- Google has discontinued the Pixel 3a and Pixel 3a XL.

The 2019 Google mid-range smartphones have completed their successful run and are now being grazed. The company has confirmed that it is discontinuing Pixel 3a and Pixel 3a XL.

In a statement to Android PoliceA Google spokesperson said: “The Google Store has sold through its inventory and completed Pixel 3a sales. For people who are still interested in purchasing Pixel 3a, the product is available from some partners while supplies last.”
The statement came after the official Google Store listing for the Pixel 3a series began showing the phones’ status as “Not Available.” Since then it has changed to “Out of Stock”, making it clear that Google is not parting with more affordable pixel units.
Google Pixel 3a discontinued: what next?
The discontinuation of the Pixel 3a series marks the end of the entire Pixel 3 line. The flagship Pixel 3 and 3XL were discontinued in March this year.

However, no one seems to have any idea when Google will finally remove the caps from that one.
