Google Pixel 5 is widely expected to launch later this year, after the company announces Android 11 and the mid-range Pixel 4a next month. The Pixel 5 will succeed final year’s Pixel 4, however it seems the company goes to be taking a unique method right here. Whereas the Pixel 4 was a flagship smartphone powered by the Snapdragon 855 chipset, the Pixel 5 could not use a high-end Qualcomm processor. There have been rumours for the reason that starting of the year suggesting that Google could withdraw from the ‘flagship’ market and can instead deal with the upper-midrange section. Now, of us over at XDA-Developers provide more proof that recommend the Google Pixel 5 will launch with Snapdragon 765 SoC instead of the high-end Snapdragon 865.
Going into the main points, again in January three Pixel code-names, Sunfish, Bramble, and Redfin, surfed on-line. Whereas the previous is said to reach with Snapdragon 730, the latter two have been anticipated to ship with Snapdragon 765. Whereas the ‘Sunfish’ codename was linked to the Pixel 4a, there was no definitive data regarding Bramble and Redfin. Nonetheless, XDA-Developers could now discover references linking the two codenames to Snapdragon 765.
An XDA Senior Member found that the the pre-installed EUICCGoogle APK was updated with references to imminent Pixel devices. The “modem_model_mappings_json” string mentioned the “g7250” modem, which seems to be Google’s codename for Snapdragon 765 or 768G).
Moreover, David Ruddock of Android Police citing sources claimed the Pixel 5 will be powered by the Snapdragon 765 SoC. So, there appears to be a lot of evidence to assist that the idea that the upcoming Pixel 5 will probably be a mid-range phone and never a flagship. It’s unclear why Google is making such a transfer, however the obvious one can be that the company is unable to compete towards flagship phones from Samsung, OnePlus and Apple.
