Previously Google confirmed that Pixel 5A will be a mid-range option that is going to be available later this year in the worldwide markets. But according to a fresh report the company is expected to launch the device in August. In addition to this, the phone may also go on sale in a similar month of the launch. However, the past rumours suggested that this time the company might not bring the device to the stores. Reportedly, Google Pixel 5A is said to be announced in August. The device is a follow up of the original Pixel 5, which was launched last year. However, the upcoming devices are said to be low-cost handsets. Another report suggests, that the phone has been spotted with multiple references to the codename “Barbet” in the latest Android 12 Developer Preview that is slated to be used for the models which were launched last year. These references have a model number “sm7250” that is believed to be the Qualcomm Snapdragon 765G SoC which is also present in the Pixel 5 and Pixel 4a 5G.Earlier Google Pixel 5a was rumoured to be cancelled by the company but the company took this matter into its hands therefore by confirming the launch. Google released a statement saying “Pixel 5a 5G is not cancelled. It will be available later this year but will be available in the US and Japan. This statement contradicts an alleged BIS listing which indicated the launch in India as well. Last year Google Pixel 4a and 5 was launched in the month of October. In the same way, the launch of the Pixel 5a is expected to happen around the same timeline or maybe earlier. Image Courtesy: Jon Prosser/YouTubeSeparately, Google Pixel 6 is also scheduled for a launch. The device is said to be powered by the company’s in-house chipset codenamed “Whitechapel” which is also being referred to as GS101. The GS in the acronym stands for Google Silicon. The new chipset is said to be co-developed with Samsung that may share some similarities with its Exynos chipsets. The Google Silicon is also said to have an octa-core ARM CPU with two Cortex-A78 plus two Cortex-A76 and four Cortex-A55 cores. This can be further paired with ARM Mali GPU which is based on Samsung’s 5nm manufacturing architecture.

In a new update, the video streaming application Netflix is now allowing users to watch videos before they are partially downloaded. The partial downloading functionality comes for Android users and allows them to start watching series or movies even before the app has completed downloading. The users can choose to finish the download and keep watching, therefore, improving the Netflix download and watch experience.Netflix’s Partial downloading feature is now accessible to Android phones as well as tablets and is currently under testing for iOS devices, which will be launching in the coming months. Keela Robinson, Vice President, Product Innovation said, “So we know the disappointment when you realize your download never completed because of unreliable wifi or a maxed-out data plan. That’s why we’ve improved the Netflix download experience so you can now start watching The Mitchells vs The Machines or the next episode of Luis Miguel – The Series even if it hasn’t completed downloading. Once you’ve regained a strong enough connection, you can choose to finish the download and keep watching — avoiding those surprise notices that you’ve gone over your data limits.”Prior to this, the user’s were not allowed to stream until the download was complete. Netflix’s partial downloads feature will liberate users to watch the videos in case the download gets disrupted due to poor internet connection. So even if the download is incomplete you will be able to watch the downloaded part while the rest of the part can be streamed later on, when the device gets access to the internet. Separately, Netflix earlier this year introduced Downloads For You, a new feature that automatically downloads recommended shows or movies to your mobile device based on your tastes. How to automatically download videos or movies:
Go to the Downloads tab on your mobile device and toggle on Downloads For You.
Choose the amount of content you want to be downloaded to your device (1GB, 3GB, or 5GB) and click Turn On. The more space you allow, the more recommendations Netflix will download for you.
