14 DAY TRIAL // Next week is going to be a great week, as Samsung is expected to take the wraps off the Galaxy Note20 and a series of other devices, and now Google’s joining the party with its own announcement.
A teaser that the company dropped online a few hours ago reveals that the search giant will unveil a new phone on August 3, and while it’s tried to be as mysterious as possible, pretty much everybody knows it’s the Google Pixel 4a we’re talking about here.
Google has tried to be pretty original with this teaser, so it created a lorem ipsum page with hidden words, but these eventually reveal that the device will be focused on things like video chatting, low-light photo capture, an advanced camera, and a long-lasting battery.
Sales to start by the end of the month
This is “The Google just what you’ve been waiting for phone,” the teaser reads, and a 3D model that’s included in the teaser shows an overlay of the device.
Just as expected, the unveiling of the Google Pixel 4a, which was originally expected to happen earlier this year, will happen online due to obvious reasons. It’s believed that this is also one of the reasons Google also pushed back the launch as much as possible, as the health crisis affected phone sales significantly.
Canalys data has showed that Samsung’s phone sales dropped by no less than 30 percent, and this allowed Huawei to become the world’s number one mobile device manufacturer. The virus struggle was obviously the main cause of this decline, and this substantially affected the sales of the Galaxy S20 as well.
Google will most likely begin shipping the Pixel 4a to customers in supported countries by the end of August, with all specifics, including pricing, to be shared at the August 3 event.
