast Android updates, and slick performance for less than most flagships. A discount just makes this already good handset even more attractive.

Alongside the Pixel 3a family, Google is also offering discounts on some of its home devices. Most notably, this includes the excellent Google Nest Mini, Google's Nest Hub, and the Google Home Max and others like the Chromecast and Chromecast Ultra.

These deals are active now and run through April 21st on the UK Google Store.

  • I want a new chromecast ultra... Thinking I'm probably better waiting and seeing if the new one with Android TV happens though, because why not.
  • These deals don't seem to be live. Is the article incorrect? Should the start date be April 1st?
  • For the average Tom Dick or Mary, these are the true value pixels? I'm a tech geek and I'm enjoying the heck out of my 3a XL? That camera, best in class, better than most flagships. The OLED display is very good. This guy get's me 6to7hrs SOT. Then the 670processer works admirably, no lags or stutters. Yes sir, I would recommend both phones to anyone, the average consumer or the tech freak. When it comes to being a true value both the 3a & 3a XL are very good. You DON'T have to spend a g-whizz to get a very good phone. These two are living proof!
