Google Pixel 4A delayed yet again?


Google Pixel 4a

Googleā€™s Pixel 4A has leaked more than what the company would have liked, despite being under the covers till today. But 2020 has brought many unexpected launch delays. Add to this, the latest report point that it could be delayed even further to late October.

Tipster Jon Prosser tweeted the same on twitter with a few more details. It seems Google has delayed the launch of Pixel 4A yet again, this time to a big three months further. He said that the device will still be announced on the previously rumoured July 13th.

More delays

Interestingly Google seems to have killed the ā€˜Barely Blueā€™ variant of the Pixel 4A entirely according to the tipster. Jon further said that his source pointed to a Black model debuting on October 22 which could mean the device will debut on the same date.

Previously Jon had said that the Black variant would debut on August 6th and Barely Blue to arrive on October 1st. With the new tip, we can assume Google might be planning to launch just the White and Black variants of the Pixel 4A.

Pixel 4A to accompany the flagship Pixel 5?

Additionally, Jon also mentioned the delay of Pixel 5 to a later date.Ā 

Google generally launches its successors to Pixel devices during the first month of October every year.Ā 

The delay could mean the devices getting pushed to a bit further meaning it could also release alongside the Pixel 4A but nothing is confirmed yet.Ā 

While the reason for the delay is unknown still, the current situation of the virus and market conditions could justify Googleā€™s conscious decision.
