Much has been said and rumored about a possible launch of a trimmed version of the Pixel 3. And as they say, when the river sounds water it carries. Now we know the day chosen by Google to launch its new devices. The Google Pixel 3a and 3a XL will go on sale on May 8. That is, on Wednesday of next week we will know the new terminals of the search giant.
The information has turned up in a store called Flipkart. In this store they already sell the current models and have placed an ad in which you can see the launch date of the new mobiles. In other words, May 8 seems to be the date on which the terminals can already be purchased. So it is very possible that the official presentation will take place on May 7.
Google Pixel 3a and 3a XL, Google's bet to compete in the upper-middle range
The truth is that we already know many details about the upcoming Google terminals. For example, Evan Blass leaked the final design of the Google Pixel 3a in great detail. And it is clear that the design will not be the argument that the search giant will use to call users.
The leak shows a terminal with an "old" design, that is, with large frames on the front. It may not matter to users looking for symmetry, but we cannot help but have the feeling that we are looking at a mobile from a couple of years ago.
Regarding the technical section, it seems that Google will maintain the size and resolution of the screens. That is, the Google Pixel 3a will have a 5.5-inch OLED screen with FHD + resolution. And the Google Pixel 3a XL will have a 6.3-inch OLED screen with QHD + resolution. However, it is not ruled out that we see a screen with LED technology instead of OLED to cut costs.
As a processor, Google is expected to use a mid-range Snapdragon, possibly a Snapdragon 670 or a Snapdragon 710. As for RAM, they are not expected to be less than 4GB. As you know, the storage may vary depending on the model, but we should have a minimum of 64 GB.
With a hardware "of the lot" and a design that we could almost consider "retro" , surely many of you are wondering why Google is going to launch these devices. The answer is clear: by the camera. The photographic section of the Google Pixel 3 is still revered by many. In fact, many users and professionals still think that the Pixel 3's camera is the best on the market.
So it seems that the biggest selling point of the new Google Pixel 3a and 3a XL will be to offer the Pixel 3 camera at a lower price than current models. What price? According to rumors, the new terminals could be launched with a price between 400 and 500 dollars. We won't have to wait long to find out.
