Much like any other public event involving large groups of people spending time together in a closed environment of some sort, the Google I/O developer conference that was supposed to take place between May 12 and 14 is cancelled for the year.

Speaking of the rear design, we can’t say we’re very impressed with how the Pixel 4a looks. Unsurprisingly, this thing is bound to follow the plastic build direction of its forerunners instead of going with a “premium” metal-and-glass construction, but what’s notable about these leaked pics is that they appear to suggest Google could break with the two-tone tradition of the last few years.

The entire Pixel 4a back cover seems to be the exact same shade of black, and as much as we’d like to blame that on an optical illusion created by the smudges and fingerprints on this prototype device, we fear that’s probably going to be the case for commercial units as well.

Other unsurprising features revealed today include a conventional rear-mounted fingerprint scanner, a headphone jack at the top, and a power button in a different color than the handset’s back (white in this particular case). By the way, the curious rear logo and imprints shouldn’t raise any red flags concerning the veracity of this leak, simply suggesting we’re looking at a test unit of some sort that Google was trying to conceal from our sight, failing miserably.

What about the Pixel 4a XL?

That, our friends, is a million-dollar question, and alas, we’re afraid we can’t even give you a two-dollar answer right now. The best we can do is assume Google does have two Pixel 4a variants in the pipeline, even though the jumbo-sized model hasn’t made much of an appearance in the rumor mill yet.
