Google Pixel 5 is expected to launch next month, and leaks around the device have now picked up pace. A live image leak of the Pixel 5 along with the Pixel 4a 5G have leaked online, giving us a glimpse at the back panel design. The Pixel 5 and Pixel 4a 5G look similar at the back, with the latter having a slightly larger form factor. The Pixel 5 is sporting a glittery back panel finish whereas the Pixel 4a 5G is seen to sport a matte white look at the back.

This new live image was leaked on Reddit first but was deleted soon after. XDA Developers managed to spot it before getting deleted, and the report states that a few key specifications were also leaked alongside. The image leak shows the Pixel 5 on the left and a little larger Pixel 4a 5G on the right. The two devices have an identical square-shaped camera module with two camera sensors, an unknown additional sensor, and a flash sitting inside. The back panel also has a small ring outline indicating a rear fingerprint sensor. The Google logo sits at the bottom portion of the two devices. As mentioned, the Pixel 5 sports a glittery black colour finish, similar to what was leaked in renders a few days ago, and the Pixel 4a 5G is seen to don a white finish.

The Pixel 5 renders leaked earlier also suggest a hole-punch display up front placed on the top left corner of the screen. The Redditor also reportedly shared a few key specifications of the two devices.
