During Black Friday, Best Buy had a great deal on the Google Pixel 4a 5G, our best Android budget phone pick. That deal is unfortunately gone, but that doesn't mean you can't save on the smartphone at all before Christmas. Best Buy still wants you to save some money, as if you activate today, you'll save $90 on the unlocked phone.

Why pick up the Pixel 4a 5G? It's one of the most affordable smartphones you can get with 5G! It's not the cheapest 5G phone, but you know what you're getting with the Pixel line of products, and this unlocked version can go to any carrier.

Best Buy usually offers a deal if you decide to activate your phone with a carrier immediately upon purchase, but that deal is typically locked at $50. With the Google Pixel 4A 5G, though, you'll save $90 by activating today! With the MSRP already only $500, picking this up for $410 is a great deal.

The only catch is that by activating at Best Buy today, you'll need to go with one of their carriers for the activation. That will end up being Verizon, AT&T, or Sprint! If you really want to activate later, you still get a $40 discount on the phone, but it's certainly not as nice of a discount. With Verizon and AT&T, you don't need a new line or anything for the full discount, either!

Basically, if you want a Google Pixel 4a 5G before Christmas, you won't want to sleep on this deal. This deal can be delivered to your door or picked up at the store if stock is available. If you need a gift or an upgrade, there's no reason to wait!

Save $90 on the Pixel 4a 5G by activating today with Best Buy! If you decide not to activate your phone right away, you can save $40.
