Google's upcoming affordable smartphone Pixel 4a |
According to XDA, the three code names of the note are Sunfish, Redfin and Bramble. Sunfish is reportedly equipped with Snapdragon 730, a Qualcomm chipset with only 4G for mid-range phones. Given that the Pixel 4a is likely to be deployed around $ 400, the lack of 5G will not be a dealbreaker.
AT&T and Verizon are focusing on rolling out 5G |
The US is undoubtedly the largest market for Pixel, but AT&T and Verizon are focusing on rolling out the mmWave 5G, putting the meaningful benefits of the 5G Pixel 4a in this country at a disadvantage. Certainly, the nationwide 600mHz 5G from T-Mobile is one thing and the 2500Mhz mid-band 5G from Sprint is growing slowly, but America's largest providers remain without statistically significant 5G implementations, and there is little hope for change in the near future . .
Moreover, the Pixel 4a seems to bring a premium middle class with a more powerful chipset and an expensive 5G modem to reflect what the Pixel 3a and Pixel were a 3a XL: good facial components combined with excellent. Software support and a fantastic camera. With $ 480, the 3A XL was a bit closer to the 'budget flagship' range. A 4a XL that can cost $ 550 or more - after all, a 5G refusal price is still not a premium - is done well in the occupied space of brands such as OnePlus. I could hardly imagine a world in which a Pixel 4A XL 5G can easily be compared to a OnePlus 8 (possibly with 5G) for a dollar.
Google PIxel 4 not Available in INDIA |
Yet we are talking about Google here; A company that is sometimes contradictory and likes to change direction with an instant. Can we see the 5G Pixel 4a (XL?) For certain markets, as well as a cheaper, cheaper 4G model? Can we see two 5G pixels for those markets, with a smaller and larger version, while the rest of the world only has a smaller 4G version? I don't know, and this story makes the entire Google plan much less clear. We may have to wait for Google I / O to find out what's really going on here.
