Google's Pixel 4a may have been delayed yet again
Google's cheaper Pixel phone is coming a bit later than originally anticipated.
According to leaker Jon Prosser, the Pixel 4a will be launched on July 13. Originally, the launch was scheduled for May, postponed for June, and now it's been postponed again, Prosser claims. The phone is reportedly ready to launch, but Google delayed it due to the current market conditions.

Prosser shared a few details about the new phone. He claims it will only have a 4G chip (no 5G) and come in two colors: Just Black and Barely Blue. Earlier rumors claimed it would be powered by a Qualcomm Snapdragon 730 chipset and come with 6GB of RAM, a 3,080mAh battery and a single, 12.2-megapixel rear camera.

Google launches its flagship phones late in the year, and typically follows up with a cheaper model in about six months — last year it was the Pixel 3a and the Pixel 3a XL. But Prosser says there's currently no evidence of a larger, Pixel 4a XL model.
Google launched the Pixel 4 and Pixel 4 XL last October. The phones were praised for their cameras, but battery life and starting storage left something to be desired. But the main differentiator between these phones and the Pixel 4a will be the price; Pixel 4 starts at $799, and the Pixel 4a is likely to start at $399.
