Google Pixel 5a leak shows a familiar design

23 February 2021
The phone takes all of its design cues from the Pixel 4a 5G.

Sort by:

I see, so will there be any reason to get this over Pixel 5, 4 or 4a (all of which have been greatly discounted)? The same design, the same display, probably the same camera.. It just doesn't feel like Google is trying to impress their existing and potential customers anymore.

    anotherphone, 23 Feb 2021The back is cute but the chin is still present in 2021 so y... moreUmmm we are talking about pixel not Samsung? Or are we?

      Oh yes, just what the market needs, another big ass phone. It's insane how difficult it is to find decent small compact phones these days. I wonder what would happen if manufacturers started producing one size fits all clothing or shoes. All pants have a 40" waist and all shoes are men's size 14. Would the masses be OK with this? Would they say you'll get used to it with time?

        I think Google's designers should take a holiday. Pixel 5a with the same cameras as the 4a 5g? Must be that they will use the defective 4A 5G units to reconvert it.

          Roshi, 23 Feb 20214a is too perfect in my experience no need to upgrade for nowI totally agree. I've had the 4a for a few weeks now. Absolutely no reason to upgrade. This will be my daily driver til atleast the end off 2022. Perfect phone.

            Anonymous, 23 Feb 2021Google pixel 5 was best looking android phone?? Are you ... moreThe back is cute but the chin is still present in 2021 so yeah no.

            Samsung's department for the design doesn't undestand that beauty is in symmetry. They will probably continue to work on shrinking the chin but they will always make the other bezels thinner than the chin... And that will always be ugly in my eyes.

            Different people, different opinions. You may not care for that but I do. Like I said, I'd rather have thick bezels all around than the chin.

                When you make phones with no bezels .. they all will look alike.

                      I have 4 requirements

                      Good price
                      Headphone jack
                      Good camera
                      Decent specs

                      If it has all these, this will replace my S10e

                        I'll stick with my 4a for another year methinks. No point upgrading especially if it indeed looks pretty much the same. And I can't say I'm all that bothered about refresh rate differences.

                          SePowerOfWiFi, 23 Feb 2021The dimensions seem odd to me. Pixel 4: 147.1 x 68.8 x 8... moreI totally agree. Keep the compactness. One reason amongst others that our team got them

                          Still loving my small Pixel 3 flagship as good as day 1.
                          Looking forward to see what the 6 brings. Pixel is a quality experience.

                            I don't see any reason buying this over the 4a 5G because they are similar size, same built quality, likely similar SOC. They should have made it smaller or more powerful to differentiate.

                              If this holds true I will purchase as a backup to my S21+. My 4xl is getting long in the tooth, 🔋is kind of disappointing 😞!
