Google announced the Pixel 4a earlier this
month and teased its 5G variant alongside the Pixel 5, both of which are
rumored to launch on September 30. Google hasn't revealed any specs of these
smartphones yet, but the CAD-based renders of the Pixel 5 that leaked yesterday
revealed its design, and today we get to know more about the phone's specs.
Citing people familiar with Google's
upcoming phones, Android Central claims the Pixel 5 will have 8GB RAM and 128GB
storage onboard and it will be powered by the Snapdragon 765G SoC, which is
hardly a surprise since the smartphone was previously spotted on a benchmark
database with this chipset. Unlike its 4G counterpart that has a Snapdragon
730G SoC at the helm, the Pixel 4a 5G will also have the Snapdragon 765G under
the hood.
The Pixel 5 will sport a 6" 90Hz OLED
screen, which is 0.2" smaller than 4a 5G's display, but has the exact same
footprint as the Pixel 4a due to smaller bezels. The screen resolution could be
FullHD+ for both. For photography, the Pixel 5 will have a dual camera setup on
the back, which will be a combination of regular (wide) and ultrawide angle
cameras - the latter being a first for Pixel phones since Google has never used
an ultrawide angle lens for rear cameras.
The Pixel 5 was previously rumored to pack
a 3,080 mAh battery, which Android Central claims is false. The publication
doesn't have a specific number of the Pixel 5's cell size, but says that it
will be "considerably larger" than the Pixel 4's 2,800 mAh battery,
and the smartphone will support 15W Qi wireless charging and 5W reverse
wireless charging.
Google has confirmed that Pixel 4a 5G will
be priced at US$ 499, but it gave no clue about the Pixel 5's pricing. However, we
are still over a month away from the rumored launch of Pixel 5 and 4a 5G, so
expect to hear more about them in the coming weeks.
