- Google’s Pixel 5, which is set to launch this fall, will not have the same high-end processor as the Galaxy S20 and other Android flagships, some rumors have said.
- The Pixel 5 won’t be the only new Android phone ditching the Snapdragon 865 for a cheaper alternative from Qualcomm.
- A new report speculates that the Snapdragon 865’s price and design particularities might make it unattractive to some smartphone vendors, including Google.

Google’s Pixel phones are meant to be iPhone equivalents for the Android universe; high-end handsets that are always the first to run the latest Android software. Google made that clear a few years ago when it replaced the Nexus line with the Pixel family. However, Google made a huge change to its policy last year when it launched the Pixel 3a — a mid-range device that wasn’t anything like the Pixel 3 in terms of flagship features.
The same thing will happen in the coming months when the Pixel 4a delivers a less impressive set of specifications than those of the Pixel 4 that was launched in October. But, more disturbingly, the Pixel 5 might be the first Pixel series not to sport the same kind of hardware as the other top Android flagships of the year. But thanks to a new report, we might at least know why this is the case.
