• Pixel 5 specs leaks claim the phone will not feature the same high-end Snapdragon 865 processor that powers the Galaxy S20 and OnePlus 8.
• The Snapdragon 765 will not just be inferior to the iPhone 12 when it comes to performance, but it'll probably be slower than the Pixel 4's Snapdragon 855.
• This might be the first new Google phone that's not better in every way than its predecessor, and the first not to deliver better performance.
