Google Pixel 4a inches closer to launch as it gets FCC certified

The Google Pixel 4a was supposed to arrive in May but the launch got delayed to June, then July and a recent report claimed the 2020 Pixel isn't coming before October. There's no official word from Google yet, but a Google smartphone which is likely the Pixel 4a has been certified by the USA's FCC, meaning it's closer to launch than ever.

FCC lists a Google phone with three different model numbers - G025N, G025M, and G025J - with the last one likely being the US model. The documents shared by FCC also reveal Google will opt for an e-label to keep the back of the smartphone devoid of any markings for a clean look.

Additionally, the FCC filing includes a complete list of wireless bands the smartphone will support.
