There May Not be a Pixel 4a XL This Year

Google'due south upcoming Pixel 4a lineup may consist of just a unmarried device this year if a new rumor is annihilation to go by. Co-ordinate to YouTuber, David Lee, the Pixel 4a may not accept an 'Xl' model this time round, largely because last year'south Pixel 3a 40 failed to get the greenbacks registers jingling for Google. The decision to scrap the Pixel 4a Xl was evidently taken later the standard Pixel 3a outsold the 3a Xl past a significant margin, in spite of their relatively small-scale $80 price difference in the US.

Do note that Lee doesn't mention the source of this info in his video, so it needs to be taken with a rather generous sprinkling of salt at this stage. If the rumor does turn out to exist right, though, the 4a will exist the beginning Pixel smartphone to ship in just a single size.

Expected to be launched later on this year, the Pixel 4a is said to feature a v.87-inch or 5.eight-inch brandish with a punch-pigsty housing for the selfie-cam.
