Next-gen Smartphones Could Be The Pixel 3a and Pixel 3a XL

The next-gen Google Pixel smartphones could be called the Pixel 3a and Pixel 3a XL, instead of as Pixel 3 Lite and Pixel 3 Lite XL. Here, it is worth noting that rumour mills have been rife from long about next-gen Pixel smartphones coming to the fore. With these new reports, it seems that the new smartphones have already surfaced.

As per newer leaks (translated), the speculated Google Pixel 3a and Pixel 3a XL could be launched in the near future as well. These leaks also indicate that these handsets would be apparent pure mid-rangers possessing the Google trademark and experience. Also, the internal storage offered by these smartphones could be 64GB

However, it is not known as to when these would reach Indian shores, but the handsets could begin their journey from the European Union. The leaks also state that the devices would be premium-priced ones. As of now, Google is yet to officially announce next-gen Pixel smartphones. Hence these rumours should, for now, be taken with a pinch of salt.

Nonetheless, the screen size of these purported smartphones could start from at least 5.6-inches, and naturally, there should be the Android 9.0 (Android) operating system driving the handsets. USP, like the current-gen Pixel smartphones, could be the Google experience (the UI and overall feel).

In related updates, the Google Android 9.0 (Pie) is all set to seed to a host of Xiaomi smartphones this year. These handsets are:

• Xiaomi Mi 6 - During the second quarter of 2019
• Xiaomi Mi Mix 2 - During the second quarter of 2019
• Xiaomi Redmi 6 - During the second quarter of 2019
• Xiaomi Redmi 6A - During the second quarter of 2019
• Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 - During the first quarter of 2019
• Xiaomi Mi Note 3 - During the second quarter of 2019
• Xiaomi Mi 9 Explorer  - At some unknown point of time in 2019
• Xiaomi Mi 6X - At some unknown point in time in 2019
• Xiaomi Redmi S2/Y2 - By the time the first quarter of 2019 ends
• Xiaomi Redmi Note 6 Pro - At some unknown point n time in 2019.
