Folks at 9to5Google says we can expect the Pixel 4a to offer a 5.81″ display with a resolution of 2340 x 1080. Last year’s was 2,220 x 1,080. That display will feature a cutout for the front-facing camera, but unlike the Pixel 4 lineup, there will be no Soli sensors or enhanced Face Unlock onboard.
Going down the line of specs, the phone is now reported to also feature a Snapdragon 730 processor, 6GB RAM, 3080mAh battery, up to 128GB onboard storage, 18W fast charging (no wireless charging), 3.5mm headphone jack, plus a 12-megapixel rear camera with both OIS and EIS. As far as Android phones go, this sounds like a barebones mid-ranger device if I’ve ever heard of one.
This device will work on all major US carriers and be available in at least two colors: Just Black and Barely Blue.
If you’re wanting this phone right now, you can blame COVID-19 for any delay in its release. It was previously expected to be announced at this year’s Google I/O in May, but as you probably know, that was all cancelled. There is currently no concrete date for when Google may announce the Pixel 4a, but hopefully, it’s soon. With this phone releasing, we can see a mid-range phone battle between Samsung’s Galaxy A51, the OnePlus 8 and Pixel 4a.
