Sounds great but I’ll believe it when I see it.

If this is even true, do we have a release date? My guess would be Spring, but that's based on zero info, just a hunch of Google wants to switch the release timing for the Pixel phones, from Fall to Spring

Is this like the Pixel Ultra a few years back?

That would a dumb move to release another phone early next year. Their phone lineup this year was badly staggered as it is. So if true the Pixel 5 Pro would release the same year as the Pixel 6 and the Pixel 6 would receive 1 more year of updates and if pricing is anything to go by, the Pixel 5 Pro looks to be a $999-1099 phone.

Now I like big phones but I would probably pass on a P5 Pro.

I am skeptical as well....But I would buy a 6.67″ display Pixel in a heartbeat as long as it had Face Unlock. Not a fan of the FPS on the back to be honest.

Same. As much as face unlock is often inconvenient in today’s world, I still prefer it over a fp reader. Even better would be both.

Both would be cool. I'm still kinda bummed that the 12 Pro doesn't have a power button fp reader, it would have been so awesome to have right now.

Pretty sure those are fake.

 

[Awesomesince86]

Confirmed this is fake. Everyone with insider knowledge is saying so at least.

New rumors as of yesterday, saying it is real, but who knows

The Google Pixel 5 Pro is purported to be in development

The Google Pixel 5 Pro is a real device, according to a new report. While probably not the device that someone claimed to have photos of last week, suppliers are reputedly already developing panels for something called a Pixel 5 Pro.

If true (and even if untrue) Google’s smartphone biz is a complete crap show. They release the 4, then the 4a almost a year later and the 5 and 4a5g at the same time and shortly after a possible 5 pro. All the brains in the world at their disposal and this is what they come up with? I honestly think they just change their minds wayyyy too far into production and have no vision or direction.

Google is completely lost. Sundar Pichai is not a leader. Someone needs to gut Google HQ and they need to start over, IMO.

That's pretty harsh and extreme. It's like Apple users blaming certain aspects of an iPhone design or the latest version of macOS on Tim Cook. Google is doing just fine, their Pixel phone line is a hobby or side project for Google. Their main revenue source is still their search engine and advertisement. Whether one buys a Pixel phone or any Android phone it counts all the same to Google. Could they have done things better, sure. Is it the end for Google, no.

I don’t think it was harsh at all. I’ve talked about my issues with Google in the past and I stand by my comment. I don’t have time to hash this out, but my Google complaints are accessible through my post history.

I doubt it. Even in that article the one source that says it's in development says it's been shelved and may never actually release. Just said that it was talked about and in development at one point.

So maybe the Pixel 5 Pro was something that was gonna be released back in the Fall along with the 4a and 5G, but it just never happened.

Would be silly to release a new phone named Pixel 5 Pro in 2021, it's the 6 year.

I think Google should move the release date to the Spring, when the new Snapdragons are released, April / May time, and do the new SD888

Yeah, I think that was the plan. Could've been the COVID climate and poor 4XL sales that led them to scrap it and revamp for the 6.
