Connecting these two dots, many of us are expecting new affordable Google Pixel 3a and 3a XL devices to launch in that event.Google teased the event with “On May 7, something big is coming to the Pixel universe”. May 7 is the first day of this year’s I/O developer conference in Mountain View. So there are many things, which Google could possibly bring in the limelight. But since Google has specifically mentioned “Pixel Universe”, the one clear idea that comes to the mind is the Pixel phones. However, the next flagship devices in Google’s lineup (possibly Pixel 4 and Pixel 4XL) are due to launch in October. So there are many possibilities of Google Pixel 3a and 3a XL to make a debut then.
