We had hoped for it, but apparently Pixel 5a will not be equipped with a brand new processor. Today the developer preview of Android 12 has been released, precisely the beta 3. Many small clues have emerged within the code on the news of the next operating system of the green robot. Together with these, the team of 9to5Google found evidence about Google's new smartphone due out in the spring. Unfortunately, however, these details are not pleasant. Let's go see them together.
Which processor will Google Pixel 5a have? An older generation Snapdragon that we hoped not to see again in 2021
According to the source, within the Android 12 code, the developers have found confirmations on the name of Pixel 5a. Its code name is barbet and it is certain that it will be a 5G device. From this point the developers moved to find out which processor could have integrated the new generation smartphone. Unfortunately, however, the discovery did not produce smiles, but only disappointment: Pixel 5a will be equipped with Snapdragon 765G.
And from poco released it Snapdragon 780G, direct heir of Snapdragon 765G but still Google has decided to use the old SoC. This thing throws even more confusion about the nature of the smartphone to come. We know in fact that his design it will be similar, if not the same, to that of its predecessor Pixel 4a. The question we ask ourselves, however, is: how will Google differentiate this smartphone from the other? Is it just the lower price, due to less processor research?
Only time will tell us. In this regard, we remind you that the smartphone in question should come out next 11nd June.
