Google will almost certainly unveil the Pixel 4a today, a sequel to last year’s Pixel 3a. Even though Google hasn’t launched the device yet, we already know a lot about the budget-friendly smartphone. With the Pixel 4a reportedly going to cost $349, there’s a lot of interest in a Pixel 3a successor. Besides the standard Pixel 4a, what we also likely see today is a 5G-enabled Pixel 4a with slightly superior specs and high price – if we believe the hype.
Here’s a look at everything we know about the Google Pixel 4a.
As you might expect from a low-end Pixel phone, the Pixel 4a – especially the base model – will have a Snapdragon 730G processor along with 6GB RAM and 128GB of storage. Meanwhile, the other models are supposed to get a slightly improved Snapdragon processor, though details are not out yet. Expect the Pixel 4a to sport a familiar square camera array on the back of the phone, with the power button and volume rocker on the right side. Some leaks suggest the phone will carry a 3.5mm headphone jack.
The entry-level Pixel 3a was so good when it made its debut last year. With the Pixel 4a, Google will be using the same formula to create a compact smartphone with a mid-range processor, excellent camera and slick Android experience. However, this time, the pressure is on Google to launch the phone at an even lower price bracket. All signs indicate a $349 price for the Pixel 4a with 128GB storage. The original Pixel 3a was launched at $399. Notably, the iPhone SE (2020) starts at $399. By charging $50 less for the Pixel 4a, Google may potentially lure budget-conscious customers who aren’t willing to spend their money on the iPhone SE and OnePlus Nord.
