The Google Pixel 5 may only be an "XL" model, rather than two different sizes, which has been the trend since the inception of Pixel phones

This is according to a Twitter leaker named ImjustsayingJC (spotted by TechRadar), who reveals that the Pixel 5 will have only one size option, a Snapdragon 765G chip and will be priced at $699 He claims to have information

Since this leaker is not one of the more established Twitter technical information sources, his claims and sources must be viewed with a degree of skepticism From the wording of the tweet, it seems that ImjustsayingJC is not completely convinced by their information either However, with the Pixel 4a, Google is using a "standard" 581" device, not one that exceeds 6", and there is only one size option

This indicates that Google may be streamlining the amount of choices for Pixel phones in response to the difficulties that the coronavirus outbreak has brought to the tech company's supply chain And since the Pixel 4a effectively underwrites the standard-sized Pixel phones for 2020, it makes sense for the Pixel 5 to prioritize the XL model

Since the Pixel 5 is expected to be powered by the same mid-range Snapdragon 765G chipset as the OnePlus Nord, Google can serve as the best version of a pure Android phone, thanks to its high-performance but not flagship-grade specs It may just be making a larger Pixel phone that is sharply priced due to its high performance but not flagship grade specs Essentially, it would be a phone that is more premium than the Pixel 4a, but without the extra features For example, the specs and feature-heavy nature of Samsung's Galaxy Note 20 Ultra may be overkill for most Android smartphone users

The Pixel 5 is expected to feature not only a chipset, but also a 667-inch display with a 120Hz refresh rate, 5G connectivity, and a design that could be an evolution of the Pixel aesthetic It will also feature three rear cameras, which will likely be enhanced by Google's smart software computational photography capabilities

If Google can build on the Pixel 4's impressive photography and smooth performance while fixing its shortcomings, such as short battery life, limited on-board storage, and lack of a wide-angle camera, it could be a winner in October, the Pixel 5 will be unveiled, and the Pixel 4 will be the first phone to feature a rear camera, we will get a glimpse of what kind of phone Google has developed and the products that will contribute to the broader tech ecosystem
