There were hints that Google planned on introducing another colour variant for the Pixel 4a. But it wasn't announced during the phone's launch.

It's offered at the same price in the US for US$349. Here, we only get the Just Black model for $679.

While version 8.0 of the Google Camera app was initially just available for the Pixel 5, it seems Google is now ready to share its features with older Pixel devices. Version 8.1 of the app has started to roll out to devices as old as the Pixel 2 and 2 XL.

It's not a complete overhaul of the app, but some of its features have been redesigned or reshuffled.
