Remember the Pixel 4a? After months of delays, Google's midrange smartphone is finally coming to market. Google made the phone official with only a quiet blog post, instead of the hyped-up online launch most other phones have been getting in the COVID-19 era.

The main thing we didn't know from the seven months of leaks was the price, which Google confirmed today is $350. It really seems like Google is doing the bare minimum for a launch here—there is no XL model, and the phone only comes in one color. The Pixel 4a is up for pre-order right now, with a ship date of August 20.

For your $350, you get a 5.81-inch, 2340×1080 60Hz OLED display,  a Snapdragon 730G SoC, 6GB of RAM, 128GB of UFS 2.1 storage, a 3140mAh battery and single 12MP on the back and an 8MP camera on the front. There's a USB-C port, and, surprisingly, a headphone jack.
