Renders of an early Google Pixel 5 XL prototype<\/a> revealed a pretty crazy design that centered around an unusually shaped camera module on the back. But if new images<\/a> are to be believed, it seems the company has since scrapped that design in favor of something more traditional. <\/p>\n Leaker David Kowalski doesn’t have much of a proven track record at the moment, but in early May the tipster did publish CAD-based renders of the standard Samsung Galaxy Note 20<\/a> which so far appear to have been mostly accurate.<\/div>\n Despite the undeniable resemblance with the scrapped Google Pixel 4a XL, the renders visible both above and below allegedly showcase the flagship Google Pixel 5 in its entirety. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n Tags:<\/b> Joshua Swingle<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"\nCan the source of the Pixel 5 renders be trusted?<\/h2>\n
<\/div>\n\nHis leaks should, however, still be taken with a very generous pinch of salt. That also applies to his latest one, which focuses on the Google Pixel 5<\/a> but is “doubtful” according to reliable leaker Steve Hemmerstoffer<\/a>. This might be because Google itself is yet to finalise the design and the pictured device could just be yet another prototype. <\/div>\n\nThe Google Pixel 5 might resemble the scrapped Google Pixel 4a XL<\/h2>\n
<\/div>\n\nThe dimensions are the biggest giveaway that this smartphone isn’t the canceled mid-ranger. Whereas the Google Pixel 4a XL reportedly measures in at 154.3 x 73.9 x 8.2mm, the Google Pixel 5 is considerably smaller at 144.6 x 70.4 x 8mm.<\/div>\n <\/div>\nThat compact design is made possible by the presence of a 5.8-inch OLED display surrounded by uniform bezels and a small punch hole in the top-left corner. The latter replaces the larger forehead that housed the Project Soli radar chip and Face Unlock on the Google Pixel 4<\/a>. <\/div>\n\nTurning the smartphone over reveals a very familiar design characterized by the presence of a square camera module. The latter, unlike the camera modules on rival smartphones, has barely been changed and still houses a simple dual-camera system, an LED flash, and a microphone.<\/div>\n <\/div>\nAnother interesting feature is the rear-mounted fingerprint scanner. Most premium devices these days boast in-screen implementations, but Google has seemingly avoided those as part of a decision that should ensure reliability. <\/div>\n <\/div>\nCompleting the physical package is an aluminum frame that is home to a USB-C port and speaker on the bottom, and the volume rocker and power key on the right side. Like the previous Pixel flagship series, there is no 3.5mm headphone jack.<\/div>\nGoogle Pixel 5 specs, announcement, release date, price<\/h2>\n
Accompanying the external side of things should be a Qualcomm chipset. Google typically chooses the latest high-end Snapdragon 800-series offering but has this year reportedly selected the Snapdragon 765 or Snapdragon 768 to guarantee 5G connectivity at a lower price point.<\/div>\n <\/div>\nIt will likely be paired with 6GB of RAM and 128GB of non-expandable internal storage as standard. Pricier configurations with higher storage counts should be available at launch, though.<\/div>\n <\/div>\n\nSpeaking of the launch, rumor has it that the Pixel 5 series will be officially introduced in either late October or November ahead of shipments some weeks later. The devices are expected to come with Android 11 pre-installed straight out of the box.<\/div>\n <\/div>\nThe Google Pixel 5 series is expected to start somewhere between $699 and $799 for the standard model as part of an attempt to compete more directly with the iPhone 12<\/a> and iPhone 12 Max. The XL model will probably cost $100 more.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n <\/div>\n<\/div>\nSee Campaign: <\/strong>https:\/\/www.phonearena.com\/news\/google-pixel-5-5g-design-renders-leak_id125752<\/a>
