Earlier this week, alongside launching the Pixel 4a, Google teased a pair of upcoming phones: The Pixel 4a (5G) and Pixel 5 it plans to launch later in the fall. Now, a series of leaks have revealed just about every detail you need to know about these devices.
A report by Steve Hemmestoffer (@OnLeaks), who has a reliable track record, offers the best look (in collaboration with Indian outlets, 91Mobiles and Pricebaba) at the Pixel 4a (5G) and Pixel 5 through a bunch of high-resolution renders. Both the phones share a similar, minimalistic design that can be found on the recently announced Pixel 4a as well. There’s a nearly edge-to-edge screen on the front with a tiny cutout for the selfie camera and a square-ish camera housing on the back.
Interestingly, Google is set to bring back the physical rear-mounted fingerprint reader, which falls in a line with earlier rumors which suggested the company will be abandoning its facial recognition radar-based tech. While there’s not much to differentiate the Pixel 4a (5G) and Pixel 5 visibly, they won’t feel the same. The Pixel 4a (5G) will reportedly feature a plastic shell to cut costs and the Pixel 5 will likely opt for an aluminum exterior coated with a polycarbonate material — identical to last year’s Pixel 4.
As per another report by Android Central, the Pixel 5 will feature a 6-inch OLED screen with a refresh rate of 90Hz. It will run on Qualcomm’s latest, 5G-enabled processor, the Snapdragon 765G, and 8GB of RAM. Google is also expected to bundle IP68 water and dust-resistance rating and 5W reverse wireless charging that will allow you to top up other compatible devices by simply placing them on the back of the Pixel 5. Further, it will have a standard camera backed up by a secondary ultra-wide lens.
Although Android Central doesn’t share any battery specifications, a different leak that shows the Pixel 5 and Pixel 4a (5G) in the wild, claims it will have a 4,000mAh pack.
The Pixel 4a (5G), on the other hand, will likely share the same hardware as the Pixel 4a except for a bigger 6.2-inch display and of course, support for 5G networks. Google has already confirmed it will cost $499, $150 more than the smaller Pixel 4a.
Are you tired of paying for streaming services you never watch just to get a phone plan feature you actually want? T-Mobile has good news for you! The carrier is rolling out new plans, called T-Mix, in early November to replace its old Experience lineup with a build-your-own perks system called Picks.
The benefits you choose vary from streaming and gaming to food delivery, AI, satellite service, and phone discounts. But if you are satisfied with your existing plan, you can keep it.
Merely days after the iPhone Duo hit the shelves, images of broken screens on the phone started popping up across social media. Until now, it’s been unclear what’s causing the line of defective pixels that appears vertically along the crease, as well as horizontally, on the phone’s inner display.
Apple has finally acknowledged the issue, which has shown up on iPhone Duo units owned by customers as well as demo units in stores. In a statement shared with Bloomberg, Apple says that not all iPhone Duo units are affected and that those that are tend to show the display fault early on. The company added that users who experience problems with their iPhone Duo display should contact AppleCare for a replacement.
Not long ago, Apple treated independent repair like an act of outright hostility. The Cupertino giant locked down parts with serial-number pairing, while repair tools remained firmly out of reach of anyone outside its authorized repair network. More importantly, the company waged a legal and lobbying battle against right-to-repair legislation.
I've covered enough of these fights over the years to know what a shift looks like. That's why what happened in October 2026 genuinely caught me off guard. The day the iPhone Duo went on sale, what may be the most mechanically complex iPhone to date, Apple pulled off a surprising about-face. It published teardown-style repair manuals for a handful of major components.
