The same goes for the $199 Pixel Buds Pro (scroll down to see a $15 off deal), Google’s first wireless earbuds to include active noise cancellation and ship in several bright color options. These go on sale the same day and you can pre-order right now. We have a review of the Pixel 6A here from Allison Johnson, and we’ll have a full review of the Pixel Buds Pro within the next few days. But whatever gadget you’re after, we’ve rounded up some shopping links and deals you might want to know about.
Where to pre-order the Pixel 6A
Compared to the 6.4-inch Pixel 6, the Pixel 6A’s 6.1-inch OLED display is much better suited for people with smaller hands or who simply prefer a smaller phone. It has some key features in common with Google’s more expensive flagship phones, most notably that it has the same Tensor processor. Also, its overall design (combining the Pixel 6 and the upcoming Pixel 7) and Android software experience are familiar.
Its camera hardware is one department that takes a hit due to the lower price, though it should deliver excellent photos compared to other phones in its price range. It has two rear cameras, one of which is a 12.2-megapixel primary camera, while the other is a 12-megapixel ultra-wide lens with a 114-degree field of view. It has an 8 megapixel selfie camera.
Verizon is making the Pixel 6A free (in the sense that you’ll get promotional charge credits back every month for 36 months, totaling $499.99 at the end) for people who can activate a new phone line on 5G Start, 5G Do More , 5G Play or 5G Get more unlimited plans.
If you just upgrade to Verizon and join one of the 5G Unlimited plans, you’ll get $100 off the total. (Keep in mind, this discount will be paid back to you in monthly installments over a period of 36 months.)

Where to pre-order the Pixel Buds Pro
As mentioned earlier, the Pixel Buds Pro feature active noise cancellation, which can silence your surroundings while you listen to tunes. They’ll also arrive with multi-point connectivity, making the buds capable of automatically switching between the last two connected Bluetooth devices — from laptops and TVs to Android and iOS phones. Support for spatial audio will debut later this year, Google says, which will make watching a movie or show on compatible Pixel phones more immersive. Other notable features include IPX4 water resistance and the ability to issue hands-free voice commands thanks to Google Assistant support. Additionally, the Pixel Buds Pro come with interchangeable ear tips for a more customized—and therefore comfortable—fit. Google further claims that the Pixel Buds Pro charge wirelessly and provide up to 11 hours of listening time (or seven hours if you use active noise cancellation).
