Google Pixel 3a price cut
The Pixel 3a and Pixel 3a XL will goth get a discount on Flipkart during the sale. Google has announced that the price will be Rs 29,999 and Rs 34,999 for the Pixel 3a and 3a XL respectively. This is a steep discount from the original price of Rs 39,999 and Rs 44,999, which was significantly higher than the US prices at launch.
Google in press release said that the price cut on the Pixel 3a series will be valid from September 30 to October 4.

Google Pixel 3a at Rs 29,999: Does it make sense?
For the Pixel 3a in India, the biggest problem when it launched was justifying the price for the kind of specifications it sported. The Flipkart sale will correct that given the phones are getting a discount of nearly Rs 10,000 compared to the original MRP.
If you are looking for the best camera experience for under Rs 35,000, the Pixel 3a series certainly makes a strong case for itself. Both the Pixel 3a and 3a XL spot the similar 12MP rear camera, but Google has given these phones all the camera features seen on the bigger, more expensive Pixel 3 phones. The Night Sight mode, HDR+ technology, Portrait mode, Super Res Zoom are all part of the Pixel 3a phones, and in our review, the camera performed admirably.
Pixel 3a series certainly offers superior, more stable camera experience compared to many of the other options in the market. But the problem is that players like Xiaomi, OnePlus, Oppo, vivo and others are offering better specifications, performance at a similar price.
