Pixel 4a is the only phone Google is selling in the U.S. right now
Google’s Pixel 4a is the only phone available in the U.S. Google Store right now.
This is due to the fact that the Pixel 3a, the Pixel 4 and the Pixel 4 XL are all listed as “out of stock.”
In fact, since the Pixel 4a isn’t launching for two more weeks and is only available for pre-order, one could even argue that Google isn’t currently selling any phones in its online store, which is…well, odd.
Typically, the flagship stays in store at least several months after the launch of a successor, and now it’s only been two days. We’ve asked Google about it and will update the post when we hear back.
9to5Google also noticed that the company’s “Phones” page doesn’t lIst any of the Pixel models besides the Pixel 4a. Third party devices, such as the Moto G Stylus and the Moto G Power, are listed.
It’s still possible to find the Pixel 4 and the Pixel 4 XL at other retailers, such as Best Buy.
As for Google’s Pixel 3a, that one was discontinued in July.
Launched earlier this week, Google’s Pixel 4a is a $349 smartphone that is, in some ways, an upgrade over the Pixel 4. It’s got a a better advertised battery life and a slightly bigger, 5.8-inch screen. On the other hand, the Pixel 4a has a Qualcomm Snapdragon 730G processor (the Pixel 4 has a Snapdragon 855), and just a single rear camera (the Pixel 4 has two).
