Not so long ago, nearly the whole spec sheet of Google’s upcoming Pixel 4a was leaked. From the display and design to all the nitty-gritty stuff, we pretty much know everything about the Pixel 4a. Perhaps the only area these leaks didn’t cover so much was how the Pixel 4a is going to be priced. Based on its successor from last year, one could assume it will be priced around the $400 USD mark, rivaling directly with Apple’s latest endeavor — the iPhone SE. Well, Google might have just caught everyone by surprise.
If the latest rumors are to be believed, Google might even undercut Apple’s iPhone SE by quite a margin. According to Stephen Hall of 9to5Google, it’s now rumored that the 64 GB base model will only cost $299 USD, with the 128 GB variant set to be priced at just $349 USD. To put things in perspective, that’s a whole $100 USD cheaper than the newest iPhone SE across the board. Whether the release of the iPhone SE has anything to do with that, Google is surely piling a lot of pressure on Apple now.
Personally, I believe Google’s Pixel 4a is a better buy overall even if priced at $399 USD overall. But now, Google’s latest offering has just got a lot more enticing. As always, rumors should be taken with a pinch of salt, even if Google’s track record of keeping things under the wraps is not the best one.
