The Pixel 5A 5G, Google’s midrange counterpart to final 12 months’s Pixel 5, has been noticed within the FCC’s database, suggesting a launch may not be far-off. Android Police, which first noticed the 2 listings, reviews that none particularly point out the title “Pixel 5A” however that at the least one of many three mannequin numbers (GR0M2) traces up with earlier reviews concerning the barely introduced cellphone.
Android Police speculates that one of many fashions (G1F8F) is the model of the cellphone destined for launch within the US based mostly on its wi-fi frequency bands, however reviews that this model doesn’t provide help for mmWave 5G networks. In distinction, the Pixel 4A 5G supplied mmWave help when used with suitable carriers. The opposite two fashions may very well be the cellphone’s worldwide variations.
It’s anticipated to be powered by a Snapdragon 765G
In any other case the listings don’t provide many new particulars in comparison with what’s already been rumored concerning the cellphone. The Pixel 5a will reportedly be powered by a Qualcomm Snapdragon 765G processor, shall be geared up with a 6.2-inch OLED 1080p show, and can embody a headphone jack like Google’s earlier A-series Pixels. Two rear cameras are anticipated — a primary digital camera and an ultrawide — based mostly on the current leak of an ultrawide digital camera shot apparently taken by the unreleased cellphone.
The massive query now could be once we’ll see Google formally element the cellphone past merely confirming it exists. When it pre-announced the cellphone earlier this 12 months in response to rumors it had been cancelled, Google didn’t give a precise launch date, and merely mentioned it will be coming “later this 12 months.” It could additionally solely formally affirm a launch within the US and Japan however, as Android Police notes, it will be unusual to supply two worldwide variations of the handset if Japan is the one non-US marketplace for the gadget.
