Google launched its third generation Pixel phones in October this year. These phones were the Pixel 3 and the Pixel 3 XL. It looks like Google has more plans of launching smartphones this year. The company is reportedly planning to launch mid-range Pixel phones for the first time. After the Nexus 5X which was launched back in 2015, this is the first time that Google has decided to bring phones for the masses. These mid-range phones will be toned down versions of the Pixel 3 and the Pixel 3 XL. These phones are said to be called the Pixel 3 Lite and Pixel 3 XL Lite.

A lot has already been revealed and talked about these two Lite Pixel phones. But now some details regarding the launch of these phones are coming out. According to a new report, the Pixel 3 Lite and the Pixel 3 XL Lite will be launching in Spring 2019, that is around April and May. This launch timeline is for the U.S but considering Google usually launches its Pixel phones in India at the same time as the Global rollout we expect the Pixel 3 Lite and Pixel 3 XL Lite to come to India around April or May next year.
