Rumors and leaks about both the
Pixel 3 Lite and Pixel 3 Lite XL codenamed ‘sargo’ and ‘bonito’ surfaced few
months back. Last week with Android Q beta release it was revealed that the
phone will be launched Pixel 3a and Pixel 3a XL. Now detailed specifications of
the phones have surfaced.
This reveals a 5.6-inch FHD+ OLED screen and
Snapdragon 670 for the Pixel 3a, and a slightly bigger 6-inch screen and
Snapdragon 710 for the Pixel 3a XL, 4GB RAM, 32GB or 64GB storage, 12MP rear
camera and a 8MP wide-angle front camera for both.
These are expected to retain rear mounted
fingerprint scanner and Active Edge features, but it is not clear if these will
have IP68 ratings for water resistance, but these bring back the 3.5mm audio
jack that the Pixel 3 and the 3 XL lacks.
