Google Japan’s Twitter account accidentally posted a tweet of the Google Pixel 5, revealing the design of the phone and its price just days before its official reveal.
The tweet was hastily deleted, but 9to5Google detected it and captured the image of the Pixel 5 before it was deleted from Twitter. And that image confirms the Pixel 5 design we’ve seen in previous leaks.
Like many other leaks have revealed, this accidental post shows how the Pixel 5 will use a hole-punch selfie camera to deliver a near bezel-less display. There are still noticeable bezels around the phone’s screen, which are believed to be around six inches, as opposed to the sleek curved screen edges found on the likes of the Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra.
This gives the Pixel 5 the same utilitarian design as the Pixel 4a. And it also has the same straightforward design DNA of previous Pixel phones, and is expected to have a simple rear design with a dual or triple rear camera array.
All of this plays on the idea that the Pixel 5 will be less of a flagship phone than it once was, as it will use a mid-range Snapdragon 765G chip, as opposed to a higher-end Snapdragon 8-series chip found. in older versions. Pixel phones. By using such a chip, the Pixel 5 should be able to keep its price below the flagship $ 800 range to around $ 1,200.
And Google Japan published the price of the Pixel 5 in Japan, revealing that it will cost ¥ 74,800. That translates to $ 700, which is noticeably less than the Pixel 4’s $ 799 introductory price.
However, this price conversion does not take into account national differences in prices and taxes, so we recommend that you take it with a pinch of salt. But the Pixel 5 is expected to be cheaper than its predecessor, and this accidental tweet seems to confirm that rumor. This price is also in line with previous leaks in the US, as insider Jon Prosser previously claimed that the new phone will cost $ 699.
In short, the Pixel 5 is shaping up to be a pure Android phone that eschews some of the more superfluous features of previous Pixel phones, notably the Soli radar chip from the Pixel 4 that gave it a large top bezel.
We still expect to see some smart software features on the Pixel 5 when it is revealed on September 30 alongside the new Nest devices and Chromecast. But with the OnePlus 8T, Galaxy S20 FE, and iPhone 12 launching within the next month, Google has a lot of work ahead of it to stand out among the big fall flagships.
