I still don't understand what the hell is the usefulness of 5G over 4.5G(LTE) for a medium range smartphone and the average user other than jacking up the price and killing the battery.
Just imagine 2020 medium range smartphone with last year 855 (non plus) and with the 50$ saved invested in decent main camera setup and battery.

    Instead of trying to break into the hardware market, why not focus on the timely updates for ALL Android devices like what Microsoft has done to Windows 10? Buying an expensive smartphone with 2 years only updates is getting costly and tiresome. The current Android model is very broken to be honest.

        Ze, 03 Aug 2020You can never compare a Chinese phone brand with a nexus. P... moreyou're right. More often the Chinese one would be better minutes direct Google support... which has its benefits but weaknesses as well.

                Marduch, 03 Aug 2020Haha, this Pixel 5 5G is the originaly intended 4 XL. Do you mean 4a XL?

                    My hopes:

                    2K@90Hz refresh rate 6.5" P-OLED panel
                    Return of symmetrical bezel for the return of front-facing stereo speakers
                    4,500mAH battery at least
                    Snapdragon 768G (at least it's cheaper that the 865)
                    Triple 16MP camera in the back (Ultrawide, regular, telephoto)
                    Dual selfie cam on the bezel (16MP with ToF sensor)
                    Return of the Headphone jack
                    21W wired charging at least
                    8GB RAM/256GB ROM (LDDPR5, UFS 3.0 at least)

                    At MAX for $800. I think that'd be reasonable for all this.

                      too much delayed, expensive. i'd settle for Oppo a72 5G
                      less the 300£, dualsim, dedicated card, 3.5" stereo slot, etc..

                        Hopefully, the rumored Pixel 5 turns out to be Pixel 4A 5G, while Pixel 5 actually uses a flagship SoC.

                            350$ for last year's chipset, surely they have promised 3 years of update but that processor wont be capable to handle os till then only way will be security updates or SW features cut from OS.

                            Google never gets the formula right whether its flagship or midrange. They should have stuck with 3rd party manufacturers like good old Nexus days.

                              150USD more for 4A means I don't need 5G. Simple for me.
                              If I need 5G I would buy something much better than Pixel 4A

                                  If you compare the camera bumps you would see they are the same , so in pixel 4a 5g there will be at least 2 camera . probably a wide and a telephoto .
                                  It would be a great phone just if the price were lower(some thing like 399$) .
                                  Hope that none of them repeat the past mistakes.

At this price point, it's a stone throw away from the OnePlus Nord, which is besides the camera probably a better phone in every way.
