Pixel 4 and 4 XL discontinued as Google pulls plug early

Google has discontinued the Pixel 4 and Pixel 4 XL, taking the unexpected step of calling time on its Android flagship phones less than 10 months after they were released. The surprise decision comes only days after Google officially announced the upcoming Pixel 5, its new flagship that will include 5G for the first time, though that won’t be released until later in the year.

It’ll be joined by the Pixel 4a 5G, a 5G-compatible version fo the Pixel 4a that was officially launched – after several months of delays, it’s believed – on Monday of this week. Currently available for pre-order, the Pixel 4a has a $349 price tag and much of the same camera technology as the Pixel 4. However it leaves out “premium” features like wireless charging and the Soli-powered Motion Sense.
