As per the latest leak on the Pixel 4a emerging from Germany, the phone is all set to go on sale from May 22 with a Vodafone contract, which is one of the network service providers in Germany. The Pixel 4a could cost 399 Euros in the country (approx Rs 32,000) but India pricing is expected to be above Rs 40,000 due to higher import cost and taxes.
