Pixel 5 will probably sport a 6.67-inches 120Hz display, on track for an October announcement
Will the Pixel 5 get a bigger battery too?
Previously, it was reported that the Pixel 4a (5G) would sport a 6.1-inch display, and the Pixel 5 will feature a 5.8-inch screen. Young has now contradicted this report and he claims one of these devices will boast a 6.67-inches screen.
We have reasons to believe that it’s the Pixel 5. The Pixel 4a (5G) will have a better chip than its LTE-only counterpart and as mentioned before, it will likely get another camera too. For a $150 price increment, we don’t think Google will be bundling in a 120Hz screen too.
Now, Pixel 4’s battery life was not all that great, and 120Hz screens could be a little demanding. The Snapdragon 765G is not as power-efficient as the Snapdragon 865 and therefore, it’s likely that the Pixel 5 will have a larger cell than last year’s flagships.
According to Young, panel shipments will begin soon, and thus, he thinks that the phone will be announced in about two months. This implies we can look forward to an October announcement.
