INSUBCONTINENT EXCLUSIVE:
It's going to be a long wait for the Google Pixel 5 release, but that just means that the search engine giant has time to retool
While Google surprised everyone with the decidedly mid-range Pixel 3a and 3a XL, all eyes were on the Pixel 4 and 4 XL phones
shortfalls give us ideas for what we'd like to see in the Google Pixel 5, and since there aren't any concrete leaks or rumors about the
upcoming Pixel 5 devices just yet, we've taken this opportunity to make a wish list for Google's next flagship smartphone.The Pixel 4 and 4
XL were popular devices, but didn't get quite the enthusiastic welcome of the Pixel 3 devices, so the upcoming phones could be Google's
opportunity to wow buyers who could benefit from what Google does best
Read on to discover where we think the Google Pixel 5 could succeed.Cut to the chaseWhat is Google Pixel 5? Google's next full-featured
flagship smartphoneWhen is the Google Pixel 5 launch date? Likely October 2020How much will Google Pixel 5 cost? The price may be around
Pixel 4 devices are still fresh in our mind (and hands), so it's still a bit early to assert with confidence when the Pixel 5 release date
that point in 2020, given every previous flagship Google Pixel has launched in October
It's unclear when: the first three Pixel phones were unveiled in the first week or so of the month, while the fourth came out at the end
The phones have been slowly climbing in price, up from above-mid-range territory to true flagship pricetags, and Google seems to be pitching
its flagship phones as equal to that tier - so expect them to keep apace with rising flagship costs, too.Of course these are both guesses at
this point, and when we hear some concrete leaks we'll update this article.What we want to see in the Google Pixel 5The Google Pixel 4
refined on its predecessor, but it left a lot to be desired in certain very obvious areas (read: The Pixel 5 battery must improve)
But there are also features and perks Google still hasn't put into its flagship phone
Here's everything we want to see in the Google Pixel 5.1
Expand the Google Pixel 5 batteryWill the Google Pixel 5 battery life improve? (Image credit: Future)By far the biggest gripe about the
previous Google Pixel phone was its short battery life
While capacity isn't necessarily indicative of how long it takes for the percentage to tick to zero, the 2,800mAh battery is small by 2019
capacity, but even that lasted a bit more than a day
If Google wants to play with the big phone boys, it has to keep up with the 4,000mAh-and-greater batteries out there.2
Bring back the fingerprint scanner(Image credit: Future)The Google Pixel 4 has no rear-mounted fingerprint scanner like the Pixel 3, nor
does it sport an in-screen finger sensor like many premium smartphones as a backup biometric
into their phone until it unlocks
In the Pixel 5, we'd prefer both facial recognition and a physical or screen-mounted fingerprint sensor
Heck, just put a button on the back - we're not picky
We just want to be convenienced.3
Add an ultrawide lens to the Pixel 5(Image credit: Future)Google, we come on bended knee
Make like every other Android flagship in 2019 and give us an ultrawide lens on the Google Pixel 5.The addition of a telephoto lens was very
welcome, justifying a lot of hopes that a second lens would enhance the Pixel's portrait photography and expand its versatility
But this could be so much better, and give so much more range, with an ultrawide camera
We can, and will, still dream.4
Give the Pixel 5 a microSD slot(Image credit: Future)A minimum 64GB of storage expandable only up to 128GB? Is this a joke? Google's
not-so-subtle nudging for users to offload their storage to the cloud is pretty egregious
People store locally for reasons - especially when they don't have reliable signal
It's frustratingly limited not to cheaply expand what's typically the easiest auto-include in an Android smartphone.Truthfully, we'll doubt
But there's ample reason to desire a microSD card slot.5
Stick with the weird design(Image credit: Future)The Google Pixel 4 smartphones sure do look a bit odd compared to its dual-finish,
They're bare-backed except for a questionably stylish camera block, with a matte glass finish encased with a rubber frame around the edges
All in all, the Pixel 4 devices are far from 'conventional' Android phones - far from the nearly full-screen sleek flagship phones put out
by Samsung or Huawei, but darn if they aren't unique and particular in a market of gleaming black rectangles.More Google Pixel 5 leaks and
newsCheck back for more Google Pixel 5 news and leaks, as clearly we're a bit early into the process to see anything concrete
That should change over the next few months and maybe even weeks, as manufacturing of Google Pixel 5 prototypes commences.Google, last year,
actually provided its own 'leak' of the Pixel 4 in shadow in June, so we can keep our fingers crossed that it spoils its own surprise when
Stay tuned for more updates as that happens.Q5dsTznwi4AZBpZLxkFak4.jpg?#
