Did Google just accidentally reveal the Pixel 5, Pixel 4a 5G launch date?
August 25, 2025
Google launched the long-awaitedPixel 4ajust a few days back and also surprisinglyconfirmedthat the more premium Pixel 5 and Pixel 4a 5G would follow. Now it seems that Google France may have accidentally revealed the date for the launch of the two new Pixels.
A9to5Googlereader from France recentlydiscoveredthat theofficial Google blog postfor the launch of the Pixel 4a also mentioned the pre-order date for the Pixel 5 and Pixel 4a 5G. The mention has since been taken down, but acached version of the postexists and machine translation of the excerpt reads as follows:
Google usually opens up pre-orders for its phones on the same day as launch, so October 8 could be the day we see the Pixel 5 and Pixel 4a 5G go official. It seems about the right time too as Google has already confirmed a fall launch for the phones and it has a tradition of unveiling flagship Pixels in October.
Pixel 5 and Pixel 4a 5G: Specs and pricing
Google gave us a sneak peek of the Pixel 5 and Pixel 4a 5G (see image above) on the day of the Pixel 4a launch, so we have some idea about how the devices look. We also know that the Pixel 4a 5G will cost $499 when it launches, but there’s still no word on the phone specs.
We also don’t know much about the Google Pixel 5 right now, except for a handful ofrumors.
Leaks suggest that the Pixel 5 will not carry a flagship Snapdragon processor this year. We also recently came across some unconfirmed information alleging that the phone will feature a120Hz display. As for its price, a Google surveysuggeststhat the phone could start retailing at $699. If true, Google could have another stand-out device on its hands in a sea full of $1,000 flagships.
