We’ve already got some nice impressions of the new Chromecast, but you’ll have to wait a little longer for the speaker and the Pixel phones, which are likely to be closer to the launch date. For the US, that will be October 29th. Other countries, including the UK and Japan, will see the Phones land on October 15th.
The Pixel 5 is generally less flagship than you might have expected, coming at a price of $599 at a time when devices are tripping over the $1,000 mark. It skips Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 865 processor, using a midrange 5G-capable Snapdragon 765G instead. Google also removed the Pixel 4’s Soli radar module, meaning no face unlock or touchless Motion Sense controls seen (but barely used) in the Pixel 4.
Google’s head of hardware said it himself: These are phones designed for a period of economic downturn. Rick Osterloh told the BBC it was a deliberate choice to offer 5G-capable phones at “an affordable price.”
Google didn’t see the coronavirus crisis coming. No, the company was informed by the success of its Pixel 3a phones last year. We, collectively, loved them and probably wrote about the middleweight phones with the killer camera a little bit too much.
