A new Google leak lists three unreleased Pixel phones, including Pixel 5, Pixel 4a, and Pixel 4a 5G. Google updated its Camera app for Android 11 Beta, and the code in the 7.5 version of the app reveals additional features coming to the Pixel camera in the near future.
This year’s Pixel flagship will be a disappointing compromise, and that’s according to several leaks that said the Pixel 5 would run on a mid-range 5G processor. The Snapdragon 765G is the same chip that powers the OnePlus Nord, as well as mid-range phones from LG, Samsung, Nokia, and others. The processor will no match for the 865 chip inside most 2020 Android flagships, and it has no chance of competing against the iPhone 11 or iPhone 12 models. As I’ve explained recently, the Nord appears to be a much better choice than the Pixel 5 right now, considering what you get for your money. But the Pixel 5 does have one advantage over most of its Android rivals, and that’s the camera department. The phone is expected to deliver a better camera performance than its predecessors, and a new Google leak indicates some of the new camera tricks that are coming to the Pixel 5 and possibly other Pixel handsets this year.
