Google Pixel 5 leak much confirms it will have a OnePlus Nord-rivalling chip.
A new Pixel 5 leak has revealed further evidence that Google’s next flagship smartphone will come with Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 765G chipset. .
On the AI-Benchmark website, a listing popped up for a device named “Google Pixel 5†- no subtle codenames or model numbers here - and showed off a handset running the aforementioned Snapdragon chip, alongside 8GB of RAM and Android 11.
As such, this listing adds further credence to the rumors so far that the Pixel 5 will use a mid-tier chip rather than a flagship one such as the Snapdragon 865 Plus found in the Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra.
But Google has a lot of optimisations it can do for the Pixel 5 given it’ll be a pure Android phone, meaning real-world performance could be more impressive than benchmark results. .
The Snapdragon 765G also delivers 5G connectivity, so the Pixel 5 should be somewhat futureproofed when it comes to cellular broadband. .
Given Google is likely making use of a mid-range chip, we’re not confident the Pixel 5 will come with any special features such as the Soli radar chip the Pixel 4 sported
