Apart from the pricing, one particular detail that remained under the wraps till now is when the Pixel 4a will be announced. Last year, Google announced the Pixel 3a during the annual Google I/O event. Had it not be for the deadly COVID-19 pandemic bringing everything to a complete halt, this should have been the case for this year’s Pixel 4a almost certainly. But, with the I/O event completely scrapped, Google left us with no bread crumbs to follow. It was thought by many that the Pixel 4a will be announced on June 3rd, tied in with the Android 11 Beta Launch Show announced earlier. But it seems that this might not be the case either, according to the latest rumor.
Last year’s Pixel 3a was met with raving reviews for being one of the best budget phones on the market. This has made the Pixel 4a one of the most anticipated phones of the year. Fortunately, it has leaked quite a bit already, so here’s everything we know about the upcoming smartphone from Google.
Earlier this week, new rumors suggested that Google might price its mid-range Pixel 4a, the 128 GB model, at $349, much cheaper than we originally thought. This not only puts it in contention with Apple’s newly released iPhone SE but also undercuts it by a substantial $100 margin. It all seems a bit too good to believe. But according to the latest evidence, Google might be really going for the jugular, at least when it comes to the mid-range market.

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.

Not so long ago, Apple caught almost everyone by a surprise with their latest iPhone, the iPhone SE. The formula is very simple: old-school hardware, upgraded internals for cheap. And in an era where a $900 OnePlus 8 Pro is considered a great value for the money, a $400 brand new iPhone looked like the bargain of the century. I, for one, believed that Apple might have stolen Google’s thunder before even releasing their own Pixel 4a. But, as the dust settled, I began to think otherwise. Without further ado, here is where the Google Pixel 4a could give the iPhone SE a good run for its money.
