Mountain View, California, USA
Google, Inc. has released of its new Pixel 4a Android phone, priced under $400, similar to Apple’s iPhone SE.
The Google Pixel 4 and Pixel 4 XL won 2020 Good Design Awards from The Chicago Athenaeum.
The Pixel 4a is about $350 compared to Apple’s iPhone SE, with a starting price at $399, but both phones are much cheaper than other $1,000-plus smartphones on the market.
Both are small phones with good cameras for the price, but the Pixel 4a is able to take portrait pictures that blur the background and keep the subject in focus better than the iPhone SE. The iPhone SE has a better processor, wireless charging and water resistance, the business channel noted.
“The Pixel 4a builds on the strength of the Pixel 3a,” states Google Vice President of Product Management Brian Rakowski.
“Last year, Pixel 3a gave people a chance to get the helpful features of Pixel at a more affordable price.”
“This year, Pixel 4a—which launches this month—and the first 5G-enabled PIxels, Pixel 4a (5G) and Pixel 5 coming this fall, will continue to bring the features people love—like an incredible camera and feature drops that make your phone better over time—packaged in sleek new hardware at more affordable prices.”
“Features include “HDR+ with dual exposure controls, Portrait Mode, Top Shot, Night Sight with astrophotography capabilities and fused video stabilization—they’re all there,” Rakowski adds.
The Google Assistant, which allows users to use their voice to text, call and get answers to various questions, is also built into the Pixel 4a.
