Google Pixel 4a release date, price, and color options were found on the search page of a French enterprise technology supplier.

The Pixel 4a listing, discovered by Reddit user Bronzey91, lists the "Just Black" and "Barely Blue" models at €509.56 (converted to $575/£460) and a July 7 release date. If true, this would mean that the Pixel 4a is considerably more expensive than the rumored price of $349, and clearly more expensive than the iPhone SE's $399/419 pounds.

This unexpectedly high price for the Pixel 4a could be due to the fact that the two devices are listed with 128GB of storage capacity, twice the 64GB that the Pixel 4a is initially expected to have, and that the price includes VAT, as well as regional tax differences for electrical products.

However, removing the 20% VAT, which is the standard price in France, the price would be 408 euros, or $448, or £360 in the UK. Interestingly, this would make the Pixel 4a more expensive than the $399 launch price of the Pixel 3a in the US, but cheaper than the £399 launch price in the UK. However, this price jumps to £432 when one takes into account the 20% VAT in the UK.

Nevertheless, this listed price is based on previous leaks and may be used as a placeholder rather than the actual price of the Pixel 4a. It is also possible that Google will release a less expensive 64 GB version.

As noted above, Ordimedia lists the "just black" and blue versions, but not the white version. This is unusual because Google has historically always offered Pixel phones in black, white, and one more colorful option. This time around, the blue is "Barely Blue," and while it is a fairly muted color, it is expected to satisfy those seeking a bolder looking phone.

Where this source's credibility begins to crumble is in the July 7 ship date; the Pixel 4a's release date has already been pushed back several times. We had hoped for a May, June, and then a July debut. However, a new leak recently claimed that the Pixel 4a may not be released until October.

Any further delay would be bad news for Google. Understandable given the disruption to supply chains around the world, but it has been over a year since the Pixel 3a's debut, and Google could replace it to keep up with competitors.

While this leak is fairly comprehensive, there are several other regularly leaked details that are not mentioned here. Display details are a notable omission - there is no mention of the expected 5.7-inch OLED panel with a punch-hole selfie camera. There are also no details about the Snapdragon 730, the mid-range chipset the Pixel 4a is expected to feature.

There is no information on the amount of RAM, but 8GB is expected, a big jump from the Pixel 3a's 4GB, which should be good news for the phone's performance.

And there is no mention of a camera. Leaked information suggests that the Pixel 4a will likely have a single rear camera, but with Google's superior photo post-processing technology, the new budget Pixel should do very well against rivals like the iPhone SE.

More will become clear once it launches as to how much the Pixel 4a will cost and what the Pixel 4a can bring to the affordable phone arena. However, it is unclear when that launch will be. We still optimistically expect the Pixel 4a to be announced in July.
