the Google pixel 4a is about to be officially launched and I'll be sharing
the details right after this if you're new here want to stay up to date with
the latest tech please hit subscribe followed by the Bell you can also keep
up on Facebook Instagram and Twitter and of course that the links are in
the description so this week we've got news that the Google pixel 4a official
launch is imminent but we've also got a shocking discovery on its price and
some of its features before we get into it though please like the video
if you're excited for the pixel 4a and if not then what phone are you waiting
for this year but first news of the day is that the pixel 4a is about to launch
some sources were claiming it may be delayed until August but it doesn't seem
to be the case anymore XD a developers have discovered a new FCC filing for the
Google pixel 4a the new filing was made under the model number G 0 to 5 which
considering the pixel 4 was the G020 means it must be the pixel 4a generally
companies do make these filings just before their phones go official so
while this isn't 100% confirmation it's a pretty good indication that the pixel
4a is going to be here very soon the FCC filing also confirms that the pixel
4a is not gonna have the solely radar chip the technology in the solar radar
uses millimeter wave radio frequencies which are required to be disclosed in
the FCC documentation in the pixel 4a we had it documented between 58
and sixty three and a half gigahertz but the pixel 4a makes no mention of
these frequencies this was always to be expected it given it's a much more
budget-friendly option and Google's data also shows that the people didn't use
the radar as much as they'd hoped next up we've got information about the pixel
4a pricing and it doesn't look good original rumors placed the phone at
$400 we then have rumors of a drop to 350 dollars to compete with Apple the
new news comes from a French retailer who had a page up the device was listed
at 4 460 pounds which is much higher than we were expecting and this will
probably make the USA price about four hundred and fifty dollars if it was to
be true now the webpage has since been taken down and it could well have just
been a placeholder and not an official cost and it was also for the 128 gig
model and not the 64 gig pixel 4a with the iPhone se already launched at four
hundred dollars and the oneplus C or the oneplus nor does it may be called a true
mint becoming it just three hundred dollars I don't think this would be
a suitable price point for the pixel 4a and it wouldn't be able to compete the
SE has the a13 Bionic so Google are not going to be able to compete with
this chipset but Google performed very well in their photography department so
this is gonna be where they're trying the most and whether we'll be able to
get the consumers as long as the price is right with this new news that we can
be pretty hopeful that the pixel 4a is going to be coming in July so it
shouldn't be much longer until we have all the details they've been holding
off the launch apparently because of the recent outbreak the market
conditions are just not where they want to launch a phone but if they wait too
long that then this phone is going to become less and less competitive we've
previously had the pixel 4a leaked in a full hands-on video and while
it was in low quality it does show off its design and specifications for my
regular viewers you guys have already seen this so go ahead and skip to the
next video but if you're new here then make sure you hit subscribe it and we're
gonna get right into it the Google pixel 4a live hands-on video was posted at by
techno like plus and it really does give a lot of detail if we start with
the design at the pixel 4a in the video is the black variant the phone covered
in polycarbonate and unlike its more premium counterpart the Google pixel 4a
has a bunch of selfie camera in the top left corner of the display it's a pretty
reasonable size when it comes to a punch hole selfie camera but we also get
relatively thin bezels around comparing it to the pixel 4a however I would say
the forehead is smaller but the rest of the bezels that may be slightly larger
on the pixel 4a the punch hole in the top left of the display houses an 8
megapixel selfie camera and this does have image stabilization included when
it comes to the display itself we get a five point eight one inch OLED display
with a resolution of 1080 by 2314 well we had many rumors of a 90 Hertz display
on the Google pixel 4a it's been confirmed to run it's 60 Hertz only
there's been no mention of the actual screen protection but it could well
be the same at Dragon tell glass we saw in its predecessor when it comes to the
rear of the phone we get the same square camera bump in the top-left corner but
unlike its premium counterpart the pixel 4a only has a single camera along with
an LED flash the camera is however a 12 megapixel sensor capable of 4k video
recording with the image stabilization another noticeable difference that you
will notice is that the pixel 4a has a physical fingerprint scanner on the
rear what many may have wanted an in display fingerprint scanner I'm just
happy that they brought it back my biggest complaint on the pixel 4 is
of course the lack of a fingerprint scanner and what the face unlock does
work very well I've always missed that fingerprint scanner the Google pixel 4a
we have here is the black model so we've got a completely black back with a white
power button on the side when it comes to the specs the Google pixel 4a has
been run through I 264 giving us all the information we need and the specs are as
follows is powered by the Snapdragon 730 system on chip or not a flagship
chipset it's still a very capable 8 nanometer system on chip and we're
seeing it in a lot of phones lately the pixel 4a comes with 6 gigabytes of RAM
which is actually 2 gig more than its predecessor in this model we have here
has 64 gig of internal storage it's still unknown if there's also going
to be a 128 gig version but Google encouraged users to use Google photos
in order to save space on the phone the hands-on video also confirms that the
pixel 4a comes with dual SIM support which makes a nice change the phone's
powered by a three thousand and eighty milliamp hour battery and it of course
comes shipped with Android 10 what many may think that three thousand and
eighty milliamp hours is too small it's actually an 80 milliamp hour increase on
the predecessor and that was pretty reasonable for its battery life the
reviewer of the hands-on video is stated that the phone is available for purchase
in Cuba for around $500 but the phone hasn't even been launched yet so it
does seem very unlikely this is more than likely just an early prototype or
even a phone sent out by Google to be leaked but as with all previous pixel
launches we can be pretty certain that the leak is correct and this is in fact
what the Google pixel 4a is going to look like the pixel 4a was set to be
announced in May 2020 at the Google i/o event but as with all major tech
events at the moment it's unfortunately been cancelled due to a recent outbreak
this could however mean that we get an earlier launch in Google normally send
review units out before launch anyway I have been given their previous releases
that so I'm hoping to be able to get my hands on one of these to review for you
guys as well when it comes to pricing the pixel 3 a started around $400 so
you can probably expect the Google pixel 4a to be around 4 to 450 dollars which
isn't a bad price at all earlier leaks also suggested that we could be seeing
a pixel 4a xl but leaks have been silent ever since Wacka Khan who
is a very talented concept artist has published this concept based on leaks
of the Google pixel 5 it shows off the pixel 5 in cinematic 3d renders and I
believe that this is pretty much what the device is gonna look like we've got
the triple camera set of leaked by John Prosser along with a very similar front
display but of course that the bezels have been trimmed down in the concept
videos he's used the same color schemes as the predecessor which i think is
probably going to be changed this time round but for those of you excited about
the Google pixel 5 but then it's great to be seeing this already we also had
previous news about the Google pixel 5 but not coming with a snapdragon 865 and
it appears that there may be truth in this it was initially reported by 9 to
5 Google and my pixel source confirms that it is actually correct so unlike
the previous pixels that we won't be getting a flagship chipset inside the
Google pixel 5 or the pixel 5 Excel now it's not all bad news and when
we think about it then it does actually make sense we've decided to go with the
snapdragon 765 G which is still a great system-on-chip the snapdragon 765 G is
a decent chipset that has integrated 5g and it will serve well in the pixel
5 this suggests that Google aren't going to be building a flagship to
compete with the likes of the s20 ultra and they're probably just trying to
keep fans happy with the pixel design performance and photography that we
used to the snapdragon 765 G is cheaper meaning the sale price of the smartphone
should be lower and if we think about the pixel users it's mainly people who
like the stock Android experience and of course video and photography it's
not aim towards gamers so saving money on a chipset should be a welcome move
when it comes to photography of course we expect the inclusion of the pixel
neural Courtship and this is there to improve photo and video performance
with smartphone prices skyrocketing this year it would be nice to see the pixel
actually keep these costs down they've always been priced a little bit lower
than their competition with the latest Samsung pushing $1,400 it would be
refreshing to see them either stay the same or have a very small increase when
it comes to leaks surrounding the Google pixel 5 though we have to be careful as
many of them are based on rumors instead of solid leaks I always give sources in
my videos but to be upfront with this one there are very little sources giving
him foam if we start with the leak that we do have a source for though it's the
camera arrangement on the rear we've had the cameras leaked from youtuber
John Prosser and I have to say it does look interesting the render is of the
Google pixel 5 excel in he advises that they are from CAD renders of the real
thing now it's a soft matte glass back with a glossy camera module containing
3 cameras we saw an upgrade to 2 cameras in the predecessor so Google are pushing
things further again with the 3 now it's important to note when it comes
to Google phones that supposedly always three prototypes created and then they
pick one of these prototypes for the consumer model and continue working
on that so that does mean that there's a possibility that although this leak
is 100% accurate it may not be the one that's going to make it to market and
what many people have said the design is growing on them I have to say I'm a huge
pixel fan myself but even after a month of looking at this one I still just
don't like it he advises that the front of the Google pixel 5 is also going to
be similar to the predecessor but it's gonna have a smaller forehead this is
great news as personally I thought the pixel 4 was a huge improvement on the
3 so to keep it the same with a smaller forehead will look better when it comes
to the display the predecessor had a 5.7 inch in a 6.3 display depending on which
version you picked it's hard to guess its sizes because each year we do get
a small increase but they can't go too big on the standard model because people
appreciate the smaller phone firstly I'm going to estimate that the Google pixel
5 is either gonna be a 5.7 or 5.8 inch display and we'll be getting an increase
on the XL to 6.5 it will of course have an OLED display and the Google pixel 5
is expected to increase its refresh rate to a 120 Hertz display the predecessor
focused on face unlock and it didn't have any fingerprint biometrics which
I believe was a mistake I think Google may have also noticed this considering
its return on the 4a so I would say that we can expect an in display fingerprint
scanner on the Google pixel 5 when it comes to the resolution the pixel has
always been sensible and they do seem to want to conserve battery
life so I think we'll get a full HD plus resolution on the pixel 5 and a
quad HD plus on the pixel 5 XL when it comes to cameras were of course
expecting a triple camera setup on the rear of the pixel 5 well we don't know
exactly what lens are going to be using reports are suggesting that one of them
will be a wide-angle lens given that some companies are also introducing
dual optical image stabilisation now I wouldn't be surprised if we saw this
in the pixel 5 they've always prided themselves on great photography and
generally do a good job at competing with the competition when it comes
to hardware there are loads of reports that the Google pixel 5 is going to be
powered by the Snapdragon 7-6 5 G when it comes to Raman storage at Google are
always pretty sensible so we can expect 64 and 128 storage but there are a few
rumors that we may see 256 Google always encourage the use of Google photos in
to be fair they do provide people with plenty of space to fill it now I think
they'll either stick with six gigabytes or bump it up to eight with so many
manufacturers putting in unnecessary amounts of RAM it's always great see
Google keep it sensible battery capacity is normally quite reserved as well but
the pixels are very well optimized for battery I would expect the standard
pixel 5 to be 3000 milliamp hours in the pixel 5 XL to come with a four thousand
milliamp hour battery it will of course ship with the stock Android 11 that we
all love in the Google pixel and it will be ip68 water-resistant when it comes to
price I can't see them having too much movement here they've never really used
overly expensive technology and normally they do price below the other mainstream
flagships I'm going to estimate that the Google pixel 5 is again
gonna start around $800 and the pixel 5 Excel to start from 900 so that's it
for today's video as soon as we get some solid leaks on either the Google pixel 5
or the pixel 5 Excel of course I'm gonna be sharing them with you guys straight
away as always though I'd like to know your thoughts in the comments who are
there is waiting for the Google pixel 4a and how much longer are you willing to
wait but thanks for watching the video if you liked it smash a thumbs up if
you didn't hit the thumbs down twice and I'll see you guys in the next one
