This follows on from the first major Pixel 5a leak just a couple of days ago, which revealed some images and specs that we discuss below.

The new video below shows off a familiar-looking phone that keeps Google'south soft-textured plastic back from previous Pixel a-series phones. Interestingly the power push in this video is the same color equally the body, a divergence from the contrasting colors Google has chosen for the by couple of years.

Below is the rear fingerprint sensor that has been common to the Pixel a-series phones since the original Google Pixel 3a. It'due south not every bit fancy looking as facial recognition systems or under-display fingerprint sensors, but information technology's even so convenient and reliable.

From what we can see and so far, the Pixel 5a seems to be a reheated Google Pixel 4a 5G in terms of the design, cameras and display. The Pixel 4a 5G is an excellent mid-range phone, but we would have liked to come across more changes between ane generation and the adjacent.

It's possible these changes may appear under the Pixel 5a's skin. Hemmerstoffer'south leaks oasis't told us annihilation about the telephone'south chipset, or the resolution of the camera sensors.

These may end upwards beingness downgraded, but with good reason. The Pixel 4a that the 5a will replace is only $349. If Google wants to keep that price, which undercuts rival phones like the iPhone SE, then it will have to cutting back on some of the 4a 5G's features.

Google launched the Pixel 4an August, with the Pixel 4a 5G post-obit information technology in November. The Pixel 3a launched in May the previous year, however, which is likely when the Pixel 5a will announced this year too.

Whenever it does debut, nosotros take high hopes it'll get a identify in our best Android phones rankings.
