Google’s phone range is a bit muddy with devices like the Pixel 4a 5G and Pixel 5 offering only subtle differences between them, and this may not get any clearer this year. Famous tipster OnLeaks and Voice shared what they thought were leaked design details of a Pixel 5a, and it would effectively be a remix of the 4a 5G. It would not be quite a bad thing between the 6.2-inch OLED screen, dual cameras at the rear, headphone jack and stereo speakers, but anyone expecting a refurbishment would be disappointed.
There are no fixed specifications beyond this, so it is unclear whether the Pixel 5a will include 5G, a faster processor or other internal upgrades over the no-frills 4a. Although the 5a can count the same screen and camera as the 4a 5G, it will not be surprising if Google lowers the performance to keep the price low and give you a reason to use more expensive pixels.
It’s not sure just when the Pixel 5a would arrive. The 4a was launched in early August, but the debut was hampered by the pandemic – many were expecting a new phone at I / O in May before Google canceled the event. The company may try to speed up the 5a version to get back on track, but there are no guarantees that it will replace the 4a so quickly. When a 5a arrives, it can make your choice of phone so much more difficult.
