Google removes Pixel 5G country availability list

With the Pixel 8a unveil this week, Google appears to have taken down the “5G on your Pixel” website.

Since the Pixel 5 and 4a 5G, Google has offered a list of countries where 5G is supported. The list was last updated around March to bring the total count to 38. For reference, the Pixel is sold in 23 countries. 

Australia Germany Lithuania Slovakia
Austria Greece Luxembourg Slovenia
Belgium Hungary Netherlands Spain
Canada Iceland New Zealand Sweden
Croatia India Norway Switzerland
Czech Republic Ireland Poland Taiwan
Denmark Italy Portugal United Kingdom
Estonia Japan Puerto Rico United States
Finland Latvia Romania
France Liechtenstein Singapore

A Reddit thread (u/the_john19) points out how pixel.withgoogle.com/5G/ is no longer available. When the change first happened, trying to visit that page — or g.co/pixel/networkinfo — took people to the Pixel Simulator homepage. 

Late on Wednesday, Google redirected it to a support article: Understand 5G compatibility & roaming on Pixel phones.

This page does not have an equivalent country list and just has this line: “Ask your carrier about its 5G area, speeds, and support for your phone model. Only some carriers offer 5G service. Their 5G areas may be in smaller areas than their other services.”

People have long complained that Pixel 5G availability is not universal, with certification and testing presumably holding things back. That remains the case today.
