After making us wait for over two months, Google has finally launched its mid-range Pixel 4a and Google Home successor, Nest Audio, in India today. The latter made its debut alongside the Pixel 5 and Pixel 4a 5G earlier last month. The Pixel 4a has been priced quite attractively compared to its predecessor, so let’s check out the details.
Google Pixel 4a India price has been set at Rs. 29,999 for the single 6GB+128GB variant. This is quite a surprise as the Pixel 4a is priced way lower than the Rs. 39,999 starting price of its predecessor from last year.
Pixel 4a features a polycarbonate build with a single camera and a fingerprint scanner on the rear. You get a 5.81-inch Full-HD+ OLED display with a 19.5:9 aspect ratio, 2340 x 1080 pixels resolution, and 60Hz refresh rate on the front. This is also the first Pixel phone with a punch-hole cutout, housing an 8MP selfie snapper, at the top left.
The device is powered by the Snapdragon 730G SoC, coupled with 6GB RAM and 128GB built-in storage. Google Pixel 4a runs stock Android 10 out-of-the-box but is upgradable to Android 11 right away. The square module on the rear sports a single 12.2MP (f/1.7) sensor with OIS + EIS support and an LED flash. You also have a measly 3,140 mAh battery with 18W fast-charging support via the USB Type-C port.
Nest Audio is a successor to the original Google Home smart speaker that launched back in 2016. It is now fully wrapped in fabric and comes in a lot of attractive color variants. You will, however, only see the Charcoal and Chalk colors in India, which is really disappointing.
