A reliable tipster recently claimed that Google has been canceled the Pixel 5a smartphone due to the chip shortage issue. Soon a report by Android Central appeared stating that the Pixel 5a 5G will get a limited release in the U.S. and Japan, and it will not realize in other regions. Google quickly debunked the rumor about Pixel 5a’s cancellation by saying that it will be launching the Pixel 5a 5G smartphone.
A Google spokesperson speaking to 9to5Google refuted the rumors by saying, “Pixel 5a 5G is not canceled. It will be available later this year in the US and Japan and announced in line with when last year’s a-series phone was introduced.” The official statement not only confirms the arrival of the smartphone but also reveals that it will carry support for 5G connectivity. However, it is unclear whether there will be another model with only 4G LTE support.
It is interesting to see that Google’s spokesperson has specifically mentioned the US and Japan as the only two markets that will be receiving the Pixel 5a 5G. Last year, the Pixel 4a 5G and Pixel 5 were made available in limited markets and it seems that the upcoming Pixel 5a 5G could be will available in just two markets.
Past reports have claimed that the Google Pixel 5a could be debuting in June. A recent report claimed that the Pixel 5a could be coming to India since it has been certified by the Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS). Probably, the country could be treated with the 4G edition of the device. Nothing much is known about the specifications of the Pixel 5a. Early renders of the smartphone have revealed that it will look a lot like the Pixel 4a 5G.
