Google’s Pixel 4a 5G and Pixel 5 may have popped up in the wild


You might not have to wonder what Google’s Pixel 4a 5G and Pixel 5 are in person – you could look at them right now. De 9to5Google team posted a briefly visible Reddit photo that appeared to show both Pixel phones in the wild, along with specs. The image itself suggested that the Pixel 4a 5G (shown on the right) would have an extra camera over the standard Pixel 4a, not to mention a significantly larger screen. It appears the Durable Pixel 5 you see on the left.

The recorded specs suggested that both new Pixels would offer significant performance improvements over the 4a. On top of the added wide-angle camera, the phones would presumably share a faster Snapdragon 765G chip – we’re a little skeptical that this will reach the 4a 5G, but we wouldn’t rule it out. You would also get much larger batteries, with a 3,800mAh unit in the Pixel 4a 5G and a 4000mAh power pack in the Pixel 5. The Pixel 5 would not have a headphone jack, but it would have a fast 90Hz display and 8GB RAM versus 60Hz and 6GB in the 4a 5G.
