Less than ten months after the market launch and even before the Pixel 6 and Pixel 6 Pro have been fully announced or let alone are available, Google has the current flagship Pixel 5 and the Pixel 4a 5G now officially discontinued. Only remaining stocks are sold in our own store and at partner shops.

The end of the Pixel 5 (test) and Pixel 4a 5G had already become apparent with a lack of availability in the Google Store. In the US, both smartphones are no longer in stock, while in Germany the black Pixel 5 and Pixel 4a 5G are still available. The Pixel 5 in “Sorta Sage” is also no longer available in this country.

Google has officially confirmed to The Verge that the devices are EOL (End of Life) and that only remnants will be sold. Google assumes that interested parties in the USA will still be able to purchase remaining stocks of the Pixel 5 and Pixel 4a 5G for a few weeks after the launch of the Pixel 5a, which is only available there and in Japan. The smartphones are already sold out in the Google Store, but well-known electronics chains still offer the phones.

No successor to the Pixel 5 yet

The fact that Google has at least discontinued the Pixel 4a 5G in the USA is understandable insofar as the new Pixel 5a can be seen more as a successor to this smartphone instead of the cheaper Pixel 4a (test), which is not yet EOL. For the Pixel 5, however, there is still no successor, although Google already announced the first details for the Pixel 6 and Pixel 6 Pro at the beginning of August.

Pixel 6 is back to high-end with its own tensor SoC

The Pixel 6 and Pixel 6 Pro are due to hit the market in the fall and, based on the design shown so far and the expected features, will be back in the high-end segment after the Pixel 5 was Google's flagship, but belonged to the upper middle class . In the Pixel 6 family, Google will use its own Tensor SoC instead of a processor from Qualcomm for the first time. Details about the Google chip are still pending. It is already known that the Pixel 6 Pro will have a 6.7-inch QHD + display with 120 Hz and the Pixel 6 will come with a 6.4-inch FHD + display with 90 Hz. In the Google Store, the company has already revealed that there will be three color variants each. The Pixel 6 will be available in red, green and black by autumn, while the large Pixel 6 Pro will be available in gold, white and black.
