Google is taking its sweet time with the Pixel 5a launch, but it may just take a couple of months for the mid-ranger to be officially available, according to the latest report. Unfortunately, availability might be limited to a few regions, which is disappointing hear.

Earlier, it was rumored that the Pixel 5a was canceled, likely due to the ongoing chip shortage. Luckily, it did not take long for Google to respond, stating that the mid-ranger launch was more than alive, but availability will be limited to just two regions, the U.S. and Japan, for some reason. While it is not clear if Google will open up the availability of the Pixel 5a to different regions, seeing as how that would be the right move to start pushing more shipments, the chip shortage might have put a halt to such lofty ambitions.
