Here are all the Android Q features announced by Google at I/O 2019: Live Caption Starting off with the newer features that we didn’t get to see in the betas so far.

Price And Availability Though Google’s intention behind launching a mid-range Pixel was to capture markets like India, the company has completely missed the mark on the pricing front. The Pixel 3a has been priced at a hefty Rs. 39,999 whereas its bigger sibling will retail at Rs. 44,999 for the 4GB and 64GB variant. The pricing of the Pixel 3a for the Indian market is really disappointing. Google is planning to sell more phones in the form of this mid-ranger, but it will find it difficult to court users in India with this pricing. The US pricing of the Pixel 3a is a lot more genero...
