A new budget smartphone
Around this time of year, Google typically makes way with its Pixel A-series. Though Google I/O isn’t primarily a hardware event, the company often takes the opportunity to offer a glimpse at what’s coming through the pipeline, just as it has in years past. After all, the hardware is a showcase for the software.
Software is also what makes the Pixel A-series worth its economical price tag. For under $500, you can get the same Pixel camera smarts and built-in Google Assistant capabilities as Google’s more expensive phones. The rumor mill has been swirling about this model arriving around developer conference time. And since we saw the debut of the Pixel 3A at Google I/O 2019, we’ll likely see a reveal here, too.
