“#Nope!] Google\u2019s Pixel 5a Phone May Be Canceled \u2013 Review Geek”<\/strong><\/p>\n

With the<\/span>Pixel\u00a05 out, it\u2019s hard not to think about a Pixel 5a. After all, Google\u2019s previous Pixel 4a might be the perfect phone at a budget price, and a new version should be better. But according to prolific leaker Jon Prosser<\/a>, Google may have canceled the Pixel 5a. But honestly, that\u2019s no so bad.<\/span><\/p>\n

Update:<\/strong> in an official statement to Android Authority<\/a>, Google says the Pixel 5a is NOT canceled.<\/p>\n

BREAKING: Statement from a Google spokesperson:<\/p>\n

\u201cPixel 5a 5G is not cancelled. It will be available later this year in the U.S. and Japan and announced in line with when last year\u2019s a-series<\/a> phone was introduced.\u201d<\/p>\n

The original report is left intact below.<\/em>\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

According to Prosser, Google decided to cancel the Pixel 5a due to the global chip shortage the tech sector is currently experiencing. Development of the 5a seemed far along, as leaks showing the device\u2019s look hit the internet months ago. But those leaks also suggested the 5a didn\u2019t differ in design from the Pixel 4a 5G all that much.<\/span><\/p>\n

Bad news<\/a>. <\/p>\n

\u201cBarbet\u201d (Pixel 5A) has been canceled. \ud83d\ude1e<\/p>\n

I\u2019m told it\u2019s due to the chip shortage, and as of this morning, it\u2019s not moving forward.<\/p>\n

Pixel 4A and 4A 5G will continue to be sold throughout 2021.<\/p>\n

\u2014 Jon Prosser (@jon_prosser) April 9, 2021<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

And that\u2019s not a surprise. The Pixel 4a and the 4a 5G phones are already excellent. While we questioned the need to push for 5G instead of other improvements in the follow-up, the 5G rollout marches on, and 5G radios are more useful every day.<\/span><\/p>\n

As it stands, the two phones are hard to beat even still at their current prices. The latter offers 128 GBs of storage, Google\u2019s excellent camera software (and other exclusive customizations), a rear fingerprint sensor, and an honest-to-goodness headphone jack for $500. Updated chips would be nice, but they just don\u2019t exist.<\/span><\/p>\n

Of course, Prosser\u2019s information could be wrong. It wouldn\u2019t be the first time. Or Google could change its mind if it manages to overcome the chip shortage somehow. Nothing\u2019s set in stone until Google says so. And even then, the company could change its mind. But for now, if you had your heart set up on a Pixel 5a, maybe don\u2019t get your hopes up.<\/span>\n<\/div>\n
