Google is set to launch its new flagship phone Pixel 5 later this month. According to reports, the phone will be officially showcased on September 25. It is likely to go on sale in the first week of October.

Google is set to make some big changes with Pixel 5. While the phone will offer 5G connectivity, it's said to use Qualcomm's mid-range Snapdragon 765G processor. Until last year, Google has used the top-end Qualcomm processor for its flagship phones. For instance, Google Pixel 4 ran on Snapdragon 855, Qualcomm's top-end processor in 2019.

Another big change is going to be the display. The phone is said to come with a punch-hole camera module on the front for selfies. The display will also offer a relatively faster 90Hz refresh rate. The overall design is said to be very similar to the recently launched Pixel 4A.

What we learned about the latest upcoming Google phones, 6.01" and 6.24". Both rigid OLEDs and both FHD+ in resolution. The 6.24" is expected to be higher in volume.
