The new images again hint that the design of the Pixel 5a 5G will be almost identical to the Pixel 4a 5G from last year. The back panel seems to have a rubbery feel instead of the hard plastic that was offered on the predecessor model.

The top edge of the frame appears to feature a cutout for the 3.5mm audio jack. Its right edge has a ribbed power key and a volume rocker. A fingerprint scanner, and a squarish camera module that houses a dual-camera setup, and an LED flash can be seen on the rear shell of the device. One of the images shows that it is equipped with a 4,680mAh battery.

The post Google Pixel 5a 5G component images emerge before rumored August 17 launch appeared first on Gizmochina.

The Google Pixel 5a has been in news for a few past months. It was speculated in April that the phone has been canceled, but Google was quick to respond that it will be launching around the same time as the Pixel 4a did last year. The Pixel 4a was made official in August, which indicates that the Pixel 5a may break cover in the same month. A recent by Bloomberg also claimed that the Pixel 5a will be launching in August. Ahead of the expected launch, the Pixel 5a has bagged approval from the Federal Communications Commission (FCC).

The FCC listing mentions three model numbers as G1F8F, G4S1M, and GR0M2. Among these, two have the same FCC ID, whereas the other one has a different FCC ID. It appears that the U.S. may receive two variants of the phone, one that will be exclusively available through Verizon, and another one that will be sold through other carriers.

The global edition of the Pixel 5a seems to lack support for CDMA. While the FCC mentions three models, it is unclear which model numbers belong to the variants heading to the U.S. and global markets. The FCC has no information on the specifications of the Pixel 5a.

The Pixel 5a CAD renders that appeared a few months back revealed that its appearance is similar to the Pixel 4a 5G. Moreover, it is expected to feature the same Snapdragon 765G, which fueled the predecessor model.

Last year, Google sold Pixel 4a in 4G and 5G versions in different markets. This year, the Pixel 5a is expected to arrive in the 5G version only. It is expected to feature a 6.2-inch OLED display with a punch-hole design. Its rear-facing dual-camera setup may include an ultrawide lens. For security, it may feature a traditional fingerprint sensor on the back panel. It may command a costlier price tag than the Pixel 4a.

When the rumor mill claimed that the Google Pixel 5a had been canceled because of the global chip shortage, Google debunked the rumor by saying that it will be debuting around the same time frame as the Pixel 4a. Now, a fresh report by Bloomberg claims that the Pixel 5A will be releasing in August.

The report also claims that the Pixel 5A will be launching and releasing in August. The predecessor Pixel 4a was announced on Aug. 3 and it went on sale on Aug. 20 in multiple markets. Previous reports have claimed that Google will be releasing the Pixel 5a in limited markets such as the U.S. and Japan.

Reports have claimed that the Pixel 5a may not be a major upgrade over the Pixel 4a 5G. It is speculated that the new handset will be fueled by the Snapdragon 765G chipset, which was previously seen on the Pixel 4a 5G and Pixel 5 smartphones. The company is unlikely to release a 4G edition of the Pixel 5a.

The CAD renders of the Pixel 5a that appeared earlier this year revealed that it will be sporting a 6.2-inch OLED screen with a punch-hole design. The device is expected to feature a squarish module for its LED flash-assisted dual-camera setup. It is also expected to feature a traditional fingerprint scanner.

In related news, Google is expected to launch the Pixel 6 and Pixel 6 Pro smartphones in October this year. These phones are rumored to be driven by Google’s custom-made chip that may offer performance similar to Snapdragon 870. The Pixel Watch is also expected to go official alongside the Pixel 6 series.

Previously, the company launched only the Pro version of the predecessor in the country back in July. In any case, the Reno5 Pro, if launches, should finally bring the 5G-support to the Reno series in India. Let’s wait for more details as we get closer to the launch.

OPPO’s Reno series has gotten a refresh six months after the Reno4 series was announced in China. The new Reno5 series was announced in China today and it comes along with a pro model.

Reno5 Series Design

The Reno5 series comes with an upgraded design language. OPPO says the new patented process uses a pyramid-like crystal structure for the glass back panel that gives it an extra shine. They have also added an oleophobic coating to reduce smudges. The Galaxy Dream version of the two phones has a color-shifting feature as a result of the different refractive indexes of the thousands of nano-film coating used. OPPO has also added a fluorescent coating to the top of the phone and the camera housing which absorbs light and then glows in the dark.

Both phones are also light and thin. The Reno5 is 172 grams with a thickness of 7.9mm while the pro model is 173 grams but is thinner at 7.6mm. The Reno5 and Reno5 Pro will be available in Galaxy Dream, Aurora Blue, and Moonlit Night color variants.

Reno5 5G Specs

The Reno5 has a flat 6.43-inch OLED screen with a 2400 x 1080 resolution. The display has a 90Hz refresh rate and a 180Hz touch sampling rate. It has a pixel density of 410 PPI and a peak brightness of 750 nits. There is a hole at the top left corner of the screen for the front-facing camera.

The standard model comes with the same Snapdragon 765G processor as its predecessors – the Reno4 5G and the Reno4 Pro 5G. Buyers will be able to pick up the phone in two configurations – an 8GB RAM version with 128GB of storage and a 12GB RAM version with 256GB of storage. The storage type is UFS 2.1 (dual lane) and there is no support for expansion.

There are four rear cameras on the back of the phone, though we are sure only two of them will get much use. The primary camera is a 64MP f/1.7 sensor with 6P Lens and it comes along with an 8MP f/2.2 ultrawide angle camera, a 2MP f/2.4 macro camera, and another 2MP f/2.4 camera for capturing depth details. The selfie camera is a 32MP f/2.4 sensor. There is no OIS but OPPO claims its electronic image stabilization does a good job.

There are a number of interesting camera features bundled with the phone. You can record from both the front and rear cameras at the same time; live HDR for videos even when recording at night; bokeh videos; and a professional portrait photo tool.

The Reno5 5G has a 4300mAh battery and supports 65W SuperVOOC 2.0 fast charging. It is also backward compatible with SuperVOOC and VOOC 3.0 and has support for 18W power delivery and Quick Charge.

Other features are an in-display fingerprint scanner, support for face unlock, dual SIM card (nano only), Bluetooth 5.1, USB-C, and an audio jack. OPPO ships it with ColorOS 11 based on Android 11.

OPPO specifically states on the website that the Reno5 phones use displays sourced from different manufacturers, so there may be a difference in the displays of different units due to the varying manufacturing technology. The display supplier is stated on the retail box of the phone.

Unlike the Reno4 Pro 5G that has a Snapdragon 765G processor, the Reno5 Pro 5G is powered by MediaTek’s Dimensity 1000+ processor. It comes in the same configuration as the standard model.

For cameras, OPPO has carried over the exact configuration from the standard model but the 32MP camera has a slightly lower field of view. You also get practically the same camera features.

The Reno5 Pro has multifunctional NFC, Wi-Fi 6, Bluetooth 5.1, and a USB-C port but skips the audio jack. It has dual SIM support and runs Android 11 out of the box. Its battery capacity is 4350mAh with 65W SuperVOOC 2.0 fast wired charging along with support for the other charging protocols as the standard model.

OPPO will be announcing the Reno5 series in China in the coming month. The lineup reportedly includes three handsets such as the Reno5, Reno5 Pro, and Reno5 Pro+. These monikers are not official yet. A tipster has claimed that the global launch of the Reno5 series is also nearing. He also shared key details of the global editions of the Reno5 models.

Leakster Chun has claimed that the Reno5 series will go official earlier than expected in December or January. The Reno5 will be available in 4G and 5G versions. The 4G model will have the Snapdragon 720G along with 1^st generation SuperVOOC 50W, whereas the 5G edition will be driven by the Snapdragon 765G and it will support 2^nd generation SuperVOOC 65W.

The leak further reveals that the Reno5 Pro and Reno5 Pro+ will not be available in the 4G version in the global markets. While the Chinese edition of the Reno5 Pro is expected to arrive with Dimensity 1000+, its global variant will have the Snapdragon 765G SoC.

The OPPO Reno5 Pro+ will be a flagship phone featuring the unannounced Snapdragon 870 (or 865 Ultra) chipset. It will borrow the Sony IMX689 48-megapixel sensor that was made available on the Find X2 and OnePlus 8 Pro. The Reno5 Pro+ will remain exclusive to the Chinese markets.

The tipster added that the reason why OPPO is aiming for an early global release is that it wants to increase the sales of the Reno5 series during the upcoming Lunar New Year in many Southeast Asian countries. It appears that Samsung had also applied the same strategy last year when it introduced the Galaxy A71 and Galaxy A51v phones in December.

According to the tipster, the Reno5 series is not a major upgrade over the Reno4 series since both have almost the same design language and specifications.  Instead of a dual selfie camera found on the Reno4, the Reno5 has a single camera hole for 44-megapixel selfie snapper. Also, the main rear camera on the Reno5 will be upgraded to 64-megapixel.
