Google introduced the Pixel 4a last month and is rumored to launch the Pixel 5 on October 15, with the 4a 5G said to arrive in November. Thanks to the leaked renders and specs sheets, we have a pretty good idea of what to expect from both smartphones.
The Pixel 4a 5G and Pixel 5
look similar, but an image of what's allegedly a prototype of the Pixel 5 has
surfaced, which reveals Google's team once considered a weird and strange
design for the smartphone. The prototype has a two-tone design reminiscent of
the first-gen Pixel's from 2016, except that it's the bottom portion that's
made of glass. At least that's what it looks like.
While the source says it is
the Pixel 5, upon closer inspection, you can notice there's a cutout at the top
for the 3.5mm headphone jack, which from previous leaks we know is absent on
the Pixel 5 but is present on the 4a 5G, meaning this could be a prototype of
the Pixel 4a 5G we are looking at. More so because the power button is painted
white.
Whatever phone this is, we are
glad Google scrapped this design in favor of a not-too-exciting yet sober one.
