Google’s wildly popular Pixel and Pixel XL have run into major backorders ever since they were released on October 20th. While early adopters were able to get their pre-orders in on launch day, very few customers were actually able to get their hands on the Really Blue limited edition Pixel.
For the first time since its release, the Really Blue 32GB Pixel is finally available to order and will ship as soon as December 9th. The Really Blue limited edition is only available in the smaller 5.0″ device which is better for one handed use and for squeezing into smaller pockets. The internals are the same as the Pixel XL and its price tag is $649 with free shipping included. For those of you who can’t afford to drop all of that cash in one go, Google does offer financing through Synchrony Bank where you can split 24 payments of $27.04 over 24 months.
Google has not announced exactly how limited the Really Blue edition will be so it could be one of 5 million or 50 million. The Really Blue edition is limited to the US too.
