the Google Pixel 4a It looks ready for an impending launch after landing at the FCC, though there is a slight catch.
Mishaal Rahman (via The edge) posted on Twitter that the FCC had directed him to a new presentation of a Google phone codenamed “G025J”. The FCC only holds the phones in their hands when they’re almost ready for launch, hence our expectation that we will see it soon.
It is not a fact that it is the Pixel 4a, but since the Pixel 4 was called “G020”, it seems to make sense that this is the next Pixel family phone.
What this list also reveals is that there will be no Motion Sense functionality on the Pixel 4a. Since the Soli radar chip that powers these features uses specific millimeter-wave radio signals, this would have been something the FCC would have tested to make sure it was safe for users. This is not mentioned in the list, so it stands to reason that there is no Motion Sense on this phone.
We expected this from other leaks, but it’s always good to get more evidence for certain claims. Given that the Pixel 4a is believed to be dropping the Pixel 4’s large bezel for a perforated display, and is meant to be a much cheaper device, it seemed that Google would have neither the space nor the budget to add this feature.

The FCC is only interested in the radio frequencies produced by the phone, but we want to know everything. Long-standing rumors tell us that the Pixel 4a will come in a single 5.8-inch size, rather than the standard and XL variants of the Pixel 3a. We also heard that it will have a single rear camera and a single selfie camera, a rear-mounted fingerprint scanner, and an OLED display. It will have a new processor, probably the Snapdragon 730 chipset along with 8GB of RAM.
We also expect a price of $ 400 or less. This was the cost of the basic Pixel 3a last year. But now that Google has strong competition from Apple and the iPhone SE (2020)You need all the advantages you can get, including a cheaper price if you can manage it.
The Pixel 4a release date has changed several times this year, likely as Google tries to keep up with the rapidly changing issues caused by the coronavirus pandemic. After missing the expected reveal dates in May and June, it is now slated for a possible July release.
However, other rumors claim that Google will launch Pixel 4a in October, along with Pixel 5. As Rahman said in his original tweet, Google could rename Pixel 4a to Pixel 5a as a result, so its flagship phones and budget have a greater similarity.
