It's weird.
But the a line is like the old Nexus line ... they're fabulous / reasonably priced / the 3a was available at sale prices fast! -
Root825054yMore examples:
• Samsung Galaxy S20 FE 5G
• Samsung Galaxy A71 5G UW
• Samsung :)
• LG K8 V
• Yezz Billy 4.7 -
What's the problem? In 2013 there was a model called Samsung Galaxy S4 LTE Advanced.
-
It's a very descriptive name tbh
Short, tells me exactly what I want to know about the device
I don't see what you dislike about it
So much better than XR Pro Max or whatever the crap iPhones are called (or for that matter, intel processors) -
@RememberMe it's literally no different than if they called it Pixel 4a XL, which is basically what the 4a 5G is
-
@Stuxnet yup. though XL was a nice name too. I generally like Google's names, they tend to not go for ostentatious bullshit or stuff that looks like it's ripped from an engineering analysis report.

@SortOfTested
I was thinking
{series} {model no} is good enough
if we want more information model no can tell that
Also the new phone should be named
Pixel 5
Pixel 5a
( like previous version where Pixel 4 and pixel 4a )
that’s it, it’s known new models has 5G
It’s a feature.
Why they are like let’s keep the old name and just add 5G. -
@RememberMe i loved the time when apple was like “you know the name of phone we are releasing,, you guessed it right it’s
iPhone {a single no}” -
@hardfault they do that because Pixel 5 is a different phone (which just got released). 4a 5G is an extension of the 4a. Not even close to the same thing.
