Google also said: The battery can be used normally for an entire day. Or use Extreme Battery Saver mode for two days.
Pixel 5A is the first Pixel A series smartphone to receive an official water resistance rating. With the degree of protection IP67, the phone can withstand immersion in 0.9 meters of water for up to 30 minutes.
The Pixel 5A is suitable for all major wireless carriers in the USA and continues to support frequencies below 6GHz.
Unlike last year, the company will not release a millimeter wave compatible mobile version.
