Google’s strategy to launch smartphones this year will be very confusing

Google stopped making Pixel 3a earlier this year, to make way for the launch of Pixel 4a. This is a mid-range smartphone, mentioned a long time ago. Many believe that in the upcoming event, Google will launch Pixel 4a and Pixel 5 duo, Pixel 5XL.

Two product code names that have been leaked for months are “Bramble” and “Redfin”, which are thought to be the Pixel 5 and Pixel 5XL duo. The leaked information earlier this year also confirmed that Google will only use the Snapdragon 765G processor, instead of the high-end Snapdragon 865 on its flagship smartphones.

But surprisingly, 9to5Google recently discovered the fact that Google’s smartphone launch strategy this year will not be as we predicted. In the code found, 9to5Google discovered the product name “Bramble” is of Pixel 4a 5G, and “Redfin” is of Pixel 5.

Accordingly, Google will launch three smartphones, Pixel 4a, Pixel 4a 5G and Pixel 5. In particular, Pixel 4a will be equipped with a Snapdragon 600 series processor. The Pixel 4a 5G and Pixel 5 will be powered by the Snapdragon 765G chip.

In the list of devices without the appearance of the smartphone Pixel 5 XL.

In the list of devices without the appearance of the smartphone Pixel 5 XL. That puts a big question in Google’s strategy of launching smartphones this year. It’s not clear what the search giant’s intention is, but it seems that Google is trying to abandon the high-end flagship smartphone segment.
