Google stops selling Pixel 3 and Pixel 3 XL
Google is no longer selling its Pixel 3 and Pixel 3 XL phones in its online store.
Android Police noticed that the web pages that previously contained listings for the phones now redirect to the store’s homepage, and a Google spokesperson confirmed to the outlet that the change was intentional. The Pixel 3 and Pixel 3 XL are also no longer visible in the dropdown menu on top of the homepage or the carousel menu on the bottom.
If you dig a little deeper into Google Store, you will find a mention of the Pixel 3, but if you click it you will once again be redirected to the homepage.
The primary two phones in Google’s store are now the company’s Pixel 4 and Pixel 4 XL devices, which launched last October.
Notably, Google’s Pixel 3a, a cheaper version of the Pixel 3, is still available for purchase directly from Google. This is likely because the rumored Pixel 4a still hasn’t launched.
Given that the Pixel 4A has already appeared in hands-on photos, it’s likely to launch quite soon, possibly April. However, the ongoing coronavirus outbreak may delay Google’s plans.
There’s nothing odd about the removal of the Pixel 3 and Pixel 3 XL from Google Store, as Google typically cleans up its inventory around this time. But it does mean that getting one of these older phones, which are still pretty good, is going to get pretty hard soon. For now, you can still get a Pixel 3 at Best Buy for $449.99.
