The impact of COVID-19 has altered the normal schedule for technology this year, but perhaps the biggest change has been the launch of the Pixel 4a. We know that the phone was originally supposed to hit Google I / O, but what seems like an eternity later will finally be released. The question is, however, did Google wait too long to launch Pixel 4a?
Google’s Pixel 4a has been leaked countless times right now, and we’ve known everything there is to know about the phone for … well, for months. As confirmed by a Google Store leak, the Pixel 4a was originally supposed to debut in mid-May, but the cancellation of Google I / O also ended up postponing that date indefinitely.
In the past few months, there has been no clear evidence of a new release date until yesterday. A teaser page on the Google Store that we quickly decoded confirmed the good news: Pixel 4a launch day is August 3.
That’s almost three months after the phone was originally supposed to debut, but given the state of the world, it feels like an eternity. In that time, too, some other inexpensive devices have hit the market to fill the void that the Pixel 4a left for some customers. Apple’s iPhone SE is a tough device to argue against, Samsung’s Galaxy A51 is quite entitled to the money, and the new OnePlus Nord is a tremendously good value for an Android phone.
So in your case did Google wait to launch Pixel 4a? Personally, I think the company should have delayed this announcement for a couple more months and debuted Pixel 5 and Pixel 4a (or, preferably, Pixel 5a), all at the same time.
There is also another qualm that some will undoubtedly have with this release. As we’ve seen confirmed twice, Pixel 4a won’t launch with an XL variant. The Pixel 4a 5G that we know will arrive could end up being a bigger device, but we don’t know when it will arrive!
