Google Pixel 5 and Pixel 4a 5G have been officially confirmed to not come to India and Singapore, you will still have the Pixel 4a in October.

Google finally unveiled one of its most-anticipated smartphones of 2020, the Pixel 4a. The brand also confirmed that the Google Pixel 5 and Pixel 4a 5G will make their debut later in the year. While the two upcoming phones will certainly be available in many parts of the world, fans in Singapore and India will not be able to see them.

“Regarding the two new 5G Pixel phones 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.”

Google Pixel 5 & Pixel 4a 5G will not be available in India and Singapore

One of Google’s main reasons behind not offering Pixel 4a 5G in India should be the lack of 5G infrastructure in India. Therefore, it would be unnecessary to release a 5G version of the phone in the country. What about the Pixel 5? We know that the Pixel 5 will likely support 5G, but that is not really a sufficient reason to not bring the phone to the second-biggest phone maker in the world. And I doubt we will see a 4G version of the phone.

It could be possible that this decision relates to the Motion Sense, which is the radar-powered system that Google used in its Pixel 4 smartphones. It was the key reason for the company not bringing Pixel 4 & 4 XL to India in 2019. If the upcoming Google Pixel 5 also has Motion Sense, we will immediately know that the phone won’t make its way to India. One good news is that the Google Pixel 4a will come to India in October through Flipkart and the phone has been getting huge amount of good reviews so far.
