“While not everyone can spend $1,400 on a phone, many of the users want to experience and we are coming up with something for them,” said Queiroz. Here are more details on the Google Pixel 4a leaks and rumors hinting about features such as thinner bezels and rear-mounted fingerprint sensor.
Google Pixel 4 vs Google Pixel 4a Difference
Google Pixel 4a is very similar to Pixel 4 in appearance in terms of design but there are still a lot of differences between the two smartphones. The Pixel 4a will have very thin and narrower bezels compared to the latest flagship and will most probably miss out on the support for gesture control using Project Soli-based Motion Sense tech featured in Pixel 4 devices.

Also, the camera layout of Google Pixel 4a is similar to the Pixel 4 camera, but it might just have one camera and flash as opposed to dual rear cameras in the flagship.
