Google Pixel 3a and Pixel 3a XL was launched in Singapore on 8th May 2019.

Pixel 3a retails for S$659 featuring a 5.6″ display while its larger sibling, the Pixel 3a XL, retails for S$779 featuring a 6″ display.

There is only one official case from Google for the Pixel 3a/3a XL. And that is the Pixel 3a/3a XL Fabric Case.

It is officially available in Singapore via Google Online Store (Singapore) and it retails for S$60 for either Pixel 3a Fabric Case or Pixel 3a XL Fabric Case.

Bought the Google Home Hub during Black Friday as Google is having US$50 off the retail price of US$149.

I did not get the Google Home Hub from Google US Store as the chances of my order going through is close to zero. Similar to the Google Home Mini that I got for Black Friday last year, I got it directly from B&H Photo Video. They have the same promotion as Google US Store.

Google US Store is making life difficult for many people outside of the US that are trying to get the Google Home Mini for US$29 (S$40).

As the original retail price was US$49 (S$66), the 40% discount makes it hard not to buy it for fun.

Finally, Google Pixel 2 XL will be available in Singapore from 15th November 2017. It is exclusive to Singtel. The smaller brother, Google Pixel 2, will not be available.

Finally jumped onto the Google Home bandwagon.

Last year, I decided not to buy it despite it being priced at US$99 (S$136) because the ecosystem was not very mature yet. Fast forward six months later, it has improved quite a bit.
