Pixel 5 - Best phone from Google?

Pixel 5

This is my review of the Google Pixel 5 and 4a 5G. Two of the best phones Google has made in a while.

Worth your Money?

Pixel 5 specs

There are a lot of things which I like about this phone, but there is one thing which I don't. The price! I think this should be a 600$ phone whereas it costs 700$ in reality. I know Google makes a big discount after some time but, I am reviewing it at 700. Now, this phone has a plastic coating but, there is metal underneath it. The phone looks excellent, but it does not feel premium because of the plastic. The wireless charging is working perfectly even with the plastic. The fingerprint sensor is at the best place possible: the back of the phone. But, I wish it had face-recognition.

Screen

Pixel 5 has a very nice screen with thin bezels and the amazing flat-edges. Pixel 4a 5GV has a relatively warmer screen but, it is good enough, Pixel 5 has a refresh rate of 90Hz whereas 4a 5G sticks with 60. Now, it is good to have that, but it is not something necessary in a phone because whenever we are using our phone, we don't actually touch it. For example, if you are watching something, once it starts, you don't really touch the screen.

Camera

The battery of Pixel 4a 5G and 5

Pixel 5 has a good battery of 4080 mAh. It can easily run for 8 hours. The camera on Pixel 5 is also excellent but, I am shocked that the hardware is the same as Pixel 4A 5G. When the first Pixels came out, they were way ahead in terms of the camera when compared to the other phones. But, the other phones have now decreased the gap. However, the new ultrawide works awesome in low-light. The video-stabilization is also very smooth. The performance is decent as well but, it is a step down from the Snapdragon 800 series, and that is why this phone should cost 600$. Now, Pixel 4a 5G! It is a true value king, It is 200$ cheaper with the same camera system and feels more compact but, you will miss the battery on Pixel 5.
