Here’s when the Google Pixel 5 & Pixel 4a (5G) could be announced

###

Google’s Pixel 5 will be available to purchase in black and green at launch, according to Prosser, whereas the Pixel 4a (5G) will initially be limited to black. A white version of the latter is planned for release in October, however.

The dates fall in line with the usual flagship Google Pixel launch timeline and suggest the company has managed to avoid severe delays with its next-gen devices despite the pandemic.

Google Pixel 4a (5G): What to expect

Sitting on the inside of the smartphone looks set to be the Qualcomm Snapdragon 765G. The latter is one step down from a flagship processor and one step up from the Snapdragon 730G used inside the cheaper Pixel 4a, meaning it should still provide a very smooth software experience. 

That will likely be coupled with 6GB of RAM and 128GB of internal storage as standard. Unfortunately, whether other storage configurations are planned for release remains to be seen. 

Google Pixel 5: What to expect

The Google Pixel 5, unlike previous flagship Pixel lineups, will only be made available to purchase in one size. That model looks set to feature a very compact 5.8-inch display that shouldn’t make it any bigger than the Pixel 4a. 

But unlike the Pixel 4a models, the official Google marketing images show that it will boast a more premium construction that likely involves an aluminum frame and a glass panel on the back. A camera module similar to the one found on the Pixel 4a (5G) is expected too, but Google will most likely use upgraded camera sensors to better compete in the crowded flagship space.

As for the chipset, the Silicon Valley-based company has apparently selected the Snapdragon 765G again to help keep costs down. Pricing for the Google Pixel 5 is yet to be announced, but reports and rumors suggest it could land at $699 in the United States.
