Multiple sources warn Pixel 5 leaks are a ruse, device still in the planning phase
It’s like they took that grey pixel 4 XL prototype you have and just slapped a 4a XL screen on the front.

the total absence of fresh leaks around Pixel 5 in ages, as @hallstephenj points out, is not about Google doing a better job at locking down leaks.
It’s because Google has not decided what it is doing yet. I imagine the hardware team is in total chaos right now.

Apparently, everything that was decided earlier is subject to change and if the company is still stuck in the planning phase, we wonder if the device will be released this year at all.
The Pixel 4a is supposedly still happening but the alleged release date has changed so many times that we’d rather wait for Google to make an official announcement than add to all the confusion with speculation.
I can say with near-certainty that
— ‘pixel 4a’
— new Nest-branded TV dongle running Android TV
— new Nest-branded smart speaker like Sonos Oneare all coming at some point this year.
I wouldn’t believe anything about ‘Pixel 5’ out there quite yet. Little clarity as of yet.
