Google’s upcoming Pixel 4a lineup may consist of just a single device this year if a new rumor is anything to go by. According to YouTuber, David Lee, the Pixel 4a may not have an ‘XL’ model this time round, largely because last year’s Pixel 3a XL failed to get the cash registers jingling for Google. The decision to scrap the Pixel 4a XL was apparently taken after the standard Pixel 3a outsold the 3a XL by a significant margin, in spite of their relatively minor $80 price difference in the US.
Expected to be launched later this year, the Pixel 4a is said to feature a 5.87-inch or 5.8-inch display with a punch-hole housing for the selfie-cam. Renders posted last week by tipster extraordinaire, @OnLeaks, shows only a single image sensor housed within a square layout at the back, although, Google reportedly plans to add more sensors to the module in the coming days. The device is also expected to feature a 3.5mm audio socket and a physical fingerprint scanner on the back, which is just as well, given the controversies surrounding the Pixel 4’s face unlock feature.
