Google is reported to working on two Pixel phone series, which will release this year. The first one should be the Pixel 4a series, the successor to the Pixel 3a series unveiled last year, and the Pixel 5 series, which is rumored to launch later in October. Information regarding both the smartphones has surfaced online, and the Pixel 4a is said to support UFS 2.1 storage for faster app loading and files transfer. The Pixel 5, on the other hand, is reported to not offer flagship-level specifications this time around, and it may be powered by the Snapdragon 765G Chipset.
XDA Developers report that the upcoming Google Pixel 4a will support UFS 2.1 storage, instead of the eMMC flash storage found on the predecessor Pixel 3a. YouTuber Julio Lusson shared the bootloader screen of the Pixel 4a. With this, the publication determined that the Google Pixel 4a pre-production unit with Lusson has the 64GB UFS 2.1 H9HQ53AECMMDAR-KEM from SK Hynix integrated. This is a strong indication that Google is making the shift to UFS storage with Pixel 4a, bringing better power management, better read and write speeds, and faster app loading and installation.
On the other hand, 9to5Google has shared some information about the Google Pixel 5 smartphone. According to a 9to5Google report, the latest evidence comes from APK files of an unreleased version of the Google Camera app. The report explains that in the Google Camera app, there’s mention of “photo_pixel_2020_config,” which is most likely the Pixel 5. There’s also mention of the codename Bramble, which was earlier spotted with Snapdragon 765G Chipset. Along with Bramble, Google is working on ‘Redfin,’ which also has the same chipset. Based on this report, Bramble and Redfin are possibly the Google Pixel 5 and Pixel 5 XL smartphones. The major change here is the usage of a mid-range chipset instead of a flagship one.
