Last year, Google announced two Pixel 4a devices – a 4G version and a 5G version with a 5G suffix in its name. This year, only the latter will be getting a successor and it should arrive as the Pixel 5a 5G.A report from April said the Pixel 5a 5G will have the same Snapdragon 765G chipset present in the Pixel 4a 5G and the Pixel 5 released last year. Now a new leak says that won’t be the case.

According to the Indian blog, Trak, the Pixel 5a 5G will drop the Snapdragon 765G for the Snapdragon 750G. One of the key differences between the two chipsets is that the Snapdragon 750G is built on a slightly larger node (8nm) than the Snapdragon 765G (7nm). Another major difference is the CPU. The Snapdragon 750G has 2x Cortex-A77 cores clocked at 2.2GHz while the Snapdragon 750G has 1x Cortex-A76 core at 2.4GHz and 1x Cortex-A76 core at 2.2GHz. The remaining six cores on both chipsets are Cortex-A55 cores clocked at 1.8GHz.

As you can see, while the Snapdragon 750G has a larger node, its CPUs are more powerful. On the other hand, the Snapdragon 765G has a smaller node size for better efficiency and power consumption but less powerful cores.

 

The source also mentions that the phone will have 6GB of RAM and drop the slower UFS 2.1 storage of its predecessor for the much faster UFS 3.1 type. So you should see an improvement in speed. You still get 128GB and it is non-expandable. Other features mentioned are a slightly smaller 3840mAh battery with support for 20W fast charging, the same 6.2-inch OLED screen as the Pixel 4a 5G, and dual rear cameras.

Seeing as there is no evidence of the specs, most especially the chipset, we advise our readers to take it with a pinch of salt. The Pixel 5a 5G isn’t expected to arrive until August and there is a possibility we may see more concrete leaks before then.
