| Pixel 3a and Pixel 3a XL |
After several leaks and rumours in the weeks
leading up to their launch, several details of Google's upcoming Pixel 3a and
Pixel 3a XL smartphones have been reported. Now, news website Android Headlines
claims to have obtained the first official 3D renders of these two devices,
showing exactly how they will look for the first time. It is widely expected
that Google will announce the Pixel 3a and Pixel 3a XL, which are said to be
more affordable versions of the Google Pixel 3 and Pixel 3 XL, on the opening day
of the company's annual Google I/O conference, which is scheduled to be held on
May 7 in Mountain View, California.
The alleged
renders of the new Google Pixel 3a and Pixel 3a XL show two very
similar-looking devices with no screen notch. This is in contrast to
the Pixel 3 and Pixel 3 XL, which are differentiated by the fact that the
larger model does have a notch while the smaller one does not. Instead, both
devices have relatively thick traditional borders above their screens where
their earpieces and single front cameras are.
The images spotted by Android Headlines also show a slight
depression on the top of each phone, appearing to confirm earlier leaks
and reports that they will have 3.5mm headphones sockets on the top.
Both phones also appear to have front-facing speakers in their relatively large
chins below their displays.
Previous
leaks have indicated that the Pixel 3a will have a 5.6-inch 1080x2220
screen, while the larger Pixel 3a XL will have a 6-inch 1080x2160
resolution screen. Some fans might be disappointed that Google's more
affordable new Pixel smartphones are also not smaller than the existing Pixel
3 and Pixel 3 XL (Review).
The two phones are expected to have slightly different specifications,
with the Pixel 3a purportedly featuring a Qualcomm Snapdragon 670 SoC while the
Pixel 3a XL gets a Snapdragon 710. However, both are expected to feature 4GB of
RAM and have 64GB of storage for their base variants.
Given the difference in the two phones' sizes, their
batteries are also likely to differ, though at 2915mAh and 3000mAh indicated
for the two models respectively, this difference should be minor. Both phones
could also feature the same 12.2-megapixel cameras found on the
premium Pixel 3 range, given that photography is one of Google's main
selling points for its smartphones.
The renders show May 7 as the date on screen, lending credibility
to the theory of a launch announcement at Google I/O. Unfortunately,
there's no word yet on pricing or global availability.
