Does the Pixel 3a spell trouble for future Google flagship phones?

One of the key issues for the launch of the Google Pixel 3a launch is what it means for the search giant's telephony strategy, and one solid clue suggests you'll remain in the dark for at least a year. . Speaking to Android Police, Google is "committed" to releasing cheaper, less powerful versions of its Pixel range in the "foreseeable future." While this doesn't confirm future models, it seems likely that it means the Google Pixel 4a. There will be a day. Because it is important? Certainly the 'tracking phone brand' is not a big problem? Well, that's when you put it in the context of the below-expectation sales of Google's flagship phones: the Pixel 3 and Pixel 3XL models didn't capture what the parent Alphabet would have hoped for. When you have a brand that is struggling to sell its expensive model (in this case, the Pixel 3 and Pixel 3XL), the pivot to suddenly hit a lower price with similar features is dangerous. Rather than a gateway to the "best" phone, it gives consumers a sense of being treated smartly, and it's still a powerful motivator, meaning "it's a good thing." They are certainly more likely to choose the cheaper model in years to come. . This is especially true when you consider that the Pixel 3a has a headphone jack—even years after Apple launched the crusade to lose it, consumers still want to grab the slot.

The top-end Lumia 920 was an excellent phone, but the user experience and app ecosystem can be found in the Lumia 520, a phone for a fraction of the price with a similar feel under the finger. Ironically, the big difference was the camera: the 520 had an extremely weak camera compared to its bigger siblings, where the Pixel 3 and Pixel 3a were equipped with high-quality sensors. Google is confident that it has become the provider of some of the best camera technology in a smartphone (the index for this desire is in the name of Pixel) as a reason why consumers will choose its Headphones over the Samsung Galaxy. S10, iPhone XS or Huawei P30.

Is a taste all we need?

The notion of the Pixel 3a seems to be that it gets a taste of the Pixel 3's exploits, but not all the pork. You get a very good camera, but this one doesn't have all the main features of the flagship device. You get a phone that looks like the most expensive device, but doesn't offer the same comfortable feel in the hand. But presenting this at a time when consumers are more price sensitive than ever and holding onto their phone longer is dangerous... and that the difference between the Pixel 3 and Pixel 3a just isn't big enough. "The 3a gives the impression of a slight decrease in UI usability and speed, but not in a very visible way," says Tom Bedford, our editor-in-charge for Mobile Phone, reviewing the Pixel 3a. "The main difference between the sensor and the front camera is that there is no second ultra-wide sensor. The capture speed is slower on the Pixel 3a (because there is no Visual Core pixel), but it is not something that bother the average citizen, so the Pixel 3a is a real alternative to the 3 for any type of user."In some ways it adds to the more expensive alternative, and people might question the expectation of 4a when the Pixel 4 emerges" So, by confirming that the future will always consist of Pixel phones, he suggests that Google embrace the volume that comes after, don't forget, it wants to put Android 'native' in the hands of as many consumers as possible, it falls into the mid-size smartphone segment.Either that, or future Pixel flagship phones could be more advanced or offer more premium features to warrant upgrading compared to their cheaper counterparts.
