Pixel 5a 5G price and specs leaked, rumored in late August

The Pixel 5a 5G has been “so” for a long time now, but it looks like it could be officially launched later this month. Google’s budget phone plans for this year have been a bit confusing, but we’re talking about tracking the Pixel 4a 5G rather than the smaller 4a. As such, the leaked specs and price will make sense – it’ll likely have a 6.4in screen and cost $ 450.

According to Jon Prosser, whose reputation was recently revamped by the Apple Accurate and Pixel 6 leaks, the Pixel 5a 5G will be unveiled later this month by Google, Thursday, August 26 to be exact. The phone will have a very similar design to the 4a 5G, except for a slightly larger 6.4-inch size. Prosser lists the refresh rate as “60Hz – 90Hz”, but we don’t know what that means – maybe it would be possible to force 90Hz in developer settings, but otherwise that changes? Your guess is as good as ours.

We’re looking at the same Snapdragon 765G as the Pixel 5, with a 4,650mAh battery and 6GB of RAM. The supposed 4,650mAh battery will be significantly larger than the 3,800mAh cell of the Pixel 4a 5G, and this phone actually has excellent battery life. The IP67 dust and water protection rating is also durable, which is welcome, and the headphone jack is preserved.

Apparently a sample of the Pixel 5a 5G camera.

While this may only be a slightly improved version of the Pixel 4a 5G, the 5a 5G will start at under $ 50, so we can’t really complain if all of this turns out to be true. It is only expected to launch in the US and Japan, at least primarily, and it will only be available in black, primarily from Google directly on the internet or its physical store.

Google’s smaller Pixel a series phones haven’t been less groundbreaking in camera quality in the budget price range, so it’s sad to see we won’t be getting a smaller 5a this year. The Pixel 5a 5G does appear to be an exciting mid-range, however, so we’re eagerly awaiting its full release. We need to know more details later this month.
