Google launched the Pixel 4a, followed by the Pixel 4a 5G and then came the Pixel 5 that wrapped up 2020 on a good note for the company. After much speculation and rumors, Google has somewhat given away the existence of the next Pixel device –Pixel 5a 5G – by revealing a photo clicked from the upcoming phone. And now, with Google I/O just around the corner, speculations are ripe for an early announcement of the smartphone. The existence of the phone is further substantiated through the statement made by Alphabet CEO Sundar Pichai, wherein he categorically mentioned that significant product updates and announcements are coming to the Google I/O event. The launch of Google Watch along with the Pixel 5a 5G is supposedly the announcement mentioned in the statement. The biggest event that’s sparked the Pixel 5a 5G debate again is an accidentally shared photo sample, allegedly clicked from the upcoming device in October 2020. This came up in a Google blog post detailing the HDR+ Bracketing technology, which reduces HDR noise. EXIF data for the sample photo revealed details of the devices used to click it – which is Pixel 5a. Yes, one sample image data revealed it was clicked with the Pixel 5a, and soon after the photo was circulated in the media, it was taken down from the album. The picture in question was captured from an ultra-wide-angle camera according to the image details. This coincides with a report that claims that Pixel 5a will have a dual-camera setup on the rear, comprising a primary lens and an ultra-wide-angle lens. The camera resolution is set at 12.2MP and f/2.2 aperture value – similar to that found on the Pixel 5. The presence of an image clicked from Pixel 5a in the HDR+ Bracketing album automatically implies the phone will have the feature when it arrives.
