Pixel 5 is the upcoming Google flagship device that should be releasing later this year along with the public release for Android 11. Pixel phones are always the pinnacle of hardware, containing the latest and greatest chip along with industry-leading specifications in terms of camera performance as well.

However, if the latest report is correct, Google might be skipping the flagship specs on Pixel 5. Or at least as far as the chip is concerned. But this does raise some more concerns. If Google does opt for an affordable chip, users are going to lose some of the exclusive features that are limited to higher-end options.
