Google shook up its smartphone range during 2020, and part of it released a new third series of Pixel phones between the ‘a’ range and the flagship offering. The Pixel 4a 5G was finally the best of Google’s three 2020 phones, and now a new color is available for anyone who buys the phone unlocked.
There are technically two versions of the Pixel 4a 5G, the $ 499 model with only low-band 5G support unlocked (by the Google Store, Amazon, Google Fi, etc.), and the $ 599 Pixel 4a 5G UW with mileage wave 5G that Verizon sells. The unlocked model was just always available in ‘Just Black’, but anyone who buys the UW version has an additional ‘Clearly White’ color option.
Google has confirmed to The Verge that the white color will be available soon for the unlocked 4a 5G, and shipping is expected to begin on January 28th. It has the same white casing and green on / off button as the Verizon model, but the same sub-6GHz 5G support found in other unlocked models.
Unfortunately, it seems that the new color is not available anywhere yet. B&H Photo had a product list, but it was pulled shortly after The Verge noticed it.
