Pixel 3a and 3a XL


Google is to sell a range of lower-cost smartphones as part of an effort to jump-start sales of its Pixel brand.
In addition, the company has shown off its first voice-controlled smart screen for the home to feature a camera.
This allows it to offer more personalised features than a previous model, but also risks provoking a privacy backlash.
Other announcements at its annual developers conference included enhancements to its search tool.
The Pixel 3a and larger Pixel 3a XL will cost £399 and £469 respectively, making them roughly half the price of the seven-month-old Pixel 3 originals.
Until now, Google had charged one of the highest entry-point prices for an Android handset, with its basic model costing £70 more than Samsung's Galaxy S10e and £40 more than Huawei's P30, and no option to buy a "mid-range" alternative.
The new versions share many of the features of the more expensive Pixels, including OLED (organic light-emitting diode) displays for rich colours and the firm's much-lauded Night Sight facility, which uses machine-learning based artificial intelligence to enhance images taken in low-light conditions.







The Beauty and the Beast
Powered by 4 GB of RAM, the Pixel 3a runs all your applications seamlessly. It also features a 15.24 cm (6) display, so watching videos or even simply browsing the Internet is a treat for the eyes.
Portrait Mode
Get ready to take your Instagram page up a notch as you capture beautiful portrait shots that focus on the subject, while making the background fade into a blur.

Free, Unlimited Storage with Google Photos
Don’t worry about deleting some of your favorite pictures to make space for new ones. With the unlimited storage that Google Photos provides, you can now save all your photos and videos with free, unlimited storage at high quality. It also comes with 64 GB of storage capacity, satisfying all your storage needs.

Charges Fast, Lasts Long
Whether it’s for work or play, you don’t have to worry about frequently charging your phone as this smartphone comes with a 3700 mAh battery which charges quickly and lasts for up to 30 hours.
Google Assistant
You can be more productive by using the Google Assistant. You just have to give a simple squeeze or say, “Ok Google” to send texts, find answers, get commute times, and set reminders. It’s that simple!
