The Google Pixel 5 price just got leaked, but don't fret, your wallet can breathe and your bank account will remain intact.

Google Pixel 5 price

According to Quandt, the Google Pixel 5 will set customers back €629, which translates to about $740 for our American readers. This leak matches a tip sent to German tech blog TechnikNewsNET in early September (via Tom's Guide).

As BGR points out, the Pixel 5 is seemingly not aiming to attract premium-smartphone buyers who often chase after the Apple and Samsung hype. Although the Pixel 5 will have a high-end build quality, the highly anticipated smartphone will reportedly offer mid-range performance with its Snapdragon 765G processor.

Google Pixel 5 specs

The specs of the Google Pixel 5 were leaked by prominent tech insider Max Weinbach. An hour after the tweet was posted, Weinbach corrected his "12MP" camera claims and announced that the Google Pixel 5 cameras will feature a 16-megapixel camera instead.

According to Weinbach, the Google smartphone will sport a 4080 mAh battery, 8GB of RAM and 128GB of storage. The Pixel 5 may also feature a three-camera array: a 16MP, f/1.7 wide camera, a 16MP, f/2.2 ultra-wide camera, and an IMX 355 8MP selfie camera. The dimensions are 2.7 x 5.6 x 0.3 inches. The Pixel 5, according to Quandt, will come in black and green models.

Last week, Google announced that it would launch a livestream event on Sept. 30 to unveil its new Pixel phones. The event will take place at 11 pm PT / 2 pm ET. At this event, we'll know for sure if Quandt and Weinbach's leaked information is true.
