The upcoming Google Pixel 5 models will arrive on the market this year, and we can’t wait to see the final result. Google has lots of changes in the plan for the upcoming Pixel 5 series, such as cameras, display, features, CPU upgrades.
However, looking in the rumor mill, it seems that the smartphone will feature a different kind of processor. At the moment, the Google Pixel models feature a Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 8 series chipset; however, the upcoming Pixel is rumored to feature a Snapdragon 765G processor. The rumor has it that the CPU will also get a downgrade and we are here to give you all the details.
Google Pixel 5 CPU Downgrade Details
The upcoming flagship smartphone from Google should have the best processor under the hood; however, based on the leaks, we might look at a downgraded chipset. We expect Pixel 5 to feature the latest Snapdragon 865, but it might come out with a lesser chipset.
Looking at the codenames for the upcoming smartphone from Google, we can see that the Snapdragon 765G is mentioned. That means that the upcoming Pixel 5 and Pixel 5 XL will be powered by the Snapdragon 765G processor. Although it may seem a bit weird, it will all make sense once we get to the CPU change in Google Pixel 5.
Google Pixel 5 Is Using Snapdragon 765G Due to the CPU Change
Without further ado, let me explain to you why Google opted to downgrade the chipset. As a standard requirement for this year, the Pixel 5 will definitely feature 5G connectivity as the rest of the flagship smartphones.
The Snapdragon 865 processor although more advanced, it does not include the 5G fast connectivity in the SoC. Therefore, it makes sense that the upcoming Google Pixel 5 and Pixel 5 XL will feature the budget Snapdragon 765G processor, according to the latest reports.
