Leak says Pixel 5 will have a 120Hz display

[Chris Smith]

• A new Pixel 5 leak say the next premium Google phone will feature a high-end display despite its mid-range specs.
• The handset is rumored to feature a large screen with a high refresh rate that matches similar displays from other handset makers, including Samsung and OnePlus.
• The Pixel 5 refresh rate will go up to 120Hz display, just like the Galaxy S20, OnePlus 8 Pro, and other Android handsets.

The Pixel 5 specs will be disappointing, several leaks said so far, and there's nothing to contradict them. Instead of the Snapdragon 865 processor that most Android flagships use this year, Google is going for the more affordable Snapdragon 765G processor. Several leaks mentioned the downgrade, and it's unlikely they're all wrong. After all, the Pixel phones have been the worst kept secrets of the industry in recent years, and the Pixel 5 will not be a well-kept secret either. Google may have chosen the 765 platform over the Snapdragon 865 because the former is more affordable. On top of that, the 765 comes with a built-in modem, while the 865 needs a separate modem chip. We'll never really know Google's motivation, but the result is clear. The Pixel 5 will be more affordable than its predecessor, but it won't match the performance of its main rivals. While the specs may be disappointing, a new leak says Google will go for a flagship display experience for the Pixel 5.
