The smartphone's camera will have a Night Sight with astrophotography feature that will help you take better photos of the night sky or the city lights. 

As far as battery and display are concerned, it will have a 6.34-inch OLED bezel-less screen and Adaptive Battery with Extreme Battery Saver.

Google Pixel 5a Case

The newest Google smartphone will come in just one color: black. If you find that a bit too boring and would like a pop of color, you should consider getting a case for your new phone. 

According to a separate announcement by Google focused on the Google Pixel 5a case, it will come in four different colors: Maybe Moon, Likely Lime, Partially Pink, and Black Moss. 

The smartphone case is made from shock-absorbing materials that are also sustainable. Per the announcement, "the inner layer of the cases for the Pixel 5a with 5G is made from 75% post-consumer recycled plastic, and in total, each case is composed of over 34% recycled plastic by weight."

The case for Google Pixel 5a is likewise available for pre-order and is priced at $29.
