Google Pixel 5a tipped to launch on August 26, key specifications and price leaked

Google Pixel 5a is now rumoured to launch on August 26 after Google shot down reports of it being shelved. A new leak has revealed that the phone may get official later this month and has revealed the key specifications of the successor to the Pixel 4a. Previously, the Pixel 5a was said to be cancelled due to chip shortage but Google confirmed that it is in the works and will launch in the US and Japan. The Pixel 5a was first leaked back in February when popular tipster OnLeaks published the renders of the phone alongside detailing key specs of the phone.

According to a report by Front Page Tech, the Pixel 5a will launch on August 26 and will be available online and in Google Stores. The Pixel 5a is said to be priced at USD 450 (~Rs 33,394) and the key specifications have also been revealed. 

Google Pixel 5a leaked specifications

The latest leak suggests that the Pixel 5a features a 6.4-inch display with upto a 90Hz refresh rate and is powered by the Snapdragon 765G. It has 6GB of RAM and a 4,560mAh battery to boot. It is said to have the same cameras as the Pixel 5 with a headphone jack and IP67 rated. These specifications are in line with the previous leak from February.

Interestingly, Google has confirmed that the Pixel 5a will only launch in the US and Japan which means that the phone will not be coming to India. This is the first time Google will not launch its Pixel a-series phone in India after it stopped launching its flagships starting with the Pixel 4 in 2019. For what it's worth, India is also missing from the list of countries where Pixel 6 and Pixel 6 Pro are set to launch later this year. So it’s entirely possible that Google may skip launching any of its latest phones in India which could be a disappointment to many Pixel fans.

Google also recently teased the Pixel 6 and Pixel 6 Pro and you can read all about it here.

Garena Free Fire gives players the chance to earn the Blue Blaster Bundle for free

Garena Free Fire is giving players in India the chance to earn a cricket kit outfit for their character. The outfit is called the Blue Blaster Bundle and as the name would suggest, it’s an homage to the Indian cricket team. It should be that the bundle can be earned for free. However, getting the bundle isn’t really straightforward as players will have to go on a bit of a hunt to get it.

Garena Free Fire: Blue Blaster Bundle

In order to get the bundle, players will have to collect tokens and use those to buy the bundle. These include Orange Balloon Tokens and Green Balloon Tokens. These tokens can then be exchanged for rewards.

In order to collect the Orange Balloon Tokens, players will have to complete various in-game missions. But to collect Green Balloon Tokens, players can do one of two things. They can either watch the FFCO Finals on August 6, at 6:00PM IST, and get a redemption code once the Final ends. This gives them 20 Green Balloon Tokens. Or, then can collect the tokens master Match Drop from August 15 to August 16. Players will get one token per match. 

Players will then have to exchange 20 Orange Balloon Tokens and 20 Green Balloon Tokens in order to get their hands on the Blue Blaster Bundle. However, players can also choose to spend a smaller amount of tokens and get rewards such as Weapon Royale Vouchers, Universal Memory Fragments, and Random Loadout Loot Crates.

Besides this, Garena Free Fire will also be awarded to any players who log in on August 15. Any player that logs in that day will receive three Diamond Royale Vouchers for free. It should be noted that these vouchers are times, so they should spend those ASAP.

In related news, Free Fire recently received the OB29 '4nniversary' update. The update brings with it a bunch of new characters, weapon rebalancing, and more. You can check out more details here.

Mi Mix 4 Geekbench Listing reveals Snapdragon 888+ and other details

Xiaomi will present Mi Mix 4 and Mi Pad 5 in China on August 10. The phone is confirmed to run the latest MIUI 12.5 (Android 11-based) and will allegedly include an under-display camera. Ahead of the official unveiling, the Mi Mix 4 showed up on the Geekbench and the listing reveals that the phone will be powered by Snapdragon 888+ octa-core chipset.

Mi Mix 4 Leaked Specifications and Features

The Geekbench listing is for a 12GB RAM variant, but the starting configuration is expected to be 8GB RAM and 256GB storage. 

The earlier set of leaks showcased a secondary display on the rear, but the fresh one’s don’t show any such peculiarity. Xiaomi has always tried to literally stretch boundaries with the display on Mix series phones. This year we are expecting an uninterrupted, high refresh rate AMOLED panel (probably LTPO), with the selfie camera positioned underneath. Yes, the Mix 4 could be Xiaomi’s first phone with an under-display front camera.

On the rear, there will reportedly be a 50MP primary camera, a 48MP periscope-style zoom camera, and a 48MP ultra-wide snapper. 

The Mi Mix 4 is also expected to include UWB or Ultra Wide Band connectivity. We have had UWB on Samsung and Apple devices, and it is about getting precise location data in a secure manner. For instance, using UWB data your car can unlock the exact door that you are approaching or you could navigate to the precise location of the keys concealed under your couch cushion. Other expected features include stereo speakers, a 4500mAh battery with 120W fast charging support, and fast wireless charging. 

We won't have to wait much longer for the upcoming flagship to be unveiled in its full glory. In fact, the Mi Mix 4 is already up for pre-order on select retail stores in China.
