There’s less than one week to go before the so-called Pixel 3a and Pixel 3a XL arrive, or so we’ve been led to believe. Google’s annual developer conference, Google I/O gets started on May 7, and is the perfect venue to reveal new hardware.
There has been no shortage of rumors or speculation around the “Lite” versions of Google’s Pixel 3 phones. Things got started for the low-cost alternatives all the way back in fall 2018; however, they’re finally coming to a head.
A number of photos and renders have made their way online in the last few days, pretty much spoiling the look of the Pixel 3a and its larger counterpart, the Pixel 3a XL.
One such source of rumors, 91mobiles, provided a few clear looks at the phones and, in the process, seemingly confirmed hardware details. These images dovetail with those shared by DroidLife.
Set to arrive in Clearly White, Just Black, and Purple-ish, the phones look every bit like a Pixel phone. For better or worse, this appears to be the design language that Google is content to use.
Here’s what figures to be the hardware specs for the forthcoming duo.
