Pixel 5, 4a 5G will not come to India, confirms Google

Search engine giant Google on Monday (August 3) launched the eagerly awaited mid-range Pixel 4a with a moderate upgrade over the predecessor. Though it is already available for pre-order in the US, the new phone will come to India only in October.

In a double whammy, Google also revealed that the premium Pixel 5 and the special Pixel 4a variant, both with 5G support, will not be launched in India.

“Regarding the two new 5G Pixel phones (Pixel 5 and Pixel 4a 5G) that were announced globally today, these will not be available in India or Singapore, based on a variety of factors including local market trends and product features. We remain deeply committed to our current Pixel phones and look forward to bringing future Pixel devices to these countries,” said Brian Rakowski, VP of Product Management.
