Prosser does pose the more major question. At this moment in time, especially after the OnePlus Nords statement, the Pixel 4a may have already lost part of its appeal. Once again, no phone (other than the late Essential) has actually ever matched the Pixels speed in Android updates but that benefit might have ended up being almost minimal considering the growing list of hardware issues that Googles phones have displayed over the years and generations.
August 3 is the final date that Jon Prosser has provided, the first Monday of the month. It is likewise two days prior to Samsungs Unpacked 2020 event. The 2 target different audiences and tiers, naturally, however that date nearly ensures that the Pixel 4a will be right away buried under a mountain of Samsung-related protection.
The Pixel 4a is unfashionably late while rumors about the Pixel 5s development are even less encouraging. The Pixel 3a launched in May last year and, had the world stayed normal, the Pixel 4a would have launched on that month. That, of course, would have made the Pixel 4a immediately outdated thinking about the Pixel 5 is thought to at least have the very same Snapdragon 765G processor.
It could have been even worse, with some reports indicating an October launch alongside the Pixel 5. That, of course, would have made the Pixel 4a instantly obsolete considering the Pixel 5 is believed to at least have the very same Snapdragon 765G processor. Now at least there is word that the cheaper Pixel will be being available in less than 2 weeks.
Google isnt having a good year as far as its Pixel phones go. Sure, it may have surprisingly sold more the OnePlus in 2015 but it is barely indicative of the health of what should be the shining example of the Android platform as provided by Google. The Pixel 4a is unfashionably late while reports about the Pixel 5s development are even less comforting. Practically a quarter past due, the Pixel 4a might finally have a launch date but even the option of that date feels doubtful.
The Pixel 3a introduced in May last year and, had the world stayed typical, the Pixel 4a would have introduced on that month. The world, sadly, is far from normal and it was not unimaginable that the Pixel 4a would be postponed. It was, nevertheless, frustrating to realize it is already delayed by two months.
