Google officially confirmed that it will unveil the Pixel 5a 5G before the end of this year
Rumors have surfaced this morning that Google has allegedly changed its mind about releasing the Pixel 5a 5G smartphone. The search giant has now denied this information to 9to5google, saying that the new device will be unveiled around the same time as the Pixel 4a 5G last year, that is, at the end of September. But the device will be released only in two countries.
Google has acknowledged that global supply issues are limiting the company’s manufacturing capabilities, but the next mid-range Pixel smartphone will be released ” on schedule .” That said, Google’s announcement that the device will be unveiled in the same time frame as the Pixel 4a 5G last year kills hopes that the search giant will announce the smartphone during I / O 2021 mid-May. …
It is also worth noting that Google, in its statement, said that the smartphone would be released on time in the US and Japanese markets. Renowned analyst Jon Prosser suggests that this could mean late launches in other regions or none at all.
In February of this year, the Pixel 5a 5G renders were leaked, suggesting that the device will receive almost the same design as the Pixel 4a 5G. On the renders, the smartphone is presented in black, but it can be assumed that later Google will add new colors, as was the case with the Pixel 4a 5G. It is worth noting that, according to leaks, the upcoming mid-budget smartphone, like the flagship Pixel 6, will be based on a proprietary Google chip developed in conjunction with Samsung.
