Google Pixel 4a 5G release date, specs and price

Google already confirmed that it's working on a Pixel 4a 5G. Here is what to expect from the Pixel 4a 5G, a 5G version of Google's mid-range 5G phone. Let's have a look at its specifications. 

Google Pixel 4a 5G specification (expected)

Google Pixel 4a 5G has an OLED panel display. Pixel 4a 5G will have a 6.2-inch screen. we're expecting a 60Hz refresh rate, just like the Pixel 4a. Google Pixel 4a 5G gets the same 12.2MP rear camera and 8MP front camera that are found on the Pixel 4a, but that's not a bad thing. Google's photo software is fantastic at getting the best out of an image, be that in portrait mode, Night Sight low-light photography or just a simple snapshot. It will be powered by Snapdragon 765G, the most powerful of Qualcomm's mid-range SoCs.  

The new chip may also mean more RAM and storage capacity to go with it, since the phone will be more capable of intensive tasks. Google tends to use a small amount of RAM compared to other manufacturers, but perhaps an increase to 8GB, from the Pixel 4a's 6GB would be a worthwhile change. Likewise an option for 256GB storage instead of or as well as the 128GB you currently get.  The Pixel 4a contains a 3800 mAh battery, which you can charge at up to 18W via a wired USB-C connection. Depending on the timing of the Pixel 4a 5G's release, the new phone could ship with Android 11 pre-installed.
