• Google Pixel 4a takes another step: it goes through the FCC

The Google Pixel 4a, the affordable version of the Google Pixel 4, has been in the news since the start of 2020, though its launch has been delayed multiple times. Now, reports suggest that the device may be even closer to launch since it only made it through the FCC. A tweet from XDA Developers' Mishaal Rahman suggests that the Pixel 4a has in fact just passed through the FCC, though the data provided by the US regulator doesn't seem to add any new information to the device that isn't already available. in the public domain

The Google Pixel 4a has just made its way to the FCC, but there's no sign of its release yet. https://t.co/UQMHk9Tz7r...at this point I'm okay with Google putting it up alongside the Pixel 5 as the "Pixel 5a" H/T@Cstark_27 Jun 25, 2020 In fact it's over Within a week (June 19 to be precise), the Pixel 4a received certification from the Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS), which is a similar regulatory body to the FCC in the United States. . The certification appeared on the BIS website on June 10, but it took nine more days for the media to catch on. The FCC documentation available online does not contain photographs of the equipment, as is sometimes the case. And obviously the documentation doesn't mention any official release dates, which means we can only speculate that the Pixel 4a is closer to a launch, and that this may happen in July itself. 'I had planned.

What we already know

Earlier this week, we announced that French retailer Ordimedia had listed the phone on its website with a release date of July 7. Of course, the latest FCC report may indicate that the device may be released before July 13, as previous rumors suggest. These reports also claimed that the device would not be available until October 2020. The listing also states that the device will be available in two colors; Just black and blue. It's surprising that there isn't an unusual adjective at the beginning of the shade of blue given Google's normal naming strategy, but that may change before launch. The leak also appears to provide details on the Pixel 4a's European price. It is listed at 509,56 euros including taxes. However, most of this information gives us a possible price range for the device outside of Europe. Of course, in India we're not even sure if the Pixel 4a will show up, as the Pixel 4 is yet to come. In terms of design, there's already been a bag of leaks and this is most likely what we'll ultimately see when the Pixel 4a finally launches. And, when it does, it's worth seeing if the device is named after the Pixel 4a or listed as the Pixel 5a alongside the Pixel 5, as some have speculated.
