• Google would have ignored the XL version of the Pixel 4a

This is a blow to fans of big, reasonably-priced phones: Google is rumored to skip the larger version of its mid-range phone in 2020 and launch the Pixel 4a without an XL model. This unconfirmed news comes from YouTuber Dave Lee, who doesn't have much experience with phone leaks, but is a well-respected tech vlogger with millions of subscribers to his name. The idea is that the Pixel 3a XL may have gotten too many sales from the Pixel 3 XL in the eyes of Google, and it doesn't want the same to be true of the Pixel 4 XL, which launched in October alongside the Pixel 4. The reasoning, will mean that those who want the extra screen space will have to dig deeper into their pockets and buy the premium Pixel in 2020, rather than the mid-range offering.

Pixel perfect

Most of the Pixel 4a leaks we've seen so far, including unofficial renders, have focused on a smaller phone, giving additional credence to the rumor that we won't be seeing any. The larger version of the Pixel 4a should have a 5.7-inch or 5.8-inch screen and a lesser-quality processor, but other than that, we're not sure what to expect. It was in May 2019, actually Google IO 2019, that the Pixel 3a and Pixel 3a XL appeared, so the same kind of timing in 2020 would make sense. We could learn more about Android 11 at the same time. Later, if Google sticks to the calendar for the past few years, we should hear a Pixel 5 sometime in October. Via Android Police
