Not quite flagships: Pixel 5 and Pixel 5 XL will not get a top processor

Although now all attention is focused on the unannounced Google Pixel 4a smartphone, which is set to debut

In May, information about the autumn new Pixel 5 and Pixel 5 XL appeared on the Internet, and it was quite unexpected.

No flagship filling

So, in the preview version of the Google app.Camera found references to smartphones “photo_pixel_2020_midrange_config” and “photo_pixel_2020_config”. With a high probability, these are Pixel 4a and Pixel 5, since at one time the Pixel 3a was hidden behind “photo_pixel_2019_midrange_config”, and last year’s Pixel 4 (in the photo) was hidden behind “photo_pixel_2019_config”.

Moreover, Pixel 5 seems to have several versions,which go under the code names Bramble and Redfin (most likely Pixel 5 and Pixel 5 XL). By the way, mentions of them appeared back in January. And their filling turned out to be unexpected - the Snapdragon 765G chip instead of the top-end Snapdragon 865 processor. And although Google has always chosen the best Qualcomm processors for its flagships, this year it seems that something went wrong.

In any case, this is unofficial information for now, so we will wait for new details.
