- The Pixel 4a release date is still a mystery, as Google has postponed the release of its affordable next-gen handset.
- A new leak reveals that Google has considered making a bigger version of the phone, the Pixel 4a XL, that many people expected to see in stores this spring.
- Several reports have claimed that the Pixel 4a XL was canceled, but a new series of photos reveal the phone would have offered a better camera experience than the smaller model that’s still expected to launch.
Google should have released the Pixel 4a phone at this year’s Google I/O event that was initially scheduled for mid-May. But then, the novel coronavirus pandemic forced governments to impose stricter social distancing measures that included the cancelation of public gatherings such as a developers conference. We still expected the Pixel 4a to be unveiled online this month, even without a formal I/O 2020 press conference. But then Apple launched the brand new iPhone SE, priced at $399, which was the rumored price of the Pixel 4a. Since then, we heard that the Pixel 4a would be even cheaper than planned, starting at $349, but the launch slipped to June and then July. We’re nowhere closer to getting any official news about the Pixel 4a, but we do have one more Pixel leak, one that says Google considered making an XL version of the handset, one that could have been even better than the low-cost model.
