That’s a pretty steep discount! However it’s not live yet on the Google Store and apparently it’s limited to the US market for now.

EDIT: even at this time the deal is still not live on Google Store, looks like they might have a supply problem.

On Google Fi however it is listed but it is out of stock:

EDIT 2: looks like Google canceled the deal.

    I bought a used one on Amazon last week for $200

    However, it turned out to be the Verizon version which can never have the OS replaced due to its locked bootloader.

    I returned it and bought a 7a instead, but if this sale had been available at the time I would have saved a bundle and gone with the 6a

    Seems like a good time for me to try out GrapheneOS, if/when this price ever goes live

    Has anyone tried it with mint mobile? My mother is searching for a new phone, this looks good enough.
