[@Skopin]

Very surprising that Google didn't do more with the cameras this year. Dropping the telephoto to add the ultra-wide is baffling to me. Why not have both? The Pixel is the only major phone that doesn't offer both at this point, and after adding the telephoto last year, it seemed like a no-brainer to just add the ultra-wide this year. The drop in quality on images and especially in video when zoomed in is incredibly evident, to the point where this is more of a sidegrade than an upgrade. Overall, I'm really underwhelmed by the Pixel 5. Google seems to have phoned it in this year (pun absolutely intended).

[@jaksahn3370]

They get worse every year. The pixel 1 was the best. I'm ashamed to have supported them this far

[@Quoutub]

@@jaksahn3370 They indeed get worse every year. I have a Pixel 0 = Nexus 5x and I prefer its camera over the Pixel 3a (only in low light conditions I would prefer the Pixel 3a in HDR+ enhanced mode, which is better than Night Sight, otherwise Nexus in HDR+ On mode has more accurate colors, white balance presets and the same dynamic range). Pixel 4 doesn't have HDR+ enhanced anymore, which usually delivers better and faster low light results than Night Sight.

[@Xenaman]

this year pixel is more aimed for people who runs older pixel devices. For a pixel 4 xl owner this year pixel can be ignored

[@Quoutub]

I can not believe how stupid they are. The Pixel 5 turns on Night Sight automatically. On a Pixel 3a Night Sight can take up to 7 seconds in extreme low-light conditions and leads to slightly blurry photos, if you don't stop breathing for 7 seconds. In my case sometimes even the astro mode turns on although I don't use a tripod. In the Pixel 5 youtube review of Engadget they show the Pixel 5 Night Sight mode and I measured that it took approximately ≈6.5 seconds. Really, that's unacceptable, when you consider that you usually even need to take the photo again due to the lack of sharpness. As far as I know Apple's night mode usually takes 1s or maybe 3s. The Pixel 3a's HDR+ enhanced mode is nothing else than a fast Night Sight mode (takes up to 2.5 seconds, or 4s if you zoom) if you use exposure compensation and it produces sharper/better photos due to using a slightly shorter 1/5s exposure time per frame, but the Pixel 4 and apparently the Pixel 5 don't have it.

[@Xenaman]

@@Quoutub you know that the 3a has a slower cpu right?? of course its gonma take longer lol.

[@nickelass427]

Recently, I upgraded from my P2XL to the 4XL and couldn't be happier. I just couldn't justify the $700 price point for the P5. Looking forward to seeing what Google does with the P6 and their in-house custom SoC. Hope the rumors are true. Wouldn't mind seeing an upgrade in the camera department, too. I used to be a Samsung fanboy using their Galaxy line for years, but when I switched over to stock android, as well as Google's optimized software experience, the rest is history.. :D

[@zachm7595]

Maybe this a good in-between year for current users. I keep wanting to want it (though I blame consumerism), but it doesn't have that..."wow" to it, to me. I wish they could've improved the front facing camera a bit. I totally understand the 5 is lightyear ahead of the

[@carlhull7356]

I've got the 4xl 128gb and have ordered the 5 today. But thinking I should cancel the order after watching this. I like the smaller form factor of the 5 but I think the telephoto comes in handy more for day to day photo quality

[@fla_inbox]

You somehow covered the front microphone on the Pixel 4! Doesn't really record like that...is unnaturally muffled.

[@joechapman8208]

It's not. If you cover a phone mic, you get silence, not the noise of wheels on gritted tarmac. There must be better mic AI/noise cancellation in the P5, stripping the sound of his skateboard or whatever he's riding.

[@richarddcrossley]

Thanks for this. I've been deciding between the 5 and selling my XL mainly due to masks and face unlock. Decided I'll stick with the XL even with the sweet BOSE deal in the UK because I use zoom loads more and all ultra wide cameras always look worse. Also the speakers on the 5 aren't balanced and I watch a lot of KZbin!

[@Killafiend]

you didn't go over the Cinematic pan. :\

[@LSOreal]

The ability to snap much faster pictures along with the telephoto is more useful to me than the video. Overall, Pixel 4XL has the bigger display with more PPI, much better speakers (not even close), better processor, face unlock, and Project Soli if you care about that. Very u usual for the previous generation model of any phone have that many advantages over the new one. If you have a 4XL it makes absolutely no sense to spend any money on a 5.

[@juancruz5998]

This is what we were waiting for!

[@CFL-TECH]

Some may find the better zoom to be more important than the ultra wide. I don't know what Google did with this Pixel 5 phone. They removed the face unlock (face unlock has been great), active edge, screen is 6" in and not at least 6.3". Yeah they lowered the price a bit by $100 from last year's Pixel 4, but they also took away some items that some may have really liked. Every year should be an upgrade not a questionable one. Ok you get 128GB as standard storage no more 64GB which is good. A little bigger battery, but I never had a problem with the 4XL battery. You get 2 more GB's of RAM. of course you get 5G but that is still limited to certain areas and not fully really the norm yet. Also what will they be coming out with for next spring or summer will there be a 5A with a larger screen. I guess they made the 4A 5G with a larger screen for those who may have had a 4XL or 3XL wanting 5G. But you also lose a few other features like no wireless charging and no IP68, and two less GB's of RAM. Every year Google is interesting with whatever they do. people that buy these phones every year know what these phones are about, it's more about the software experience and the quick updates and should there be any issues Google is usually on it pretty quickly the resolve. But this year's phone lineup is ore questionable. The Pixel 5 should have come in at $599 or $649 max with the loss of some features from last year's model.

Feeling pretty justified in holding on to my 4XL until the 6XL can one up them both with a zoom and wide angle lens and surely a new camera sensor which improves things more still.

Thanks for that audio comparison at the start! Do you know if the 4A 5G has the same mic improvements as the P5, or is that unique to the flagship?

[@Quoutub]

By the way, the Pixel 4 didn't have a good tele lens (worse than competitors). The lens lacked contrast (black looked like grey) and it was a 16 megapixel 1.6x camera, which was used as a 1.85x 12 megapixel camera. So the difference would be even larger when compared with a high quality 2.0x camera.

Now i'm going to try sony xperia 5 ii instead of pixel 5.

Okay, I need to say that ultra wide astrophotography is really glorious, but! You say you can't use ultra wide on pixel 4, no you can't, but you have panorama mode which I don't understand why people don't talk about it, and even if you don't have panorama mode, you can use front camera as the ultra wide because is pretty much wide. I know panorama is not good as ultra wide and it will take more seconds to take picture, but I need to say that panorama on pixels because of the software are so good, not in the quality, some phones panorama are better but even it's pretty good and no one talk about it. That's my opinion.
