Pixel X = Flagship, most expensive with best hardware and most features

Pixel Xa = Cheaper version of Pixel X, often with one tier down processor, less RAM, and lacking some features like wireless charging

Pixel 4a 5G (marketed as a 4a with 5G support) is somewhat of a weird case where it's actually closer to what we'd expect from a Pixel 5a (which is likely why it was discontinued while the Pixel 4a was not)

I am entirely lost

4a is a cheaper version of 4, except 4a 5G, which is 5a? But 5a also exists?

I am really lost here

The 4a 5G and 5a are separate phones, but target roughly the same price point and feature set (basically the mid tier "phone with 5G" market). When the 4a 5G launched years ago the 5a didn't exist. Now that it does the 4a 5G is being discontinued.

Yeah, the naming scheme sucks, google should have just called them the 5a and 5b or something.

The 4a 5G was launched less than a year ago, fyi.

For comparison, at one point I had three Samsung J2s all with different chipsets...
