Google ’s site has leaked the name of its upcoming lite version of its Pixel phone , theVerge reportedon Friday , in what looks like the 2d sentence in two weeks something like this has happened .
Just like last month when Google ’s internet site ( ostensibly circumstantially ) dropped news of the upcoming Nest Hub Max without fanfare , screenshots of the website show it briefly exhibit a link to Pixel 3a page . allot to the Verge , the references to the Nest Hub Max also made a brief re - show before the pageboy was pay off :
While Google has already taken down the Sir Frederick Handley Page showing the “ novel ” phone , the damage ( if you may call additional hype for a thoroughly leaked product “ harm ” ) appear to be done . In fact,9to5Google reportsthat the website also exhibit references to thepreviously - leaked Nest Hub Max , as well as a Nest Hub , before it was taken down . ( In our case , thanks go to astute Verge reader Aadithya G. who orient us to the Google Store URL . )

ThePixel 3a linkup , as well as the link to a pageboy where customers couldcompare various editionsof the Pixel phone line , both led to numb pages . So about the only news program that came out of this was verification of the Pixel 3a ’s name — which is not particularly interestingnor on the button news , but does follow on afrankly cockeyed number of leaksthat construe virtually every aspect of the Pixel 3 line meet public photo well before official announcement dates .
More details on the 3a melody have emerge via other news leak , include one also on Friday . A few months ago , television of what appeared to be a pre - production“Pixel 3 Lite”emerged on YouTube , detail all of the unreleased phone ’s specifications . As9to5Google compose yesterday , the Play Developer Console also recently added twist profiles for “ bonito ” and “ sargo , ” which seem to be speech sound titled the Pixel 3a and Pixel 3a XL severally :
Both sport 3840 megabyte of RAM ( or 4 GB ) , while oceanic bonito is list as having a 1080 x 2160 display at 400 DPI . Sargo features a slightly larger 1080 x 2220 control panel with a screen density of 440 .

give that resolution and DPI , sargo is the 5.6 - inch Pixel 3a that we hadaccess to last month . Other eyeglasses we wereable to confirminclude an OLED projection screen with Snapdragon 670 , 4 GB of RAM , 12 - megapixel rearward camera , and 3,000 mAh battery .
Per Engadget , other rumors have suggested that the Pixel 3a XL may move from a Snapdragon 670 to Snapdragon 710 microchip .
The slew of news leak about the received Pixel 3 line were so much that some people begangenerating conspiracy theoriesthey were some form of red herring designed to distract from what thereal earpiece would look like . But perhaps Google plainly is n’t very good at , or does n’t really handle about , maintaining the traditional gumption of mystique about new hardware . Does anyone deal that much in an era where iterative rather than radical improvements for smartphones are now the average , anyhow ?
As the very slaked owner of a Pixel 3 XL ( based in no minor part on my Gizmodo colleagues’laudatory review , but also a $ 300 carrier bank discount that made it intemperate to justify shelling out for a Note 9 ) , these trashy versions of the Pixel assembly line do n’t really pique my interest . However , with rumors circulating that they may be announced as before long as Google ’s I / O conference in May , they may be deserving checking out for budget buyers . Alternately , the Verge seems to have apretty just dealgoing on decent now for refurbish Pixel 3 and Pixel 3 XL phone , if you ’re unforced to roll the die .
