Even if they are little, there are significant
improvements to an already excellent midrange phone, and the best thing is that
the price has dropped: in the US, it will cost $449, which is $50 cheaper than
the Pixel 4A 5G's introductory price. On August 26th, the 5A will be available
in the United States and Japan.
The Pixel 5A's screen is somewhat larger around 6.34
inches, compared to the 4A 5G's 6.2-inch display. Despite rumours of a faster
90Hz display, it's still a 1080p OLED with a conventional 60Hz refresh rate.
The battery capacity has been increased to 4,680mAh, up from 3,885mAh, and
Google claims that it will last for a full day of normal use or two days in
Extreme Battery Saver mode. Because of its metal body, the Pixel 5a 5G appears
to be heavier than its predecessor which weights around 185 gm, which is a
first for a Pixel a series device.
Similarly, Google keeps using Corning Gorilla Glass
3 and the same 8-megapixel front-facing camera hidden behind a punch-hole. The
Pixel 5a 5G retains the 12 MP and 16 MP rear-facing cameras from its
predecessor, too. The 12 MP and 16 MP rear-facing cameras
are also carried over from the Pixel 5a 5G's predecessor.
The rest of the specs are the same as the previous
model. The Snapdragon 765G chipset with 6GB of RAM and 128GB of storage is
still present. The phone comes with a rear fingerprint reader for biometric
unlocking, an actual headphone jack, and an 18W charger. The phone will come
preloaded with Android 11 and will be backed throughout three years by Google's
standard OS platform updates and security patches.
The Google Pixel 5 will not be available through any
of the major wireless carriers in the United States, unlike the 4A 5G. Instead,
it will be available through Google Fi and the Google Store. It will be
available in only one colour — "predominately black" — with four
colourful case options available separately.
