Google Pixel 5 XL spotted in a leaked render; it has a “unique” triple-camera setup


Google Pixel 5 XL

The last year’s Pixel 4 lineup debuted four months ago in October 2019, the devices weren’t really groundbreaking in comparison to its predecessors. However, they implemented new outstanding camera mechanics. We’re yet to see a new iteration for the series in the form of Pixel 4a, a mid-range smartphone. While we thought that it would be too soon to talk about Google Pixel 5 XL, it is already here. We’re solid eight months before the actual launch, however, Google’s skills aren’t the best in keeping Pixel smartphone under wraps before its arrival. Still, this is a new record for Pixel devices.

Thanks to a leaked render from the YouTuber Jon Prosser of FrontPageTech we got a clear picture of the upcoming smartphone. According to him, he got CAD files for the upcoming device a few days back which were used to create these new renders. Jon states that Pixel 5 XL has three prototype models in development. The design you see above is just one of these prototypes. The other two prototypes have a similar square-shaped camera housing as the existing Pixel 4 series. The new design is somewhat unique in comparison to everything we have in the industry. You can think it is ugly, but it feels more original than all square-shaped cameras we have nowadays.

According to the report, the Pixel 5 XL design will feature the same “soft matte glass back with a glossy camera module”. Moreover, for the first time ever, the Pixel lineup will get a third camera sensor. The Pixel 5 XL boasts three sensors in a module housing that looks like an elongated semi-circle. It’s not the best of designs, but at least the company is trying something different. Meanwhile, most of the companies in the industry are going to bring a square-camera setup in 2020. It can even be the case of the Pixel 5 series if this prototype gets scrapped in the future. Jon states that the design started to grow on him slightly.

Besides the new design, it seems that Google will finally add a wide-angle camera on the new model. It’s one of the big letdowns in the last year’s Pixel 4 devices. We are curious to see the magic Google will do with the use of the new sensors. Especially in combination with the Google Camera app, which can do wonders.
