The smartphone was unveiled in New York on Tuesday and officially goes on sale on October 24, but it won''''t be available in India.

该手机于周二在纽约揭晓，将于10月24日正式开售，但是在印度将看不到它的身影。

"We decided not to make Pixel 4 available in India," a Google spokesperson said in a statement to CNN Business.

在给CNN商业版的一份声明中，一位谷歌发言人表示，“我们决定不让Pixel4手机在印度上市”。

That''''s reportedly because one of the Pixel 4''''s key components, a Soli radar chip that enables facial recognition and gesture controls, operates on a frequency that India doesn''''t allow companies to use. Google was unable to obtain a license from Indian authorities to use the 60 Gigahertz frequency, according to several media reports.

据报道这是因为Pixel4手机的一个关键部件，一枚独立雷达芯片有面部识别和手势控制功能，印度不允许公司使用该芯片运行所需的频率。根据几份媒体报道，谷歌没办法从印度有关部门申请到一张60吉赫频率使用许可证。

India''''s Department of Telecommunications did not immediately respond to a request for comment. Google said the company''''s devices are made available in countries "based on a variety of factors, including local trends and product features," but it declined to comment on why the Pixel 4 was not being launched in India.

印度电信部没有立即回应置评请求。谷歌表示旗下产品会“基于诸多因素，包括当地形势和产品特点”在不同国家上市，但拒绝就Pixel4为何不在印度上市发表评论。

"We remain committed to our current Pixel phones and look forward to bringing future Pixel devices to India," the company spokesperson said.

该公司发言人表示，“我们将继续销售现有的Pixel手机，期待会把后续的Pixel设备带到印度市场”。

India is not the only country where Motion Sense — the feature that allows users to control the Pixel 4 through hand gestures — has hit roadblocks. The feature is also not yet available in Japan, Google said on its support page, but will roll out there by spring 2020.

体感（功能）——让用户能够用手势操控Pixel手机的这项功能不仅仅在印度碰壁。谷歌在该产品（服务）支持页面表示，这项功能在日本也不能用，但将于2020年春天在当地上线。

However, Japan is one of a dozen countries where the Pixel 4 will go on sale, a list that also includes the United Kingdom, Australia, Canada, Germany, France, Spain, Italy, Ireland, Singapore and Taiwan.

不过，日本是Pixel4手机发售的10多个国家（或地区）之一，这份列表中也包括英国、澳洲、加拿大、德国、法国、西班牙、意大利、爱尔兰、新加坡和中国台湾地区。

India is a huge prize for smartphone makers, with more than 400 million users and a potential market of several hundred million more who have yet to get connected to the internet.

印度市场对于智能手机制造商来说是一个巨大的奖励，这里有超过4亿的用户以及一个还有几亿人没有连上互联网的潜在市场。

But the Indian market is dominated by Chinese players like Xiaomi and BBK Electronics, which together made up nearly 60% of smartphone sales last quarter, and global leader Samsung, which accounted for another 25%.

但是印度（智能手机）市场正被像小米和步步高点子这样的中国玩家占据，它们两家上季度的销量约占60%，而国际领军品牌三星占到25%的份额。

Google''''s smartphones, with their high price tag (the Pixel 4 starts at $799), are out of reach for the average Indian, who earns less than $2,000 a year, according to the latest International Labor Organization figures.

根据国际劳工组织发布的最新数据，谷歌出品的智能手机，价格很高（Pixel4起售价为799美元），这超出了普通印度人的接受范围，他们的年收入少于2000美元。

The company accounts for less than 1% of India''''s smartphone market, according to Tarun Pathak of Counterpoint Research.

来自Counterpoint Research机构的Tarun Pathak表示，谷歌在印度智能手机市场的份额不到1%。

As in Japan, it could have launched the Pixel 4 in India without some features. Apple has taken a similar approach in the past, when it started selling the Apple Watch without its heart rate monitor last year. Apple finally added the feature to its Indian watches about a month ago.

在日本，谷歌可能会发售禁用一些功能后的Pixel4。去年，当苹果公司在印度销售不带心率监测功能的苹果手表时已经采取了一种类似的方式。一个月前苹果终于把这项功能加入到在印度发售的苹果手表中。

But Google doesn''''t have enough of a presence in India to justify reworking its devices for the country, Pathak said.

Pathak表示，但是谷歌手机在印度存在感不足，没有充分理由表明其将为了印度市场调整自己的设备。

Google still sells its older Pixel models in the country, including the Pixel 3, the Pixel 3 XL, and the Pixel 3a.

谷歌仍将在印度销售老款的Pixel手机，包括Pixel3，Pixel3 XL和Pixel 3a。

"This should not be seen as an exit," Pathak added. "It''''s still a lucrative market for Google... it''''s not like everything is lost because they couldn''''t launch one series."

Pathak补充说，“这一举动不应被视为退出（印度市场），对谷歌来说，这里仍是有利可图的市场…不能说因为无法发布其中一个系列就说（谷歌）失去了一切。”
