The New Google Pixel Has Completely Leaked...

Oh man, this is probably the most leaked smartphone right now

It doesn't really change very much because for whatever reason, the Pixel devices tend to just be completely leaked out prior to their launch

Of course, I'm speaking about the Pixel 4a, the latest or what will be the newest Pixel device

It'll come out before the Pixel 5. It'll come out this summer, actually, and that's what this video is about

we now have basically every single specification, including some new pricing on the Pixel 4a

And since, I mean, one of the benefits of having a case company, later case

is that we can prepare in advance for these upcoming devices. And inside of this bag is the new case for the Pixel 4a alongside an actual physical mock-up of that device

So I'm going to be able here to compare it to the previous Pixels

I've got the Pixel 4 and the 4XL in front of me here to compare it against, contrast it with, and of course, talk about that new price tag

Because I think that's what you're going to be most excited about. This device is probably going to cost $350

A Pixel device coming in below $400. I think they originally wanted to go with $399, and then the iPhone SE filled that space

And then, of course, the global problems that have happened economically, it appears that they want to do $349 now based on a leaked survey

Is it even leaked if they were doing it publicly? They were running a survey

Google kind of leaking their own phones, asking if people would be more interested

in a budget pixel device that's made out of plastic at $349

or a premium flagship Pixel device, flagship-ish device at $699. Let's jump into this little bag here

So this just got to me. This is the latest revision of the later case for the Pixel 4a

and it's wrapped around a chassis on the inside. And that basically shows you right there exactly how this 4a is going to stack up

From a form factor perspective, the tiny little camera cutout, Of course, going back to the rear fingerprint scanner

on the 4A can say I bothered too much by it I was using the face unlock obviously on the 4XL when I was using that device But I used fingerprint unlock on the rear a lot

And I've even said in some cases I prefer it to the in-display. Some people make the case that, well, you can have the device flat on the table

and unlock it with the in-display. But this one, that's just sort of where your hand lands naturally when you pick up a device

and I just tend to think these ones are a little quicker, a little more accurate. So I don't really mind that

As far as the remaining specs for this device, the display on the front is going to be 5.81 inches measured diagonally

and you're going to actually get what is a better screen-to-body ratio

than you have on either of the more expensive, I guess as far as Google's concerned, their flagship-level devices

the Pixel 4 and 4XL. And the reason for that is because you're going to have a hole-punch cutout

on the Pixel 4a instead of the larger forehead that packed in some of those extra sensors for

face unlock as well as the Sully chip for the hand interaction that nobody ever used and

people probably don't care about. As far as the other specs inside of this device

it's going to have a single camera set up on the back, 12 megapixels. If you've been following the

Pixel story, then you know a lot of the camera prowess on the Pixel products has to do with

software and Google appears to enjoy the challenge of taking a single camera unit and trying to

get the most or best out of it. The current rumor, which is pretty solid at this point

is that it's going to be a 12 megapixel camera utilizing all of the fancy computational stuff

that previous Pixels have used, giving comparable performance to these what were originally more

expensive devices in the form of the Pixel 4 and 4XL. It's going to have 4 gigs of RAM and a 3080

milliamp hour battery. Some people may have hoped for a slightly larger battery, but that

seems to be the case with these budget phones, at least from the bigger brands

The major drawback on the iPhone SE appears to be battery life. I don't expect this to be a

tremendous performer on battery life, but that's just, I mean, it's a cost to performance thing

$349 for a Pixel camera and the vanilla Android experience. That's the appeal here

It also not going to have wireless charging It will charge over USB Type It will have fast charging but nothing wireless The chip inside is going to be a Snapdragon 730

And that's kind of expected at this price point, 700 series Snapdragon. It is a fairly decent chip when it comes to battery consumption

Now let's talk a little bit more about form factor here. This is the first time I've actually seen them all beside each other

The size of it is very similar to the pre-existing Pixel 4

It's a little bit shorter by the looks of it and slightly fatter as well

I mean, if you've held on to a Pixel 4, you can expect more of the same. The aspect ratio on the display is going to be 19.5 by 9

Yeah, I mean, it's a comfortable, single-handed functionality, single-handed typing. A lot of the same stuff that got talked about with the iPhone SE, who that device was for

I think this is kind of like an Android equivalent of that device

On the flip side, it's taking a different approach. So on Apple's front, they kept an old form factor

The display is not great. The battery was small. But then they put a lot of horsepower in it with their top tier chip

This is not going to have a top tier chip, but it's going to put an emphasis on screen to body ratio

giving you a 5.8 inch screen with a more modern hole punch design

Of course, we also know the main focus with Google is around that camera

So the expectation there is you're going to have flagship level camera performance

Not the fastest chip on the planet, not a boatload of RAM like you're seeing elsewhere

but instead focus on camera and display because you're going to have to trim in some places

in order to meet that 349 criteria. Now, what about release date

There is nothing official yet, but it will be out this summer

And Google has had to push back the release on this. It's part of the reason that we have these specifications

And part of the reason, I think, as well, that so much has leaked out. Because the timing was originally supposed to be a lot earlier

Now, I don't know why they pushed it back. Presumably, some of it has to do with the world crisis that's going on

And the fact that you can't have events. They were originally going to talk about it at Google I.O., which that didn't happen

This summer, very soon, very shortly, this thing's going to come out. The Pixel device is a very popular device here in the office

I think at some point every single person that worked here has had their main SIM card And a Pixel Willie Do was always a fan of the little Pixel Myself I use the big Pixel a little bit more dating back

Every version, really. I think there's something about the idea of experiencing Android the way that Google intended

with the latest software and features right away. And now we get to see Google kind of shift its focus a little bit

and possibly exit the flagship game completely. There's rumors right now that the Pixel 5 might come in at $699

so it won't be at that $1,000 price point. And instead, aim their focus, put their focus on value for money

which obviously I've experienced this on this channel. When it comes to a global audience, that's becoming increasingly important

And certainly, given the current economic state of things, $349 is going to be really attractive for people

Believe it or not, the case is ready before the phone and you can pre-order the case right now

If you're going to be in the market for a pixel 4a you can get your order in the case before the phone

But that's kind of been the story with pixel devices to recap This will have a better screen to body ratio than the flagship devices. It'll retail for

$349 maybe $399, but that's seeming far more unlikely single camera they give up a little bit on the processing power and the RAM

that's in there there's not gonna be wireless charging the construction is going to be plastic possibly three colors definitely black and white

available and moving the fingerprint scanner back to the rear of the device

now you let me know down in the comments is this going to be your next device

are you interested did Google nail it with the price point at 349 with 349 to

spend on a smartphone this summer is it going to be the pixel 4a or something else if it is

something else let me know what that something else is down in the comments but i think when

this thing shows up i'll probably put my sim card in it for a little bit and see what that 349 life

is like
