Alleged Pixel 5 Renders Leaked with Rear Fingerprint Scanner, Punch-hole Camera
Jul. 7, 2020We are considerably far away from aPixel 5launch, which usually takes place in October. However, as is now the rite of passage for every Pixel smartphone, the leaks have started to come in.
There’s the same square camera bump on the back, with the same arrangement of lenses. Most likely, these will be the same wide and telephoto lenses this year as well. However, there is a chance that Google puts in an ultra-wide instead. At least that’s what I’m hoping for, personally.
Other than that, we can see a physical fingerprint scanner on the back as well. Normally I would not believe this, but Google’sSoli based face recognitionhas caused it many problems. Most of them around the fact that the phone couldn’t even besold in countries like Indiadue to regulatory issues. We have also seen reports suggesting thatGoogle will not use Soli in the Pixel 5in the past.
On the front, there’s a single punch-hole camera, and the phone looks a lot like the Galaxy S10e. Maybe Google will implement a standard 2D face unlock that a lot of Android smartphones have had for years.
