The Pixel 4A looks like it could introduce the Google Pixel range of camera phones to 5G mobile data speeds, according to recent detective work by the folks at XDA Developers. After dissecting a Pixel 4 firmware dump, they were able to discern two chipsets that would be used in the 4A-series – sensational sleuthing. The first, a Qualcomm Snapdragon 765, which will feature Qualcomm’s 5G modem, and the second a Snapdragon 730, which won’t.
This comes after leaked renders of the devices from OnLeaks and 91 Mobiles that showcase the design of the new Pixels, complete with Honor 20-style punch hole notches and a square camera surround at the back. While the Pixel 3A introduced the concept of bringing Pixel quality cameras to the masses, the Pixel 4A doesn’t look set to mirror the camera of the Pixel 4 like-for-like. Instead of the Pixel 4’s dual-camera, based on these leaks, it looks like the 4A has only got the flagship’s primary camera, ditching the telephoto lens.
