Xda-Developers with the help of Julio Lusson ( who already has a Pixel 4a ) have posted a Photo Gallery of sample shots from the upcoming Pixel 4a.  PIxel 4a Camera Hardware Details: Pixel 4a is using a Sony IMX363 sensor with an F1.7 aperture as the main camera. On the front, there is a Sony IMX355 sensor with an F2.0 aperture for your selfies. These same sensors are seen on older Google Pixel phones like Pixel 3 and Pixel 3a. So hardware-wise, we don't have many changes to talk about. This is a Pixel device, which means, it uses Google's Software magic to achieve better photography from these tiny sensors. Popular features like HDR+, Night Sight, Astrophotography mode, Portrait mode, etc are here as well, and they perform as expected.  Pixel 4a will be launching in the US in a couple of weeks' time and will be priced at $399.

Google's Pixel phones are quite expensive. Not everyone could afford one. Especially in countries like India, oems like OnePlus offered much better spec'ed phone for almost half the price of Pixel. To get more customers to buy a Pixel phone, Google launched two mid-range Pixel phones last year - Pixel 3a and Pixel 3a XL.  Pixel 3a was launched for a price of $399 in the US. It was quite well received thanks to it's great camera with Nightsight. However, outside US, the launch price was way higher. In India, Pixel 3a was launched at a price of Rs 39,999 ( Around $570 ). Indian customers can buy phones with flagship Qualcomm processors for much lesser price.
