Google Pixel 5a 5G

Google Pixel 5a 5G is priced at Rs. 33,400 for the sole 6GB RAM + 128GB storage model that is offered in a single color called Mostly Black. It is available for pre-order in the US and Japan, the only two countries where it will be sold. The phone will go on sale starting August 26.

The Pixel 4a 5G is priced at Rs. 37,100 making the newer improved model roughly Rs. 3,700 cheaper. The Pixel 4a 5G also did not come to the Indian market.

Google Pixel 5a 5G specifications:

Pixel 5a 5G runs Android 11 and features a 6.34-inch full-HD+ (1,080x2,400 pixels) OLED display with a 60Hz refresh rate, a 20:9 aspect ratio, a 413ppi pixel density, and HDR support. The display is slightly larger than the Pixel 4a 5G's 6.2-inch display. The new phone is powered by the same Qualcomm Snapdragon 765G SoC paired with an Adreno 620 GPU. It packs 6GB of LPDDR4x RAM and 128GB of storage.

The Pixel 5a 5G has pretty much the same dual-rear camera setup as the Pixel 4a 5G with a 12.2-megapixel primary sensor that has an f/1.7 lens and a 16-megapixel sensor with an f/2.2 ultra-wide-angle lens. The difference is that the ultra-wide shooter on the Pixel 5a has a slightly wider field-of-view (FoV) at 118.7 degrees compared to 117 degrees on the Pixel 4a 5G. Another difference is that the laser autofocus has been removed in the Google Pixel 5a 5G. At the front, there's the same 8-megapixel selfie shooter with an f/2.0 aperture housed in a hole-punch cutout located at the top left corner of the display.

Google made the Pixel 6 series official earlier this month by showing off the design and some of the specifications. Now, a report by The Verge citing Google states that the Pixel 6 series will not come with a charger in the box. Google has reportedly said that the Pixel 5a 5G will be the last phone to include a charger, saying that most people already have a USB-C charging brick.
