Earlier, Pixels used to be the only flagship device with great cameras, average hardware and a high price tag. Slowly, Google brought about a change in its strategy with the Pixel 3a, which was a mid-range device with nearly as impressive cameras as the Pixel flagships and comparatively affordable pricing. Everyone’s waiting for the big hardware change from the software giant.

Also, Google will no longer be reliant on Qualcomm for driver updates allowing it to ship offer updates for a longer period of time. Slowly all manufacturers will start making their own Chipsets for a better experience in their devices. Look out for the “Chipset Manufacturers Doom” Article coming out pretty soon!
