Google Pixel 4a is the upcoming mid-range smartphone from the search engine giant. It is also the watered-down variant of the Pixel 4 flagship smartphone launched last year. The phone was set to launch a couple of months ago, but it still has not been made official.
The launch of the Google Pixel 4a has been delayed a few times, mainly because of the market conditions due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Now, ahead of the phone’s launch, it has appeared on FCC.
The FCC filing for A4RG025J published today although the application was filed on 2nd April. It lists three models — G025J, G025M, and G025N — first being US-based model and the other two likely featuring cellular radios for other parts of the world.
Google will again utilize an e-label for a clean rear panel and thus, the back panel will only feature the “G” logo. The layout is identical to the current labels on existing Pixel phones. Apart from this, the FCC listing reveals nothing about the phone.

Previous reports have revealed that the Google Pixel 4a will feature a 5.81-inch OLED panel with a punch-hole design and Full HD+ screen resolution. The phone is expected to arrive with Snapdragon 730 SoC, 6GB of RAM, and 64/128 GB internal storage.
The Android 10 operating system will come pre-installed on the smartphone and it will be powered by a 3,080mAh battery that is expected to support 18W fast charging. The phone may arrive in the U.S with a starting price of $349.
At such a price point, the company seems to be trying to compete against the Apple iPhone SE 2020, which costs $399. The Google Pixel 4a is expected to get announced on 13th July but reports indicate that it could go on sale from October this year.
