The Pixel 5 takes a different approach compared to previous generation Pixel smartphones with its mid-range processor. On the other hand, the Pixel 4a 5G is, as the name suggests, a 5G variant of the Pixel 4a that was launched early in August, but it comes with a few changes over the 4G variant. So, let's put the Pixel 5, Pixel 4a 5G, and the Pixel 4a head to head and see what all is different.

The Google Pixel 4a launched in the US for $349 (roughly Rs. 25,700) and comes in a single Just Black colour option, as well as a single 6GB + 128GB configuration. The phone will be launched in India on October 17 as recently announced by the company.
