Google unveiled cheaper Pixel smartphones on May 7 after the company’s line of premium handsets failed to sell in large numbers.
Slower processors and cheaper materials helped Google price the Pixel 3a with a 5.6in screen at US$399 (RM1,655). The larger Pixel 3a XL has a 6in screen and costs US$479 (RM1,986). That’s roughly half the price of the company’s existing Pixel phones, before recent discounts.
