It’s getting clearer for the Pixel 5a, it’s only a matter of weeks

Are you looking forward to the Pixel 5a? Here is some news that should make you happy. Last year, the Pixel 4a was pushed back to August due to delays related to the Covid-19 pandemic. In order for the Pixel 4a to enjoy a lifecycle of at least a year, Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman believes the Pixel 5a should arrive as early as August.

Android 12 and the Pixel 5a for this summer?

In addition, this date could perfectly coincide with the possible release of Android 12 in August. Even Google has hinted that the Pixel 5a’s timeline could certainly follow that of the 4a, not to mention explicitly August. Regardless of the date, it looks like the Pixel 5a is a trivial upgrade. Some don’t hesitate to call it a Pixel 4a 5G. This smartphone should therefore have two lenses on the back, a jack, and the Snapdragon 765G chip.

We are a long way from an expected revolution with the Pixel 6, but this smartphone should delight people who are looking for a 5G compatible device without spending too much money. So far, Google has only committed to release in the United States and Japan. However, it’s a safe bet that the Pixel 5a will subsequently be available in Canada, Europe and other parts of the world where Google already offers its phones.

As for Android 12, the update would be particularly expected according to the statement of Dave Burke, the VP Engineering responsible for the Android operating system, on Twitter : If Burke does not give precise figures, the popularity of the beta gives us a big clue as to the expectation of the new version of the most used operating system in the world.
