Quote:After multiple delays and a multitude of leaks, Google has finally taken the wraps off the Pixel 4a, the company’s affordable variant of its flagship Pixel 4 smartphone.
 
The Pixel 4a was expected to be launched at the company’s annual Google I/O event earlier this year but the pandemic necessitated the cancellation of the event. Unlike other technology brands, Google didn’t host a virtual event as well.
 
Google positions Pixel 4a as an affordable smartphone that packs in the camera prowess of its flagship smartphone as well as a clean and secure Android experience.
 
For the camera duties, you’ll get a single 12MP camera at the back but it features Pixel 4’s marquee astrophotography mode. For on-device security, there’s the Titan M security module and Google commits that the phone will receive OS and security updates for three years. The Adaptive Battery feature promises all-day battery life.
