Google unveils budget-friendly Pixel smartphone model, set to launch 5G models later this year
The Google Pixel 4 smartphone is displayed during a Google launch event in New York City, New York, US on October 15, 2019.
"Last year, Pixel 3a gave people a chance to get the helpful features of Pixel at a more affordable price," said Google product management vice president Brian Rakowski. The budget-minded Pixel 4a is coming out four months after Apple released a discount iPhone, the SE, priced at $399.The global smartphone market "plummeted" in the second quarter of this year, with Apple the only top vendor to grow, according to market tracker Canalys.
That was in stark contrast to the overall smartphone market, which registered a 16 percent decline in shipments from last year during the same three months, the steepest drop in the industry's history, according to research firm Internal Data Corp. Canalys said the embattled firm, which is facing US sanctions and falling overseas sales, shipped 55.8 million devices — for the first time topping Samsung, which shipped 53.7 million units.
