On the eve of Black Friday last year, I bought a black Pixel 4 XL. After using it for two months, my advice is not to buy it, although I really like this phone, and It seems to work well.
The price is naturally the most important factor. At the most expensive time, the price of the Amazon in the United States will need more than 7,000 yuan, and buying an official shell will easily reach about 8,000.

Obviously Google also realized that the price of the Pixel is too expensive, so it launched the mid-range model-the Pixel 3a for the first time last year, and it turned out that when the price dropped to a lower price, PixEl’s outstanding advantages in taking photos instead attract more users to buy.
It also mentioned at the beginning that the Pixel 4 series is still expensive and does not support 5G, so many people are waiting for the cheaper and updated Pixel 4a to appear. Last year’s Pixel 3a was officially released at Google I / O, and now it’s almost time for the new machine to leak.

According to 9to5Google ’s report , the XDA staff is in ” “Skia”, a Flutter 2 graphics library used by the Google development team, found code for many devices, such as the codenames of all currently known Google Pixel devices and some unknown codenames.
There are some familiar codes in the list above, such as “corsshatch” for Pixel 3 XL and “bonito” for Pixel 3a, while the code names for Pixel 4 and Pixel 4 XL are “flame” and “coral”. And now you see, here are four pieces of code belonging to devices that have not yet been released: sunfish, refin, bramble, and needlefish.
In addition, the processor code is followed by the processor code. For example, the SM8150 in the following SM8510P is the model of the Qualcomm Snapdragon 855. However, the two code names worth noting here are “redfin” and “bramble”. Among them, bramble has proven to be directly related to Pixel.

And in the code found today, the relevant parts of these two codes are redfin-sm7250 and bramble-sm7250, and SM7250 is actually familiar to us, which is Qualcomm’s dual-mode 5G chip 765G. The other mysterious code, sunfish, uses the SM7150, which is the Qualcomm 730 processor.
According to Google ’s habits, the Pixel 4a will be a mid-range product, so it is more likely that you will use the Qualcomm 730 processor, but this year will be a year of 5G popularity, plus the Pixel 4 series. The configuration is really squeezed toothpaste, norExcluding Google wanting to use 765G as Pixel’s 5G pioneer model, but generally has a greater price advantage than the new Pixel that will be released at the end of the year.
So which processor will Pixel 4a use? Is it Qualcomm 730 or Qualcomm 765G that supports 5G, or is it a new model of the Pixel series that supports 5G? This will have to wait until more information is leaked to know the answer.
