Google Pixel 4a launches in India, takes on the OnePlus Nord
August 21, 2025
Google’s mid-rangePixel 4awas first announced back in August, and the company had promised that the phone will launch in India later in the year. True to its claims, the Pixel 4a is finally making its debut on Indian shores, two months after its global launch.
The Pixel 4a is powered by a Snapdragon 730G chipset paired up with 6GB of RAM and 128GB of storage. Users get a 5.81-inch OLED display with Gorilla Glass 3 as well as a 3,140mAh battery that can be fast charged at 18W.
The real upsell, of course, is the superlative imaging experience offered by the sole 12.2MP camera as we talk about in ourPixel 4a review.
Google goes lower on pricing
What comes as a surprise, however, is Google’s aggressive pricing of the Pixel 4a in India. The phone will retail at Rs 31,999 (~$435) in India with introductory pricing set at Rs 29,999 (~$410) when the phone goes on sale starting October 16 over at Flipkart.
This is in sharp contrast to previous launches. ThePixel 3a, for example, debuted at Rs. 39,999 (~$545) in the country which made it a bit of a non-starter amidst tough competition.
The Pixel 4a’s aggressive pricing in India pits it right against theOnePlus Nord. While the latter has more powerful hardware like a Snapdragon 765G chipset and more RAM, the Pixel 4a counters it with a clean Android build, three years of quick updates, and of course, the flagship-grade camera.
Elsewhere, Google is also introducing its latest smart speaker, theNest Audio, in India. The redesigned speaker outputs 75% higher volume and 50% more bass. The Nest Audio is priced at Rs 7,999 (~$110) in India with an introductory discount bringing it down to Rs 6,999 (~$95). Both the Pixel 4a and Nest Audio will be available on Flipkart as well as offline retailers like Reliance Retail and Tata Cliq.
