They discontinued the current models to make way for the recently-launched Pixel 5a 5G and the upcoming Pixel 6 and Pixel 6 Pro. No way in h*ll Google is going to discontinued the Pixel lineup altogether, especially when they have excellent software support. Your favoured Chinese phones won't even be seeing the lights of the new Android OS version because of planned obsolescence.

            Oh my God! I almost cared about this but then I remembered they're only sold in 'Murica.

              Almand, 21 Aug 2021Just wondering how long will this get google software support..Minimum 4 years, 3 years guaranteed..

Especially after they get feed up waiting for months and even full year to get the latest Android version and only be getting that for 2-3 years and then they are cut off. Just because something is allowed to still run and connect to GooglePlay doesn't mean it's great.

                Pixel phones don't have that problem and with upcoming 5 years of software support they'll have no competition in Android market. And within those 5 years, you'll always get every Android update the moment it's out because Google is first party Android developer. All the Chinese phone makers can throw specs at the market, but they'll never be able to compete with first party when it comes to software. And I can just see you typing furiously how Chinese ROM's have so many more features!!!!!1111 NOT. THE. POINT.

                  Looks like the Pixel 6 launch is around the corner.

                      at last they discontinued it. Doubt if anyone was even buying their mediocre phones. Chinese phones have taken over with far better specs at the same prices. Gogle still thinks the software or a custom chip can somehow save them

                            Since google has released google 5a and announced pixel 6 series with no charger stating that people might already have type c charger ( don’t know what would people like me think of switching from iOS to android) why can’t google reduce the price for pixel 5 under $500 or $550 so it can be purchased..

                                Tensor SoC is expected to integrate modem based on Exynos Modem 5123.Pixel 6 may include the Samsung ISOCELL 50-megapixel GN1 sensor as the main wide-angle camera. This has a 1/1.31-inch sensor and 1.2 micron pixels. Samsung also launched the 50-megapixel GN2 sensor earlier this year and Google may also opt for the newer sensor. But there is less chance it will integrate GN2.Most probably GN1 sensor.

                                      DK Lord, 21 Aug 2021Pixel 6 and Pixel 6 pro are going to be awesome. It'll just be another underspecced and overpriced phone that Google usually launches. This year, it won't even have a charger in the box. I'm more interested in the Tensor chip and whether it contains any custom Google parts rather than being just a generic Exynos processor. It does look a bit more competitive than previous year's models but still wouldn't make me buy one. It's not officially available here anyway.

                                        It would be great, if we could get flat screen in pro variant too. Expected launch date(unofficial) is 26th August.
