New Delhi: Google All set to launch its new Pixel smartphone — Pixel 6 And Pixel 6 Pro. The company can launch two new smartphones in October this year. However, just ahead of the launch of the new smartphone, Google has quietly hinted that it is discontinuing two other Pixel phones. Google has reportedly shut down Pixel 4a 5G and Pixel 5. Both the smartphones are currently listed as sold out on Google’s online store.
A company spokesperson told The Verge, “With our current forecasts, we expect the Google Store to sell the Pixel 4a (5G) and Pixel 5 in the US in the coming weeks following the Pixel 5a (5G) launch . These products will continue to be available through certain partners until supplied.”
Google already launched the Pixel 5A earlier this month, so the decision to discontinue the Pixel 4A isn’t surprising. However, it is quite unusual that the company has discontinued the Pixel 5 before the launch of the Pixel 6.
Earlier this month, Google officially revealed its next flagship smartphones – Pixel 6 and Pixel 6 Pro. The smartphone features a new design with a camera bar on the back and this is the first time that Google is using its own chip—Google Tensor—in a Pixel phone.
Google claims that the new Google Tensor chipset will deliver “the most innovative AI and Machine Learning (ML)” to our Pixel users. Google said that the highlight of Tensor is that it can process Google’s most powerful AI and ML models directly on the Pixel 6 and Pixel 6 Pro. “You will see a transformed experience thanks to the camera setup, speech recognition and many other Pixel 6 features,” it added.
