Pixels are the only phones I know that drop so quickly in price and that's even through legit retailers.

For context, the Pixel 10 Pro XL RRPs at £1199.

A few months after release you could get it, the Pixel charger stand and the Watch 4 and 2 years of service for £900.

The 10a which came recently retails at £599? You could have gotten it for £270 last month

I bought the Pixel 10a 2 weeks ago for £250 + a £10 top-up.

I feel like Pixel Phones are like takeaway pizza - nobody pay full price for it.

Was that the giffgaff one? I bought it for voxi a few weeks earlier for £270!

It was indeed! It came in at a good time, my Pixel 9 Pro XL died rather suddenly thanks to the Camera bar detaching itself and me jumping into a pool with it.

Took a week of arguing with Google before they agreed to replace it (Replacement arriving today, actually).

I'll give the 10a its dues, it's quite an impressive little phone and a bargain at £250. Feels snappier than my 9 Pro XL, just a shame I need the bigger screen.

For the context - used Pixel 9 Pro 16GB RAM - £300
