Google Japan's Twitter business relationship accidentally posted a tweet of the Google Pixel v, revealing the phone's pattern and its price mere days before its official reveal.

Much like a lot of other leaks have revealed, this accidental post shows how the Pixel 5 will employ a punch-hole selfie camera to deliver a near bezel-less display. In that location are still noticeable bezels effectually the phone'south brandish, thought to measure in at around 6 inches, unlike the slick curved display edges found on the likes of the Samsung Galaxy Note twenty Ultra.

This gives the Pixel 5 the same utilitarian design every bit the Pixel 4a. And it also has the same unfussy design DNA of previous Pixel phones, with it expected to accept a elementary rear design with a dual or triple rear camera array.

All this plays into the idea that the Pixel 5 will be less of a flagship telephone than it once was, equally it'll use a mid-range Snapdragon 765G chip, every bit opposed to a loftier-terminate Snapdragon 8-series chip found in previous Pixel phones. By using such a chip, the Pixel 5 should be able to keep its price below the flagship range of $800 to some $1,200.

And Google Japan happened to mail the Pixel five's toll in Japan, revealing it volition cost ¥74,800. That translates to $700, which is notably less than the Pixel four'south $799 launch toll.

However, this price conversion doesn't accept into business relationship national differences in pricing and whatsoever taxes, so nosotros advise you to take that with a pinch of salt. But the Pixel 5 is expected to be cheaper than its predecessor, and this adventitious tweet appears to confirm that rumor. This cost is also in line with previous U.S.-based leaks, equally tipster Jon Prosser previously claimed that the new phone will cost $699.

In curt, the Pixel 5 is shaping up to be a pure Android telephone that eschews some of the more superfluous features of previous Pixel phones, notably the Pixel 4's Soli radar scrap that gave it a large superlative bezel.

Nosotros are still expecting to see a few clever software features in the Pixel 5 when it gets revealed on September 30 alongside new Nest and Chromecast devices. But with the OnePlus 8T, Galaxy S20 FE and iPhone 12 all launching within the next month or so, Google has its work cut out to stand out among the big fall flagships.
