While OnePlus’ camera demonstrates a wider field-of-view, the tradeoff is more distortion at the fringes than you’ll notice in the Pixel 5’s rendition. Here, we see a comparison between the ultrawide shooters on the Pixel 5 and also brand-new OnePlus 8T, and it’s honestly hard to choose between the two. I believe this was the right call, as I suspect most Pixel 5 buyers will find the addition of an ultrawide camera more useful than a telephoto - especially considering Google’s Super Res Zoom technology is so effective at achieving lossless digital zoom. Google drew criticism for offering a telephoto lens with a very slight optical zoom advantage in the Pixel 4, rather than an ultrawide optic. The secondary shooter, however, is a new 16MP ultrawide camera, which replaces the telephoto lens employed in last year's version. But the refresh rate on the 4a 5G is capped at 60Hz, so that's one area where Google's flagship outdoes the cheaper 5G option. It's worth noting that the Pixel 4a 5G also features an OLED panel with the same resolution as the Pixel 5's screen. The refresh rate isn’t variable per se - unlike the Galaxy Note 20 Ultra’s screen, it can’t speed up or down dynamically to any pace at will - though Google says the Pixel 5 switches between 60Hz and 90Hz depending on the type of content presented. The Pixel 5’s 6-inch OLED display touts a full-HD resolution and 90Hz peak refresh rate, which you can drop down to 60Hz in the device’s settings if you so choose.

It’s feather-light, too - at just 5.33 ounces, the Pixel 5 is more than an ounce lighter than the iPhone 11 Pro and Galaxy S20 Plus, which you certainly feel the moment you hold and compare. Thus, there is a sense of form triumphing over function with the Pixel 5’s design, though I’m personally not very bothered by that because the result is so eye-catching and compact. You can also swipe on that fingerprint sensor to pull down or withdraw the notification shade.

This probably isn’t a deal breaking proposition for an old-school Android user, though I can certainly imagine some folks recoiling in fear at the thought of inputting a PIN code when their device is lying flat on a table. I am slightly concerned about this coating chipping off in high-contact areas, like around the USB-C port (my Pixel 4 unfortunately fell victim to this phenomenon), but only time and ongoing use will reveal how durable the Pixel 5’s exterior really is.Īs such, you’ll have to live with an effective-yet-dated rear-mounted fingerprint sensor in the Pixel 5. It also plays off brilliantly against the chromed green power button and Google logo on the back.
This is a lovely shade of green with some faint speckles in it, giving it sort of an eggshell-like luster. I especially dig the Sage Green version Google sent us. Whatever Google’s done to achieve the Pixel 5’s earthy sort of finish, I dig it. I don’t know if it’s the most “premium” feeling smartphone I’ve ever held, but such questions are highly subjective. Personally, though, I’m a sucker for unique materials - especially slightly-gritty or soft-touch textures - and I love the finish of the Pixel 5. Some dismiss the matte, almost candied sort of coating Google has employed on this phone as cheap-feeling. The finish on the Pixel 5 appears to have drawn conflicting opinions from various reviewers. On the back, there's a fingerprint sensor and a square camera module packing dual optics - and that's pretty much it. All of Mountain View's modern handsets are remarkably simple and minimalist in terms of design, with small hole-punch front-facing cameras and tiny bezels encircling the display. If you've seen a Google-branded phone in the last year or two, you've virtually seen the Pixel 5. In fact, the speeds I saw were consistently in the single digits in terms of megabits per second - of course, your mileage may vary. That said, I never experienced impressive speeds during my time with the phone, even when I happened to be in range of AT&T’s nationwide 5G network.

Google has designed the Pixel 5 to connect to both sub-6GHz low- and mid-band 5G networks, as well as millimeter-wave ones, meaning that it supports the full gamut of 5G service no matter which carrier you take it to. The Pixel 5 is sold unlocked, where you can take it to any carrier of your choosing, or through AT&T, Verizon, US Cellular and Google Fi. There are two colors - Just Black and Sorta Sage. Interestingly, Google isn’t offering a higher storage capacity version, and the Pixel 5 doesn't support microSD cards to give you more space to work with. The Pixel 5 costs $699 and packs 128GB of storage.
