The Google Pixel 3a is expected to launch in May at the Google IO 2019 developer conference. The less powerful edition of the latest Pixel series – Google Pixel 3a leaks in a new high-resolution render adding more fuel to the rumor fire. The up-close look of the Pixel 3a is leaked by a reliable tipster, Evan Blass.

Unlike narrow bezels on smartphones nowadays, the Pixel 3a is carrying big bezels with rounded corners. The earpiece is clearly visible on the top along with a front camera. As expected, a single camera with dual LED flash and a fingerprint sensor embeds on its rear side. Inside, the phone is running vanilla Android with a clean and minimalistic look, depicting rounded icons and a Google search bar.

The Pixel 3a look resembles Pixel 3 look as revealed in multiple old leaks and rumors.

Being Google devices, the whole Pixel series is known for software optimization. Google introduced various software-based advancements in Pixel 3 to improve its overall performance.
