After not ca-ca anappearance earlier this summer as antecedently expected , new leaks have now discover a bunch of the Pixel 5a nitty-gritty specs ahead of its official exit later this month .
According toFront Page Tech ’s Jon Prosser , the Pixel 5a is set to go on sale on August 26 , though funnily it seems the phone will only be uncommitted in two countries ( at least initially ): the U.S. and Japan .
But more significantly , Prosser also detailed a few of the Pixel 5a ’s headline specs , which appear to be quite exchangeable to last year’sPixel 5 , but with a much larger display . Prosser says the Pixel 5a will have a 6.4 - inch display ( most in all likelihood using an OLED panel ) with a 90Hz refresh pace , which would be a important jump up from the 6 - inch screenland on the Pixel 5 or the 6.2 - column inch showing on thePixel 4a 5G.And unlike last yr , there does n’t seem to be a smaller or cheaper version of the Pixel 5a like we got with the standardPixel 4a .

Other specs are rumored to include a Qualcomm Snapdragon 765 splintering ( which should mean the Pixel 5a will come with 5 G connectivity ) , 6 GB of RAM , and a properly orotund 4,650 mAh electric battery . Though unhappily , unlike the Pixel 5 , it seems the Pixel 5a wo n’t issue forth with backing for wireless charging .
Notably , the Pixel 5a is also carry to feature the same television camera used on last year ’s Pixel 5 , while also supporting an IP67 evaluation for junk and water supply electrical resistance and a dedicated 3.5 mm audio frequency jack . As for the Pixel 5a ’s design , based on recent render , it seems Google is flummox with a very minimalist approach , with the Pixel 5a featuring a simple matte black body , rear fingerprint sensing element , and a punch - hole selfie cam in the top odd corner — which is basically the same as last yr ’s Pixel 4a 5G.
It ’s also of import to note that while Google has yet to reveal pricing for thePixel 6,with Google ’s upcoming flagship not only have a tonic fresh design , a new custom - build SoC , an in - blind fingerprint reader , and improve cameras , it ’s clear Google is positioning the Pixel 6 as a high - end premium machine . And if the Pixel 6 come out with a terms rag of around $ 800 or more , that could make the Pixel 5a a more important choice for anyone looking for an affordable mid - range choice .
Even though Prosser ’s track record of leaks has been somewhat uneven this year ( especially when it comes to his Apple leaks ) , he says that due to the nature of his source , he is “ confident ” that the contingent above will be what we get on the final machine . Either way , with Prosser saying the Pixel 5a is due out on August 26 , we should know a lot more before the end of the calendar month .
