We’ve seen plenty of rumors surrounding Google’s upcoming Pixel 5a 5G phone yet without much substance in terms of specs.

The back of the device features the familiar square camera cutout with what appear to be two camera cutouts alongside an LED flash. We can also spot a trusty fingerprint scanner in the familiar spot and a subtle Google logo near the bottom.
The side profile reveals a new textured power button that sports a mint green color and sits above the volume rocker. We also get a look inside the phone’s guts though no shot of its display. Based on past rumors we should see a nearly identical design to the Pixel 4a series with a punch-hole cutout in the top left corner. The phone is also said to utilize Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 765G chipset.
