Pixel 5 will include a bigger battery, RAM, and Snapdragon 765G

Price rumored between USD 600-700

It’s only a few days away before we saw the unveiling of Google’s latest flagship, Pixel 5. However, that doesn’t stop the leaks from pouring in. Detailed specs of the upcoming device have been leaked, leaving little to speculation.

Detailed specs of the Pixel 5

According to WinFuture, Pixel 5 will have a 6-inch display set at FHD+ resolution. Google is keeping the 90Hz refresh rate here, a feature already introduced on the company’s 2019 flagship.

An interesting tidbit is the use of flexible OLED for the display. With the flexible OLED, Google is able to shrink the bezels of the device on each edge. Leaked renders suggest uniform bezels on all sides. This is a nice, tiny must-have for people irked by asymmetrical bezels.

Major changes for the Pixel 5 include an all-aluminum design for the flagship. However, this conflicts with past rumors suggesting that the flagship may include a polycarbonate plastic back. The polycarbonate rumor might still be in play since earlier leaks indicated that Google will introduce reverse wireless charging this year. Still, it is interesting how the company will refine the Pixel’s design.

Overall, the design of the Pixel 4a will carry on Pixel 5. A display cut-out upfront will house the 8MP selfie camera. Unlike last year’s Pixel 4, this year’s Pixel flagship will use a fingerprint sensor on the back for authentication.

In terms of the rear camera, Pixel 5 will sport a dual-camera setup once again. The setup consists of a 12.2MP primary camera with a 16MP wide-angle camera. A new interesting addition this year is support for 4K 60FPS video recording. In recent years, Pixel owners have been complaining about the lack of such a feature that is already present on other flagships.

A major change this year is the battery capacity of the Pixel 5. Google is reportedly fitting a 4,080mAa battery this time around, with 18W wired charging for top-ups. The large battery actually eclipses both Pixel 4’s 2,800mAh battery and Pixel 4 XL’s 3,700mAh battery.

WinFuture also confirms long-rumored specs for the upcoming flagship. This includes a Qualcomm Snapdragon 765G with support for 5G networks. Finally, RAM is getting a boost to 8GB, which is 2GB more than last year. Storage options begin at 128GB. Expect a USB-C port, dual bottom-firing speakers but no headphone jack on the device.

Of course, the flagship will run Android 11 out of the box. Considering that this is a Pixel device, expect three years of updates as a standard. Still, it is exciting to see if Google will up the ante and promise additional years of software updates, especially with Samsung setting the bar high.

Pricing and availability

Rumors indicate retail pricing of around US$ 600 – 700 with the Pixel 5. If that holds true, this year’s Google Pixel 5 will deliver serious competition for upper-midrange and value flagship phones. A September 30 unveiling is likely considering that Google has announced a major event for that day. The much cheaper Pixel 4a 5G is also likely to debut that day, along with other products from the company.
