The Google Pixel 4a may have just been released, but already we’re looking ahead to the next Pixel phone — the high-end Google Pixel 5.
The Pixel 5 will likely offer a number of upgrades over the Pixel 4, including a spec bump, a complete design change, and more. Like previous Pixel releases, rumors about the upcoming device have run rampant for months now, and we have a pretty good idea of what the phone will look like. And, unlike in previous years, Google will beat Apple to the punch in 2020 now that Apple’s September hardware event has come and gone without any word on the iPhone 12.
Here’s everything we know about the Google Pixel 5 so far.
Google Pixel 5 price and availability
We now know exactly when Google will launch the latest and greatest Pixel phone. The company has sent out invitations for its annual hardware event, which is set to take place on September 30. That’s a little earlier than usual — Google normally holds its hardware event in mid-October. The event will also be where Google launches a new Chromecast and Nest Home speaker.
While rumors and leaks have confirmed many other aspects of the Pixel 5, not much has been said about pricing. Flagship phones are getting increasingly expensive, but considering the fact that the device has a Snapdragon 765G instead of a Snapdragon 865, it should end up costing less than other flagship devices.
If Google listens to potential customers, the phone could end up being relatively inexpensive. A Reddit user posted a survey that Google sent around to gauge smartphone prices, and the survey included a phone that fits the Pixel 5’s description and would start at $699. We’ll have to wait and see if the survey is an actual indicator of how much the Pixel 5 will cost.
Google Pixel 5 design
Perhaps the biggest difference from the outgoing Pixel 4 will come in the form of a design shift. Gone will be the oversized bezels found in the Pixel 4 series, in favor of an edge-to-edge design and a hole-punch cutout on the upper-left corner of the display for the front-facing camera. This is good news — the Pixel 4 may have offered Google’s Soli radar tech and face unlock in the forehead, but including that at the expense of a slick design may have turned customers off of the Pixel series in general.
A new leak from WinFuture confirms previous leaks that we’ve seen. According to WinFuture’s report, the Pixel 5 will offer a 90Hz display, with IP68 water resistance. Previous leaks from OnLeaks show a device with a fingerprint sensor on the back, instead of an in-display sensor that most other current flagships offer. Google’s face unlock tech worked incredibly well, but it was clearly expensive and had the aforementioned design issues; it’s sad to see it go after just one generation.
The Pixel 5 is likely to only be available in one size this year — there are no rumors indicating that there will be a Pixel 5 XL. Most information suggests that the Pixel 5 will have a display size of 6 inches, hitting the middle ground between the Pixel 4’s 5.7-inch and 4 XL’s 6.3-inch displays. It’s expected to be accompanied at launch by a larger Pixel 4a 5G, which will in some ways take the place of an “XL” variant this year. That display will likely offer a 90Hz refresh rate, like the Pixel 4, rather than the 120Hz refresh seen on the highest-end phones like the Galaxy S20 series and Note 20 Ultra.
That said, it’s possible that there may be multiple Pixel 5 models after all. A recent leak from Twitter user @japonton shows a Pixel 5 with the model number being listed as the “Pixel 5s.” It’s currently unclear exactly what the difference between the models would be.

Google may be embracing the Pixel series as a more budget-minded alternative for those who still want premium features. According to many rumors, the Pixel 5 will do away with a flagship-level Qualcomm chip in favor of a Snapdragon 765G. In other words, the performance of the phone won’t perfectly match flagship phones like the Galaxy Note 20 — but there’s a real question as to whether the average user would even notice. The 765G is proven to be a strong and capable chipset for most people.
The phone is rumored to offer 6 or 8GB of RAM, a nice change for Pixel phones, which have long suffered from not having enough memory. It should also offer 128GB of storage, matching the much less expensive Pixel 4a but doubling last year’s Pixel 4.
Google Pixel 5 battery
One of the worst things about the Pixel 4 (and even the 4 XL) was the battery life, but WinFuture’s leak indicates that the new Pixel will step things up to a 4,080mAh battery. This should hopefully help ensure that the device has at least a respectable battery life, even if it doesn’t beat other devices in its price range — but given Google’s track record with battery life, we’re withholding excitement. The phone should also offer wireless charging and fast charging, just like before.
Google Pixel 5 cameras
Of course, one of the best things about the Pixel series has long been the camera. That’s expected to continue with the Pixel 5 — though that will likely have more to do with the camera’s software, rather than its hardware.
According to the WinFuture leak, the Pixel 5 will offer a dual-sensor camera, including a wide-angle camera with a 107-degree field-of-view, and an f/2.2 aperture. Not only that, but the camera will reportedly finally support 4K video at 60 frames per second, and a,1080p video at 240 frames per second.
This is an interesting change for the Pixel series, considering the Pixel 4 offered a telephoto lens, and not an ultra-wide one. It would have been nice if Google simply included both, but Google has long resisted adding more lenses to the Pixel series.
Software-wise, a teardown of the Google Camera app suggests that the device may get a new “motion blur” feature, along with an audio zoom feature and the ability to choose the intensity of the flash.
We’ll update this article as we hear more about the upcoming Google Pixel 5, so stay tuned.
