Google Pixel 5 and Pixel 4a 5G pass through the FCC ahead of launch

The Google Pixel 5 and Pixel 4a 5G are another step closer to launch.

Google could be planning to announce the Pixel 5 and Pixel 4a 5G in around one month, but before they do, both devices appear to have passed through the FCC.

Four FCC listings belonging to Google devices have popped up today (1, 2, 3, 4). There are two groups of model numbers: GTT9Q, G5NZ6, and GD1YQ, which are likely different versions of the Pixel 5; and G025E, G025H, and G025I, which probably belong to the Pixel 4a 5G because the non-5G Pixel 4a uses model numbers G025J, G025M, and G025N.

None of the FCC entries come straight out and say "Pixel 5" or "Pixel 4a 5G", but they do confirm that these are mobile phones made by Google.

Both phones include 4G LTE band support for all three major US carriers, plus there's sub-6GHz 5G support included with both the Pixel 5 and Pixel 4a 5G, too. The Pixel 5 does have a couple special features of its own, like support for high-band mmWave 5G (n260/n261) and wireless charging (WPT).

The FCC listings also confirm that both phones will include support for Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, and NFC.
