More than likely Google is going to announce the Pixel 3a and Pixel 3a XL on Tuesday, May 7. But it looks like one big box retailer wanted to get the jump on the competition by a few days.

As was first reported by Android Police, a Best Buy in Springfield, Ohio, actually put the Pixel 3a XL out there on store shelves. In the images we can see a pair of purple Pixel 3a XL units, as well as a similar model in black. The box confirms a few speculated specifications, including a six-inch display on the larger model, as well as 64GB of built-in storage.

The model number is G020C. We don’t get a confirmation on price, however, Rumor has it the Pixel 3a will start at $399, though, and the Pixel 3a XL will go for $479 when they go on sale here soon. Unfortunately there isn’t a lot more to go on here. But it is kind of awesome to see the boxes out there in the wild, ready to go on sale.

When the Pixel 3a and Pixel 3a XL will go on sale remains to be seen. It sure looks like the delay between announcement and going on sale shouldn’t be long, though. So if you’ve been eagerly awaiting the arrival of the Pixel 3a lineup, it looks like next week may be pretty exciting.
