The 5A Pixel 5G has not been canceled due to the chip crisis, and the mid-range phone will be launched later this year - according to the recent announcement by search giant Google.

Rumor has it that in the face of the chip crisis, Google has scrapped plans to bring its 5A to 5G. But in a statement on Friday, a Google spokesman said different news.

The spokesman said in a statement: "Pixel 5A 5G has not been canceled. The phone will be available in the United States and Japan later this year and was announced when the A-Series phone arrived last year. ”

Rumors spread in a hurry on Friday that Pixel 5A 5G has been canceled. But the rumor is not true, that is what Google said. However, the company acknowledged that they are unable to bring phones to a larger range due to supply chain challenges, currently limited to the United States and Japan.

The entire phone industry is facing a challenge in the epidemic. When Google introduced the Pixel 4 last year, they said they were facing challenges in making the phone. Brian Rakowski, vice president of product management at the company, said, "When you make a phone, a lot of things come together that have been damaged by Covid in this case."

One such obstacle was the ban on travel. Google employees could not be present at the factory when the phone was made or assembled.
