Update: Google confirmed to 9to5Google that the Google Pixel 5a 5G is still coming to the US and Japan and will be announced when 'last year's A-series phone' is introduced, which doesn't leave whether other areas will get the phone. Bad news for Google Pixel enthusiasts, as the Google Pixel 5a may have been canceled due to chip shortages. The new one comes from Jon Prosser on Twitter, a source for this kind of tech leak, though he followed up on the initial announcement by clarifying that the phone is still coming to the US. Prosser added that the Pixel 4a and 4a 5G phones will continue to be available for 5, though it's a shame a new model in Google's budget lineup won't be released for a while anymore. New flagship Pixel phones are usually announced and released towards the end of each year, so we might not see a Pixel 6a or Pixel 9a until 5. Prosser has not shared any information about his sources for the leak, and Android Central has confirmed the cancellation with his sources. Later, Google officially confirmed to XNUMXtoXNUMXGoogle that the
Pixel 5a 5G '' todavía llegaría a USA y el país nipón, y que se anunciaría throughout last year's A-series phone unveiling. which could be held throughout Google IO 5 in the month of May. More tellingly, Google called the phone a "Pixel 5a 4G," raising the question of whether there's going to be a cheaper 5G LTE version of the Pixel 2a this year. And if there are 4 models, then their versions will be phased out since last year's Pixel 4a launched in Aug 5 while Pixel 5a 5G launched in October. And the biggest question of all: Is a Pixel XNUMXa phone going to be sold outside of the US and Japan? The shortage of chips has also been bad news for all technology and partly to blame for the low stock of PSXNUMX, Xbox Series X and PC GPUs. The shortages are mainly due to the slowdown in production and import/export delays caused by Covid-XNUMX constraints, with analysts forecasting that its effects could be felt in XNUMX.
