The Google Pixel 3a series could cost a pretty penny in Europe
The Google Pixel 3a and Pixel 3a XL are arguably two of the most highly-anticipated mid-rangers this year. And ahead of their release next quarter, the folks over at WinFuture have obtained some new all-important information.
The Google Pixel 3a series might start at €450 in Europe
As for the Google Pixel 3a XL, no pricing details have been provided. Historically, though, Google’s larger devices cost €100/$100 more, so pricing of €550 or $500 seems highly likely at this point. Aside from the bigger display, this pricing could be justified by a more powerful processor.
The Google Pixel 3a, as some of you may know, is set to arrive powered by Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 670. This, according to today’s report, will be paired with 64GB of internal storage, which itself should arrive coupled with 4GB of RAM.
Moving on the larger Pixel 3a XL, rumors suggest this smartphone could feature the slightly more powerful Snapdragon 710. Presumably, it’ll also feature 64GB of storage and 4GB of RAM, although the battery should be larger in order to accommodate the bigger display. It’s expected to retain the Pixel 3’s cameras and ship with Android 9 Pie too.
Google says ‘no’ to the ugly notch and ‘yes’ to the headphone jack
Externally, these two devices are set to be virtually identical. Both are expected to debut with tall 19.5:9 OLED displays paired with large bezels and no notch. The Google Pixel 3a, on the one hand, should feature a 5.6-inch panel while the Pixel 3a XL will include a 6-inch alternative.

Both Pixel 3a smartphones will apparently include Google’s dedicated Titan M security chip and support the Active Edge squeezable frame feature. 18W fast charging via the include USB Type-C port is said to be on the cards too. Lastly, and rather unexpectedly, the duo looks set to include a 3.5mm headphone jack.
Google Pixel 3a & 3a XL release date and availability
The Google Pixel 3a and Pixel 3a XL are on track to be announced sometime later this spring, with an announcement at Google I/O in May looking like the most probable scenario.
