The first renowned Pixel 5 renders have now leaked, revealing what looks like a remix of a very well-known design seen earlier.
We have already seen some less reliable renders appear online, but this time renders have come with courtesy of the man with the best discussion so far. Steve Hemmestoffer, alias, @OnLeaks shared the high-resolution renderers in collaboration with Indian outlet PriceBaba.
The design feels like a combination of the recently released Pixel 4a and the Pixel 4, and takes the best of both designs and merges them into one device. So what can we pick up from these Pixel 5 renders that we do not already know? Well, in all honesty, nothing really big, because Google even revealed some design bits at the unveiling of the Pixel 4a a few weeks ago.
Fans of the physical fingerprint reader will be delighted as the rear-mounted capacitive fingerprint reader is set to return, while the square camera bump featured for the first time on the Pixel 4 and 4 XL was seen last year is set to return, according to the renders.
The expected specifications of the Google Pixel 5 include a Qualcomm Snapdragon 765G 5G-enabled chipset, at least 6 GB of RAM and 128 GB of storage, and battery sizes are not yet known. Again, these are still rumored, but the Pixel 5 renderers suggest that the device will measure in at 5.7 to 5.8 inches with a punch-hole notch above left that mimics that of the Pixel 4a.
We believe there will be no Pixel 5 XL model this year. Instead, we will be seeing the Pixel 4a 5G slot in that space for those who want to charge a larger smartphone with display. While the Pixel 5 renders a familiar design shown by our own digs, we do know, however, that this device probably differentiates itself from the Pixel 4a 5G by incorporating some exclusive software features such as reverse wireless charging – like battery sharing.
It is also expected to come with an IP68 rating for water and dust resistance, among which we are sure there will be a few other notable deviations – including no headphone jack. Fortunately, we already have a good idea of pricing, as Google promised that the Pixel 4a 5G and Pixel 5 will start at $ 499.
