Are you ready to meet the Pixel 4a? Because today Google appears to have started teasing its announcement.
The official Made by Google account on Twitter today updated its bio to link to this teaser page on the Google Store (via 9to5Google). Clicking on the colored boxes until you get the order of colors in the Google logo — blue, red, yellow, blue, green, red — will reveal the phrase "The Google Just What You've Been Waiting For Phone" and the date August 3.
There's a phone-shaped object on the page along with a block of lorem ipsum text in Latin. If you translate that text, though, there are some references to things like video chats, low-light photography, bokeh, megapixels, and long-lasting battery.
Just like many of the Pixels that came before it, the Pixel 4a has been heavily leaked in the weeks and months leading up to its release. We've already seen the phone several times, including in hands-on videos, and Google has even accidentally leaked an image of the device.
Rumors have said that the Pixel 4a was originally supposed to launch in May but has been delayed numerous times. Now it looks like it's finally ready to launch, with rumors saying it could start at a price as low as $349 for a Pixel 4a with 128GB of storage.
Other rumored specs for the Pixel 4a include a 5.81-inch 2340x1080 OLED screen, 12.2MP rear camera, a hole-punch selfie camera, Snapdragon 730 processor, 6GB of RAM, and a 3080mAh battery. It's expected that, like the Pixel 3a before it, the Pixel 4a will also have a 3.5mm headphone jack, something the Pixel 4 and 4 XL flagships lack.
