If you have been following the Pixel series closely, you might have noticed the buzz surrounding the Pixel 4a. It is an essentials-only smartphone, designed to give consumers a lower-cost alternative to Google's flagship handsets. The phone's design will be very similar to the Pixel 4 but the camera may be quite different. The model rumored will sport a 5.8" display and a single rear-facing camera. However, it is unknown how much RAM is included.
While the Pixel 4a won't compete on price or specs, it has an exciting new design. The smartphone's body is made of polycarbonate. This material is used in low-cost flagship phones. The phone is also expected to have 6GB RAM.
The fingerprint scanner may be available, but it will only have limited functionality. A big plus is the absence of an edge-to–edge display.
Although the release date of Pixel 4a is unknown, there are some indications that it may not be available until June 2020. The phone will launch in Australia on September 10 and the UK on October 1. It will be released in the US starting August 20.
The new phone will offer a lot of the same features as the Pixel 4. This includes a new design, focus camera, battery and solid core Android experience. However, the Pixel 4a’s camera may be the most important. According to some sources, the Pixel 4a will feature a 12.2-megapixel autofocus lens. According to another report, the Pixel 4a will be able to preview HDR photos live. However, certain sources claim that this phone won't include the advanced facial recognition feature found on the Pixel 3a/4 XL.
The Pixel 4a is a mid-range smartphone, but it can handle the most demanding applications. The smartphone can play PUBG on high frame rates and with great graphics. With the Pixel 4a’s improved battery, users can expect around 24 hours usage from a single charge.
The phone is expected to cost less than S$500. Although it is expensive for a high end smartphone, the cost should be affordable compared to other comparable-priced options. Despite not being equipped with fancy features, the Pixel 4a offers plenty of storage. The Pixel 4a is said to have 128GB of storage that can't be expanded and a 3,140 mAh lithium battery.
The phone will be available in two colors: black and blue. Sources claim that the blue model has been dropped from the lineup. The removal could be due to the existence of COVID-19 cases that caused Apple to close several retail stores.
If the rumors are true, the Pixel 4a's release date is very far off. Numerous stores around the world have been closed, including in the United States. Google might want to wait for the stores to reopen before they close.
