Google confirmed its Pixel 4a smartphone will be launched in India on October 17 and is going to be sold in the country via Flipkart. There is no mention of the price though the good thing is, we will get to know of that within just a few weeks. That said, the Pixel 4a can already be bought from Amazon.in where it is retailing for Rs. 54,100.
The price though might seem a bit on the higher side considering that there are a few cheaper options available that offer better specs. For instance, there is the Samsung Galaxy M51 having the same SD730G processor (6 GB + 128 GB) that is priced Rs. 25,000 while the 8 GB + 128 GB model of the same is priced Rs. 27,000. The M51 also comes with a few other goodies such as a massive 7000 mAh battery and quad rear cameras.
