The public got a wind of the full specs of Google Pixel 5 ahead of its official unveiling scheduled for Sept. 30.
The public came to know recently the detailed specifications of Google Pixel 5 more than a week before its official launch on Sept. 30. Reports indicated that the full specs leak of the upcoming smartphone came from Germany.
Before the reported leak, Google Pixel 5 is already the subject of countless rumors, though not necessarily about its full specs. Past rumors say that the new Google smartphone is powered by the Snapdragon 765G chipset, instead of the flagship-grade Qualcomm Snapdragon 865 or 865+. This means reduced performance for the smartphone, as well as the absence of mmWave 5G support.
Whispered talks in the past also say that Google Pixel 5 will have a 6-inch, 1090x2340 OLED display with a 90 Hz refresh rate and has HDR support. It is also covered with Gorilla Glass 6. In the case of the recently reported Google Pixel 5 full spec leak, information indicates that the fingerprint sensor of the device is located on the back of the phone and not at the bottom of the display like most smartphones. It also features 8GB of RAM, something which Google has never done in the past, industry observers say. It was also divulged that its base model will have 12GB of internal storage space.
The public also learned many other things about the upcoming smartphone because of the Google Pixel 5 full spec leak. For instance, many have learned there are two cameras on the rear of the phone, one which features a 12.2 MP f/1.7 main sensor with dual pixel PDAF, and another one with a 16 MP sensor capable of capturing scenes in a 107-degree field of view. On its face is an 8 MP camera with an 83-degree field-of-view. The leak indicates that the main camera is capable of capturing videos in 4K at 60fps and 1080 at 240fps. For selfie videos, users can capture such up to 1080p at 30fps.
Another detail that the Google Pixel 5 full spec leak revealed to the public is the battery capacity and power of the smartphone. Reports say that its battery is 4,080 mAh large and charged through an 18W brick. The phone also supports wireless charging and reverse wireless charging. For its audio, Google Pixel 5 features stereo speakers, as well as spectral and flicker sensors, and has three mics. It also has a dual-band Wi-Fi connection, Bluetooth 5.0 connectivity, and supports both LTE and 5G network connections. While the phone only has one SIM slot, using an eSIM allows you dual-SIM functionality.
The final details of the Google Pixel 5 full spec leak show that it is water and dust resistant and its frame is made of 100% recycled aluminum. It runs on Android 11 and its package in some countries includes wired headphones. The leak also disclosed that the upcoming device will come in green and black colors and it weighs 151g with a frame thickness of around 8mm.
