Can the source of the images be trusted?

Leaker David Kowalski doesn’t have much of a proven track record at the moment, but in early May the tipster did publish CAD-based renders of the standard Samsung Galaxy Note 20 which so far appear to have been mostly accurate.

His leaks, which seem to have been largely inspired by Steve Hemmerstoffer’s, should therefore be taken with a generous pinch of salt. That also applies to his latest one, which focuses on the Google Pixel 5.

The Google Pixel 5 might resemble the scrapped Pixel 4a XL

Despite the undeniable resemblance with the scrapped Google Pixel 4a XL, the renders visible both above and below allegedly showcase the flagship Google Pixel 5 in its entirety. 

That is made possible by the presence of a 5.8-inch display coupled with uniform bezels and a small punch hole in the top-left corner. Despite earlier rumors, these renders suggest Google is scrapping the Project Soli radar chip and Face Unlock.

Google has also retained the square camera module on the rear and, unlike competing smartphone brands, seems to have skipped a third sensor again in favor of a less versatile dual-camera system.
