Google Pixel 5 In 2024 Review

[@Mezei7]

If google pixels were officially available globaly, they would become the top 3 with samsung and apple

[@dhanvishyam8386]

Sorry, but that would be a wrong assumption. I recommended pixel to my friends they laughed at me saying that the pixel is bad. I use pixel 6a by the way, they are so ignorant that they think Chinese phones like vivo are better than pixel. The mother of Android

[@Dangg1589]

@@dhanvishyam8386its kinda true if u look at their spec sheet, those phones just smashed the pixel in every aspect possible. The only thing that the pixel is better than those is the fact that it running pure android

[@IceCream-uy4mc]

​@@dhanvishyam8386they really compare it to Vivo?😂🤣

[@1znixs]

i use pixel 8 pro and google has a lot of problems to work with , the slow and not accurate fingerprint , the charging isnt fast as samsung or xiaomi , and the phone doesnt play games at 120 or 60 fps , its just so weak in games

[@HafifSyukra]

​​@@dhanvishyam8386too bad these Chinese phones are sold more globally and more okay after sales support than Pixels.

[@sukehiroyami8846]

Pixel 5 has gotta be my favourite pixel design of all time. Wasn't released in my country however.

[@ImportantTech]

Sadly the same here. But luckily it was not really hard to get here because some stores imported it. I remember buying the pixel 3 but it got a UK charger in the box which doesn't work here.

[@bobdylan6454]

If you purchased the international version from a 3rd party, would it support the bands that your countries networks provide?

[@sukehiroyami8846]

@@bobdylan6454 not relly sure since I'm no tech wiz but I think there's something called unlocking a device to make it work in your country where you have to get a particular device unlocked by the service carriers in your country.

[@plow76]

I love my 5 and my only pet peeve is the under display speaker which makes phones calls harder to hear. But I won't upgrade because I don't want a huge phone and I love having a physical fingerprint reader on the back!

[@afanoflafear]

Not as efficient as the side unlock scanner on the ASUS Zenfone 10 or Sony Xperia 5 V however the Pixel 5's rear scanner is alot better than the digital scanner on the lower half of the screen 99% of Android phones seemed to have adopted.

[@5umukh]

Being a Pixel fan since the 1st generation Pixel phone, I always wished to buy the Pixel 5 due to its compact and smaller size. Nowadays, every smartphone has a gigantic display size, which is uncomfortable to use. I wish this phone had a longer period of Android updates so that I could never exchange it with a new one, haha, like the Pixel 8 series :D

[@ImportantTech]

I agree longer updates would've been nice! Once I upgrade to a different phone, I'm gonna miss the unlimited Google photos storage option.

[@mtd368]

I think, I will buy pixel 8a. because it''s small, same pixel 5. Umh, but I like design of pixel5...

[@joseserrano7052]

I bought one when they announced the pixel 6 and it was bigger... 3 years later and still going strong, can't break out of the unlimited free backup photos

[@tip0019]

@@mtd368 the 8a is only 40 grams heavier 🧐

[@jasmin_bheda]

This was the best phone ever in my opinion.

[@Ayyitsgreyy]

Headphone jack, 5G, beautiful display, amazing camera, rear fingerprint sensor. This is Hands down the best phone I've ever had. Bought it for 130$ Wish they still made phones like this

[@NoName-xp6dc]

it dont have headphohne jack

[@mmrt115]

You sure you had it? It doesn't have a headphone jack 😂

Unless he bought the "5a"?

[@oussama4629]

THIS SHOULD BE THE FORMULA AND DESIGN OF THE A SERIES.

[@ChubbyChecker182]

[@DanniPortillo]

Just imagine a Google Pixel 5 like the iPhone SE idea from Apple with the latest and greates google tensor and all AI technology

[@kushalsaraf4595]

ultimate Phone . All time BEST Pixel phone. so sweet you made a video of it. Nothing beats this

[@ImportantTech]

Thanks a lot for the comment!Honestly the newer ones are in a lot of ways better than this one, but not in all aspects. For example the symmetrical bezels, unlimited Google photo storage, small form factor, fingerprint sensor on the back. But then again, the newer ones have more advanced hardware of course, and newer software

[@afanoflafear]

The only thing which could beat this if Google decided to put a side unlock scanner on their Pixel 9a (similar to what Sony does)

[@alexinkuriakose3915]

Using it for about 3 years now. Good phone, no lag. Everything is perfect . Waiting for pixel 10 and will upgrade 😊

[@szymon308]

I accidentally drove my car over my pixel 5, not a scratch. Worked perfectly. This was my favorite phone, I tried the pixel 8 but it was too clunky

[@sparkiethedragon5164]

Great video as always!! When the Pixel 5 came out, I judged it for how much the launch price was for the package you get. But as time went on and this thing got cheaper, it started to make more sense to buy. I could only imagine if it was powered a higher end Snapdragon chipset. Love your content mate! Keep it up :)

[@ImportantTech]

Thanks a lot for the positive comment! I completely agree. The price to performance ratio was pretty bad when it got released. A worse processor than the 4, no telephoto camera, worse build quality, worse speakers, no motion sense. It sounded like a downgrade to me at first. But like you said: Now they are a lot cheaper.

[@limaalphacharlie]

I’ve got an XS, a 13 mini, and I Pixel 5. I’ve used the iPhone ecosystem. I like it - I don’t love it. But the Pixel 5 and 4a designs just always seem to pull me back.

[@ernestmo3801]

And not only all this, but the unlimited Google Photos backup makes me never want to leave this phone until the day it truly dies on me...

[@jettnerona]

I used to have Pixel 5 which I sold last year. This is a good phone, but it doesn't have a telephoto camera.

[@sarahkiwi_in_cork]

Great review and so helpful, thank you! I came looking to see opinion on if this would still be a good secondhand phone to buy for my teenager and i think it will be great for her as she doesn't want a massive screen.

[@alanwilson1521]

In my opinion, using a smartphone like the Pixel 5 that stopped getting security updates is like driving a car where the seatbelts rotted away. Even if you drive as safe as possible, some knucklehead is going to hurt you. That's why I updated my Pixel 5 with LineageOS 21. LOS 21 security updates stalled for a month after Google released Android 14 QPR2, but LOS 21 got April security updates yesterday. My Pixel 5 fits very comfortably in my pocket.

[@sb17146]

Still using mine today. I don't see the need to upgrade. Camera is great, it's still very fast .. and its small compared to other flagships. I got mine for less than 200 usd. It's an amazing value device.

[@ImportantTech]

Thanks for the comment! I think the same! It still works fine for me so I'm not planning on upgrading soon

[@mirwaishimmat6946]

I got one for 120$

[@tsarli5819]

Just bought one for one single reason: Google Photos uploads. This won't be a daily driver for me, it'll just be an uploader device. I'm going to baby this thing and just use it for that one specific purpose.

[@ImportantTech]

Nice! I was planning on doing the same once the phone gets too old

[@dejeudoruzamfir]

I have a pixel 1 xl just for google foto unlimited original quality.

[@mohamedabdellatif5260]

[@ImportantTech]

Nice!

[@hassanabbas-os2th]

I have just bought Google Pixel 5 😊

[@ninadredij834]

It was a long time dream to have a pixel. I was planning for pixel 4a but got an updated pixel 5! The decision was perfect. This is one of my favourite phones till date. I am a fan of compact phones and in 2024 it was really difficult to get such phones. So I asked my friend to get it from the US( it was never released in India). I just love the form factor , the camera performance. Pros: compact size, clean UI , fast charging+ reverse charging, 90 hertz refresh rate, OLED screen etc. Cons: Video output could have been better, no further Google support. Volume issue while on a call due to the speaker placed under the screen.

[@ImportantTech]

Thank you for sharing your experience!

[@kmnj1732]

watching in my pixel 5 still beast

[@kid1412621]

Used daily as my back up phone. Only 2 things I'm a little frustrated about. Cannot update to Android 15, cannot use passkey

[@yanisff1742]

persons who comes to see how there pixel 8 will look after few years of utilsation before buying need you here

[@Brandon-xp1ob]

I wish they would make a new pixel a reintroduce the rear fingerprint sensor along with the under screen one. Ive hesitated updating my pixel 3 only because the new pixels even though they're nice have just been massive bricks. That's fine if they also offer a smaller version. I would've gotten the 6 but i just didn't want a big bulging thing in my pants(ha ha) but seriously. Make small phones great again

[@kossyazubogu5516]

I just love the phone

[@JF-wp2rz]

I just really dislike fingerprint sensors in the screen.

[@Hejsan1221]

Ima be real here the google pixel in my opinion is the best budget phone very good design and its fast asf

[@andreyk1576]

Have you tried turning on adaptive brightness? Some websites say that manual brightness on Pixel 5 yields ~400 nits max, while with adaptive brightness on it can get up to ~700 nits.

[@ImportantTech]

Thanks for the tip! I'll try it

[@user-re1yu3iq6f]

😮

[@animenimal7026]

Я фанатик pixel😅 Взял pixel 5 по цене 142$, он ещё едет доставкой до Москвы. До этого использовал pixel 3a xl с чехлом Otterbox, общий вес 275 грамм. Повышенная надёжность , но большой вес и габариты. Купил маленькй смартон Unihertz jelly star, от китайский Сунь-Вынь, красного цвета, вес 116грамм, моё зрение слабо, текст не вижу иногда, а так это удивительный опыт. Эргономика смартфона, можно зажать в кулак и он исчезает. В итоге pixel буду пользоваться навсегда.

[@amarsachu4487]

Me too bro 😢 I also need an solotion

[@chaitnayakhandediya8956]

Change the battery from official service centre

[@asianrice02]

Specs are not different that current ones. Wished they support it longer.

[@ImportantTech]

They are different, but if they tried I think they would be able to support it for longer

[@NoSuffix]

I'm using Google Pixel 5 too. The pros are decent speed, battery life, good size (not too big or too small), and very good photo quality. The screen can be very bright at max level. An added bonus is unlimited Online Google Cloud Backup for all photos and videos for the phone. The only drawback I noticed is that it mysteriously consumes 10% of battery during sleep time at night (8 hrs) even if I put it in airplane mode and turn off all apps. My old Moto E4 only drops 1% or less of battery under the same condition. But of course that E4 is too slow and sucks in photo quality.

[@ImportantTech]

My pixel also has fast battery drain in standby. I kinda forgot to talk about that, because I only charge my phone overnight

[@ishu8397]

How much sot i can expect i only use social media

[@Nearnface]

[@ChubbyChecker182]

The Weight (151 grams) is a HUGE and overlooked advantage of this phone compared to new phones in 2024 which are mostly 190-210 grams (as well as them being a lot bigger, whivh is more obvious)... I cant handle the new phones (they are phablets to me, including the Pixel 7a, which ks so heavy)..., gonna keep my Pixel 5 as long as i can, (and will gey the battery replaced in about 9 months or so)... it feels like it is the last Great Android PHONE.

Maybe it's just me, but I feel android phones acts and reacts a little faster than apple's new flagship, iPhone 15 Pro, I have that one and this one and the pixel 5 feels faster in some areas which is weird when the apple phone is 120hz

[@theotherchannel2028]

what is this, this thing had no bezels. when did bezels make a comeback? and why? I can only assume tech downgrade as the reason.

[@ImportantTech]

The only reason I can think of is to make them cheaper to manufacture.

[@sheng21]

yeah 6 and 7 got that tensor fuckery

[@ImportantTech]

Honestly tensor is not bad in my opinion, except it drains the battery fast so the phones need a big battery. So if you buy a powerbank you also need one with a larger capacity which is kinda annoying.
