That said, the report further says the Google Pixel 5a would be arriving only in two markets, the USA and Japan. "As mentioned by Google themselves, the device is set to launch in only two markets - The United States, and Japan," the report says. That's a pity because the upcoming Google Pixel 5a will allegedly pack several premium features and comes with an attractive price tag.

That said, both the USA and Japanese markets are in demand for mid-range smartphones. Google seems to be tapping into this demand with the Google Pixel 5a. A bigger display, 5G support, and an upgraded camera setup are key features that Google is targeting for mid-range smartphone buyers.

Rumors also suggest the Google Pixel 5a will launch only in the Mostly Black color variant. Also, there will be an upgraded camera setup on the upcoming smartphone. However, the precise details of the camera are still under wraps. Also, Google Pixel 6 and the Pixel 6 Pro will be arriving shortly with the custom-made Tensor chipset.
