Google Pixel 4a budget smartphone, which is a watered-down variant of the Pixel 4 launched last year, has been making rounds since past several months. In the latest development, a new set of renders of the upcoming Pixel 4a have leaked online, showcasing the smartphone’s design.
The first thing you’ll notice is the phone’s display, which is surprisingly different than what we saw on the Pixel 4. The company seems to be finally moving away from the thicker chins and foreheads design and we’ll finally get a Pixel phone will thin bezels.
It also reveals that the smartphone will come with a punch-hole cutout in the top-left corner of the display for the front-facing camera. This also confirms that the Project Soli radar sensors won’t be included in the device, given the lack of space.
Further, the render shows that the smartphone has a 3.5mm headphone hack which is located at the top while the USB Type-C port is located at the bottom. On the back side, the device features a fingerprint sensor for added security.
