The Google Pixel 5 is just over a week away from its debut, but we may have already learned what it is going to cost.
WinFuture’s Roland quandt revealed these details on Twitter, with the promise of more information to come. But what you’ve already told us is already enough potential evidence of a major shake-up in the world of flagship phones.
Quandt claims that the Pixel 5 will cost € 629 and the Pixel 4a 5G will start at € 499. The price matches a previous leak that also gave the Pixel 5 a value of 629 euros. That works out to £ 575 or $ 739. Don’t put too much value on these figures, though, as it’s difficult to get an exact equivalent price just by converting coins.
So here’s the deal: Pixel 4a 5G: 499 euros. Black, White Pixel 5: 629 Euro. Black. Green.gn8. More tomorrow.September 22, 2020
For comparison, a Samsung Galaxy S20 costs 876 euros in Germany, while an iPhone 11 with 64GB of storage (the cheapest option) costs 778 euros. Given that historically they have been the two phone series that are the Pixel’s closest rivals, the price difference will be quite significant if Quandt’s leak is accurate.
This large price decrease is due to the alleged lower specs of the Pixel 5. It is believed to be using a less powerful and cheaper Snapdragon 765G chipset instead of the basic Android flagship of the Snapdragon 865. While this means less performance power , this chip should still offer all the power that the Pixel 5 needs to deliver the user experience based on Google’s trademark software, while also offering 5G to those who want it.
Quandt’s tweet also mentions a price tag of 499 euros for the Pixel 4a 5G. The US price has already been confirmed by Google at $ 499, which hopefully means we’ll see something similar in GBP when it comes to the UK.
While other sources have mentioned the phone’s supposed black and green color options, Quandt doesn’t mention any white options. Google has historically offered a white Pixel with every generation, and a recent leak from European retailers has suggested that a white Pixel 5 will be available. The white option may be exclusive to certain retailers or operators, hence we get mixed messages from the rumor mill.
Google’s big announcement for the Pixel 5, Pixel 4a 5G, and probably some new Nest and Chromecast devices is slated for September 30. Other major changes to the flagship Pixel to watch out for are the new punch-hole selfie camera, first seen on the Pixel 4a, a default Android 11 operating system, and dual main / ultrawide rear cameras.
