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 won’t be distant. Android Police, which first noticed the 2 listings, stories that none particularly point out the identify “Pixel 5A” however that at the very least one of many three mannequin numbers (GR0M2) strains up with earlier stories concerning the barely introduced telephone.
Android Police speculates that one of many fashions (G1F8F) is the model of the telephone destined for launch within the US based mostly on its wi-fi frequency bands, however stories that this model doesn’t provide help for mmWave 5G networks. In distinction, the Pixel 4A 5G provided mmWave help when used with suitable carriers. The opposite two fashions might be the telephone’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 telephone. The Pixel 5a will reportedly be powered by a Qualcomm Snapdragon 765G processor, can 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 important digital camera and an ultrawide — based mostly on the current leak of an ultrawide digital camera shot apparently taken by the unreleased telephone.
The massive query now’s after we’ll see Google formally element the telephone past merely confirming it exists. When it pre-announced the telephone earlier this 12 months in response to rumors it had been cancelled, Google didn’t give an actual launch date, and merely stated it will be coming “later this 12 months.” It will additionally solely formally verify a launch within the US and Japan however, as Android Police notes, it will be unusual to provide two worldwide variations of the handset if Japan is the one non-US marketplace for the system.
