For the first time, Google will launch cheaper models of its Pixel lineup. The two devices which are codenamed “Sargo” and “Bonito” were originally thought to be marketed as the Pixel 3 Lite and Pixel 3 Lite XL. However, it was revealed about a week ago that their marketing names are Pixel 3a and Pixel 3a XL respectively. More details have now surfaced about the phones.
German tech blog Winfuture.de, reports that information received from European online retailers confirm that both phones are indeed named Pixel 3a and Pixel 3a XL. The retailers also confirmed both phones will have 64GB of built-in storage. There is no storage expansion and there is no news of other storage configurations.
It has also been revealed that in addition to the black and white color variants, there will be a third one called “Iris”. This color is said to be in the range of blue-violet to violet. Other info revealed by the dealers is the price, although they were not specific about it. It is said the Pixel 3a will sell for about €450 while the larger Pixel 3a XL will have a more expensive price tag.

Previous reports say both phones will have 18:9 displays, Active Edge which allows you to squeeze the phone to activate Google Assistant, eSIM support, and a Titan M security chip. Both phones will also have a single camera on each side. The differences are narrowed down to a larger display and larger battery capacity on the Pixel 3a XL but there is no confirmation if it will use the Snapdragon 670 like the smaller Pixel 3a.
