Good news for Canadian users who have been smitten by Google’s recently announced Pixel and Pixel XL phones.

Carrier Telus just announced the Pixel duo is now available at Telus stores across the country and also online. The company is selling the phones in the following configurations:

  • Pixel with 32GB of RAM – CAD$200 on 2-year Premium Plus plan
  • Pixel with 32GB of RAM – CAD$400 on 2-year Premium smartphone plan

Telus is offering the Pixel in two colors, so customers can have their pick at the Silver or Black model.

Moving on to the larger phone, here are the available configurations:

  • Pixel XL with 32GB of RAM – CAD$350 on 2-year Premium Plus plan
  • Pixel XL with 32GB of RAM – CAD$550 with 2-year Premium smartphone plan

The Pixel XL is available in Black.

As you can see Telus does not offer the 128GB option, which is a bit hard to come-by. Other Canadian carriers like Bell or Rogers are also lacking this particular variant.

Rogers offer for the Pixel and Pixel XL goes along these lines:

  • Pixel with 32GB – CAD$199.99 with Premium+ Tab plan
  • Pixel with 32GB – CAD$399.99 with Premium Tab plan
  • Pixel XL with 32GB – CAD$349.99 with Premium+ Tab plan
  • Pixel XL with 32GB – CAD$549.99 with Premium Tab plan

As for Bell, here’s how the carrier plans to lure Pixel fans:

  • Pixel with 32GB – CAD$399.99 on 2-year plan with $80 minimum spend
  • Pixel with 32GB – CAD$899.99 no-term
  • Pixel XL with 32GB – CAD$549.99 on 2-year plan with $80 minimum spend
  • Pixel XL with 32GB – CAD$1049.99 no-term

But if you truly want more space, the good news is that you can order the chunkier version from online retailer Fido.

The main differences between the Pixel and the Pixel XL are the display size (5-inch vs 5.5-inch), battery capacity (3,450 vs 2,770 mAh) and resolution (FHD vs QHD).

The Google Play Store sells the two phones for:

  • Pixel 32GB: CAD$899
  • Pixel 128GB: CAD$1029
  • Pixel XL 32GB: CAD$1049
  • Pixel XL 128GB: CAD$1179

Telus also announced that is the co-title sponsor of WE Day across Canada, so whenever customers buy a Pixel or Pixel XL $25 will end up being donated towards the event.
