Had a Pixel XL for 4 years, upgraded with Pixel 5. Pros in order of importance : - amazing os and experience. - battery life 1-2 days ! - compact and light (I was a bit sad the screen was almost smaller then my previous but actually enjoy the lightness and feel in one hand). - great screen. - great camera. Cons : - Speaker is terrible... - no XL option. - no face unlock.

[@Sharky165]

Good & helpful feedback. 👍🏻 I’ve had my Pixel XL for a bit over 2 years, and am looking to upgrade...speaking to your Cons, I hands-on compared the Pxl 5 and 4a5G extensively at BestBuy, and decided I’ll be going with the latter if I buy a 2020 Pixel. The slightly “XL” size of the 4a5G is better for me, and its speakers are much louder than the Pxl 5’s. Also, I don’t see any material difference in the display Refresh rate (perhaps it’s most evident in something like gaming ?), and I feel that 6 GB of RAM is very adequate to run stock Android for the foreseeable future. In the end, it boils down to that I’m willing to “trade” wireless charging & an IP rating, for a headphone jack, lower price, and the aforementioned larger display and better speakers. The Pxl 5 is no doubt the nicest current Pixel, but I see it as a “tricked-out” 4a and a bit overpriced. BTW/FWIW, the Pixel XL never had dedicated facial recognition like the 4/4XL. So I assume you’re referring to Trusted Face, which was a cool & handy but not secure software-based solution, and (sadly) has been gone for over a year now...😩

[@Saurabh-hx1yp]

You didn't talk much about the screen quality, brightness and how it compares with iPhones and Samsung's. Hopefully you can respond to this :) thank you

[@christo-t7e]

I would like to here about this actually , main concerns for me and how bad the speaker quality is and if the screen is as dim as the 4xl ,the 4xl had poor brightness.

[@ThanhNguyen-xb9iu]

As an Pixel 5, iphone xr, samsung s20 owner, i like the pixel 5 the most, best overall phone. Display is great, smooth, animations are on point. IOS-level stability and responsiveness. Dont let the hardware number fool you. I used to be skeptical about the average chip(sd 765g) on the pixel 5. But i changed my mind after actually using it.

[@christo-t7e]

@@ThanhNguyen-xb9iu I got the S20 fe 5g and pixel 5 and although I really like the pixel 5 ( in built speaker sounds a bit tinny at the top though ) I keep going back to the Fe and struggle to get back on the pixel 5 unless I want to take good photos .

[@ThanhNguyen-xb9iu]

@@christo-t7e for me its opposite, i am kind of in love with the uni bezel size all around which cant be found in any other phone. Its true that the speaker in s20 is better than pixels. But i am now a fan of pixel software experience( pixel 5 is my first pixel). It takes the best parts of android(open) and ios( stability, responsiveness). One ui 3.0 in s20 is much better now but i still find it not in the same level with pixel. Just personal view. :)

[@christo-t7e]

@@ThanhNguyen-xb9iu yeah I understand ,I can change my mind daily between the two preferring one to the other depending on how I feel lol. I just seem to be doing a lot of multi tasking ,editing ,using the side panel to extract text and pin to screen on the S20 while I'm at home . I do like the design of the pixel it's very nice and I don't know if you know but if you download an app called side squeeze you can get squeeze for assistant back which is a fantastic feature . The app doesn't take up battery or anything . I do wish the screen was brighter on the pixel tho , 25 percent on my Samsung equals around 75 percent brightness on the pixel.

[@mr.m348]

I'm watching this on my pixel 3. I really love this phone had it for about 2 years and it's the best phone I've ever had. I'm scared to upgrade though because I'm really comfortable with this phone.

[@pidgeo202]

I just gave my pixel 3 to my girlfriend since I upgraded to the pixel 5. Still love the pixel 3. theyre quite similar in many ways. same size n very similar feel in hand. pixel 5 has way better battery life tho, that's the main upgrade imo. I don't find the 90hz screen to be hugely noticeable.

[@sammariofan]

Same here man. This is my first phone that works wonderfully even on the third year in. I'm so happy with the pixel. I'm waiting until the 6 though, I don't see much reason to upgrade just yet. The camera is still an absolute beast on the 3

[@bicdichead]

Ditto, first time I've kept a phone post 24 month contract on Sim only plan. The Pixel 3 has one massive flaw of inadequate ram but outside of that, still a great phone and also can't see how much more they can improve. It's a sure bet keeping it 🤷

Bought the 5 and returned it and went back to my 3. Why...because the front camera and speakers especially are trash compared to the 3. Wasn't enough of an upgrade i.m.o. and I have been happier using my 3 again.

[@jenniferchen4795]

Switched from Samsung S8 plus to Pixel5. My previous phones are all Samsung and I totally recommend Pixel5. The battery life is so amazing and the user experience is better. It has everything android phones have and a much more clean and intuitive user experience, which is the advantage of an iphone. The only down side comparing to my prev phone is the speaker. The quality isn't that good, but this doesn't bother me, since I don't really listen to music out loud. Oh and the night mode photos totally blew my mind.

Your comment about Pixel 5 haptics similar to pixel 4 or 4A dont seem true. I found it to be of less intensity.

[@Megaatron1]

Too bad you missed out on low light camera comparison. Which one would you prefer when you gotta decide which one is better in low light ?

[@pidgeo202]

totally agree. Pixel5 is so light. it's one of its main positives imo. really comfortable in hand, no fingerprints, and nicely grippy vs glass. that along with the crazy good battery life n stock android interface. my favourite phone to use every day. I tried out an s20 last week n tho the screen is beautiful n I love the vibrant shots from the galaxy's cameras I much prefer the weight and UI on the pixel. battery life sucks on the s20 compared to the pixel too, even when using 60hz & medium battery saver settings on the s20. Downsides: the p5 speakers are terrible. I hope Google upgrade the camera sensors next gen.

[@lisandroCT]

The haptics step down is what makes me not upgrading either. 😖

[@Jo5ue1]

@@lisandroCT Exactly, not sure why this is not a bigger deal. I couldn't stand it, and also what I noticed is the camera shutter noise got 10 times louder, when before it was a subtle tehh, now is a very pronounced sound. And when I was liking some posting on social media, the sound it made was super loud too. I hope this changes in the Pixel 6

[@egcozinon]

Lol .. I don't use haptics at all.. i always turn it off fully . why is that important ? It's not necessary at all to be available!

[@lisandroCT]

@@egcozinon Without haptics, every phone is just a glass screen. Haptics is what you _feel_ and what sells the idea of you pressing real buttons, not just tapping on a glass. It's, in my opinion, one of the the few things that make a flagship be and feel like a flagship.

[@egcozinon]

@@lisandroCT Definitely not for me ! I hate haptics on any phone. I have Oneplus 8T and using it without haptics on it just as my NOTE 10 PLUS ...or any other phone I've ever used. Haptics doesn't mean anything to me.

[@davidmartrano1549]

I use the 4xl, so no upgrade at this time. Plus I like the squeeze feature, face unlock, Soli I can take or leave. And the stereo speakers are just better. In my humble opinion I think it would be a downgrade. Plus the 855processer is still better than the 765? It should have been priced 550.00 to 600.00, 7oo.oo is just too much for what's offered. Some call it a flagship, I call it a mid-ranger due to the processer, very good review!

[@flow2tech]

@David Martrano actually the 765 is more efficient than the 855..Battery life is insane on the 5 ...

[@NK-bz9wb]

I was sure I was gonna get the Pixel 4A after watching a different review which put more emphasis about the lack of front speaker thing which seems like such a weird design choice to me. But you said you haven't really noticed it much, and I think that as a water sports lover and just an outdoorsy person in general, the improvement in video quality does it for me, as well as the waterproof factor. I feel like I'll get a camera which I can also make phone calls and text with and that's pretty much all I want.

[@deepcoolclear]

No desire to upgrade my pixel 4 XL. Still a premium device, same software experience as the 5, same camera hardware and experience with the feature drops face spotlight now rolled out to 4, better speakers, faster processor. When the pixel 6 comes out, lmk.

[@thestarspark2288]

I have the Pixel 2, still works great except for battery life which has turned to shit. I think I'll wait to see the Pixel 6, I'd like improved camera hardware before I spend money on an upgrade. In the meantime I have a portable phone battery I keep in my handbag which solves my battery problem, not ideal, but much cheaper than buying a whole new phone. Very helpful review!! Thank you.

It's between the Pixel 5 and Oneplus 8/8T at the moment, but if you think I won't notice the difference, I'll give the Pixel a rethink 💭

I had to pawn my pixel 2XL two years ago and I have never fully recovered from that. I used iPhone for a while because of the SE coming out again in 2020 but I just bought a pixel 5 and it feels like home again somehow. Pixel devices rule and I am so sad many tech reviewers don't agree. It's such a pure representation of what android is. It's great.

I really like One Month Later reviews. Thanks

[@wooskee]

Bought the Pixel 5 after trading in my Pixel 2 XL. Definitely worth it. Put a small case and screen protector on it. The size of the phone is just so ergonomic and perfect. If you have a magnetic phone mount in your car, make sure you don't place the metal sticky thing on the wireless charging pad located in the middle of the phone below the fingerprint sensor. Google also just developed cross-platform capabilities with Project Fi, so now I can take calls, texts, and Duo videos on both my Pixel 5 and laptop. If you want the ultimate Android ecosystem coupled with a decent photo/video recording experience, choose Android, and choose the Google Pixel 5.

[@MilesBader]

The ding against the 4a about viewing angles was quite unfair... There may be some _technical_ difference in viewing-angle related color balance between the two phones, but in practice, the tiny shift on the 4a is completely imperceptible. Both phones have pretty amazing displays.

[@ChrisBisrainwet]

I upgraded from the Pixel 2 XL. Best thing about the switch is the battery life. It is nothing short of amazing. The speakers are actually pretty good too, just don't cover the speaker grill at the bottom. The weight and feel in the hand is refreshing, and I'm in love with the wide angle. It may not be as wide of a lens as others', but it is much wider than the standard lens on the back.

[@oceanic16]

Does the additional 90hz display, wireless charging, waterproof and wide angle lens justify doubling the price on the pixel 5 over that of the pixel 4a? No way!

[@6MonthsLater]

One thing to point out about the screen is there's more of a difference than just 90hz. The screen on the 5 is a better quality OLED with less distortion with viewing angles than the 4a. May still not be worth a $300 difference to you, but it is def noticable and I find reading on the Pixel 5 a bit easier on the eyes because of it. - Josh

[@MathewLiamSousa]

The Pixel 4a also has the SD 730G vs SD 765G; GPU Adreno 618 vs Adreno 620; plastic build vs aluminum; no 5G capabilities (future proof); battery size 3,140mAh vs 4,080mAh; RAM 6GB vs 8GB; thicker bezels vs thinner bezels, 5.8" screen vs 6" screen; Gorilla Glass 3 vs Gorilla Glass 6; etc... Shall we go on?

[@oceanic16]

@@MathewLiamSousa I suspect that the 4a will outsell the 5 by a factor of 10 to 1. Why? because it offers better value. All those little spec pluses only amount to a modest better user experience. Mind you, if the 5 dropped in price by $150 it would make sense. It ain't no flagship.

[@scotter]

I agree with you big time on phone weight. The rest? First: I have a Pixel 2XL. Every year Google reduces features, quality of components, or resolution. Did you know they have *barely* changed the camera components, each year relying more on a.i. and now Samsung and others have passed Google?

There's obviously pros and cons for both unlock methods, so it would be nice to have both options available, but likely won't happen.

Great review. I have a pixel 3 and was thinking about upgrading but I'm just not convinced yet. I don't mind the bezels especially since they include front facing speakers. Battery life is fine and camera is still really good. Wireless charging is a nice plus especially since I got the wireless google dock. Fingerprint unlock and screen looks good imo. A bigger battery would be nice but as far as the screen with no front facing speakers? Don't really want that. higher refresh rate? don't really NEED that. I think i'll pass on this pixel and see what the 6 is like because so far my pixel is still going strong.

I'm thinking about switching from my 2XL also, and I was worried about that too until I looked it up. Apparently both have 6 inch screens, so it should be the same. EDIT: Researched a little more and found this: "They're both 6 inches diagonal but the 5 will have a 19.5:9 aspect ratio vs the 2 XL's 18:9 aspect ratio. So the 5's display will be taller and less wide, ultimately meaning less surface area than the 2XL. Shouldn't be a huge difference though."

We did an initial video on it a few months back and will be doing a full in-depth review at the 6 months mark

Probably the best review of this phone i have seen around. Debating on getting rid of the s20 fe 5g ,I had the 4xl before the fe and I am missing the pixel camera. I am gutted I feel this way tbh. I like the s20 fe ,its vibrant ,full of features etc but just struggles with photos of humans and animals.

[@osoifamf]

I was deciding between these two also the fe and the pixel

[@VerbalGenius09]

Great point about the weight of a phone, I have the note 20 ultra and it does get straining after a while

[@cm6275]

Hey, so I’m considering getting the Pixel 5, but I have a concern. I had the Pixel 3A in the past and I loved it, but I went back to iPhone because the camera quality on social media apps like Snapchat, insta, etc looked terrible. I’m wondering can you make a video specifically showing what it looks like on social media vs say the iPhone? Also, I’m wondering what’s your process for transferring videos to your computer to edit since Pixels don’t have airdrop? Now that I make KZbin videos I’m a little worried about how difficult that will be. Thank you!

5:24 omggg I thought I recognized some of the trails lool I was just there

[@chrissmith2963]

Great review . Guessing your unit was free of the screen gap issue? Also, any issues w overheating during gaming or when recording 4K @ 60fps? Thx!

[@6MonthsLater]

No noticeable overheating issues when recording 4K @60fps (and we did a good bit of that for an hour at a time). And no noticeable issue with screen gaps on our unit.

pls do pixel 4a 5g phone review

[@jojotwice8918]

4:20 this delayed processing was on pixel 3 and literally no reviewer ever mentioned it at the time. Now it's a flaw; I had to go around stores to make sure mine wasn't the only one

[@HowTheTechYT]

Very Informative!

[@geofftubeyou]

One big reason I bought the Pixel 5 was the fingerprint sensor on the back of the phone. I really like this phone. My 3aXL was also a great phone.

[@enomama10722]

I am still using my 5yrs old iphone 6s and thinking of changing phone so i am hoping for pixel (5a/xl) to have a headphone jack .

[@weaselsmopar6843]

I just go one and I feel I have down graded as it is so much smaller then my 3XL It also feels like and iphone in the way the swipes go.

[@tiddyfard4517]

Not gonna lie, the biggest problem I had with past phones were the headphone jacks, I messed up my pixel 3a by getting my cord stuck on a random post on the street and it smashed it even with the protective glass cover, also the battery would always run out within 9 hours even less if im watching things. The pixel 5 fixes all of these problems for me AND is faster with more ram and a nice 90Hz display. Can't complain I don't think I could ask or want more from a phone tbh. If I want to play video games or edit things I have my gaming PC for that. Even other phones sporting better cameras, whats the point? Just buy an actual camera it's probably cheaper than dropping 1000 pounds on a phone.

[@Rohit-qo6vh]

I'd prefer watching camera comparisons between pixel and other android competitors rather than pixel and iphone.. because I'm gonna take an android phone for sure but don't know which one.. I'm guessing that's the case for most people..

[@LKxFr]

I like the Pixel 5, I do but the imprint sensor is really bad to be honest. I come from a P30 Huawei where it was below the screen and it was wayyy more convenient. I still love my Pixel 5 though :)

[@thesilenthero422]

Got this on a Black Friday sale. Great device but I miss face unlock.

[@---wo4zo]

may you do me a big favour dial *#06# and send me the number i need to confirm something, i think my phone is fake :(

[@skippss01]

I have a pixel2 and I plan on upgrading to the 5 cause the battery is crappy now

[@ashleighjune4956]

I was forced to get a new phone 😭 I dropped my 4xl and it stopped working and they discontinued the 4xl in Canada so I ordered the pixel 5

[@darrylw1038]

Do you have an uBreakifix around you? They will repair all pixel devices.

[@ashleighjune4956]

I don't have my warranty anymore and I already ordered the new phone 😭

[@ashleighjune4956]

I'm in Canada idk if they have those there

[@darrylw1038]

Ohh yeah you are committed to your purchase now 😁!

[@darrylw1038]

Also, you have quite a few locations. I just have no idea where in Canada you live to narrow it down but here is the URL for your viewing pleasure 🙂 www.ubreakifix.com/ca/locations

[@Amy_Stanmore]

I just want to know what good smartphone has a earphone jack? Does this have a earphone jack? I would hate if my wireless headphones stop working when I’m away lol

[@dzemoski45]

The pixel 5 doesn’t have a headphone jack, but the pixel 4a 5G has it.

[@CFL-TECH]

The Face unlock on the 4XL is so good, and if you work from home mostly the mask wearing is less. It just seems that the fingerprint sensor is going back about 5 years. Hopefully the Pixel 6 will bring back face unlock. The camera zoom on the 4XL is better as well if you like to take closer up photos. Better speakers as well so when you look at the 5 compared to the 4XL the upgrade so to speak, is definitely debatable. The bezell less display is nice on the 5. To upgrade from the 4XL you'd have to have some issues with the 4XL that would make you upgrade. I haven't had any battery issues at all like some have mentioned.

[@exserk]

Face unlock is trash. Go buy an iPhone.

[@drivecfl]

@@exserk ya ok kid, we'll take that very credible I-sheep comment from the authority on iPhones. haha

[@peterd7872]

It's been about 6 days of me using the pixel 5 and I'm getting battery issues after transferring applications and settings of my Samsung galaxy. The battery went from next day (out of the box) to only less than 17 hours when full charge. I don't know what the issue is and am considering factory reset. The battery was ok prior to transferring.

[@oldcat87]

Black Friday deal coming?

[@Tanstattoo]

My Redmi note 8 pro lasts a solid 2 days. light gaming (30 minutes of C.O.D), heavy KZbin, heavy social media, heavy texting and heavy e-mail. My pixel 5 feels cheaper, slower, and the screen isn't the best. Not saying the pixel feels cheap. The pictures are just slightly better than my Redmi phone. The only times it does it better is in low light. Video, let's just say my Redmi note 8 pro would fire the pixel as an assistant. Honestly I prefer my pixel 4. I got it used for 300 dollars. I upgraded the battery I put a 3300 mah battery I bought on Amazon. My pixel can see a full day no problem with all the features enabled.

[@kingsadmin]

neat review!

[@arinkleine]

Does Google do sales at all? Some companies don't, I'm not familiar with Google's policy

[@6MonthsLater]

Yeah, these will likely go on sale around the holidays as in years past.

[@matthewterry3027]

Watch out for black Friday!

[@mytommy]

"great screen" "great display" yet not a single mention of the OLED smear that appears in night mode/low brightness. While this is common among OLED screens, i feel this should be clearly mentioned in the video and perhaps include a demonstration as well

[@6MonthsLater]

That's odd, we haven't noticed any smearing when the screen is at its lowest level of brightness with the 5, including when night mode is on. Have you experienced it on the 5?

[@syamsulbahriabdarif]

Still got legacy issue on my P5. Mic is not working. Contact Google but unluckily from Malaysia so warranty is invalid + When don't have receipt copy

[@DinoTheThird]

Watching on my pixel 4a. I'm literally shocked how good this phone is for $350! Only thing that bothers me is the photo processing time. But for the price, I can wait a few seconds. Also the camera is amazing.

[@benhohmann5918]

I have a Xiaomi mi 9t pro, is it worth it to switch to the pixel 5?

[@MelindaSbo]

Dose anyone else has heating issues i relieved my phone today its honestly scary and its missing camera figures as well or is it a new update?

[@kyb7795]

All pixel phones tend to take a sec processing pics so I don't know why this is a big deal

[@jameswynn93]

Great video!

[@hayden9986]

My pixel 4xl the back is coming off, so I just ordered a pixel 5

[@clownivore]

i've been stuck trying to figure out if i should upgrade to this or a 4a 5g from my 3xl. the larger screen on the 4a is definitely a plus for me, i had regular sized iphones before i switched to the xl pixel and i really have no desire to go back to a small screen lol

[@Sharky165]

Go with the Pixel 4a5G ! I’m in a similar boat, having owned my Pixel XL for a bit over 2 years, and now wanting to upgrade. I hands-on compared the Pxl 5 and 4a5G extensively at BestBuy, and decided I’ll be going with the latter if I buy a 2020 Pixel. The slightly “XL” size of the 4a5G is better for me, and its speakers are much louder than the Pxl 5’s. Also, I don’t see any material difference in the display Refresh rate (perhaps it’s most evident in something like gaming ?), and I feel that 6 GB of RAM is very adequate to run stock Android for the foreseeable future. In the end, it boils down to that I’m willing to “trade” wireless charging & an IP rating, for a headphone jack, lower price, and the aforementioned larger display and better speakers. The Pxl 5 is no doubt the nicest current Pixel, but I see it as a “tricked-out” 4a and a bit overpriced.

[@kaiserd9343]

So we get a shittier CPU, shittier speaker, and a hole punch that's awkwardly placed? Personally would rather a thin bezel than a hole punch that creates a black hole on the screen

[@bapam2]

Night pics?

[@thalminator7663]

I really wanted a pixel but I cant see much of a reason to part with my s9+ for now, maybe if a good s20fe 5g deal comes out black friday.. Really wish Samsung would either get rid of their global CPUs if they cant compete with the snapdragon on any level Hoping the Pixel 6 comes with an XL and better specs

[@drmanhattan225]

Currently using an iPhone 8plus. Want to get something new but really put off with Apples high prices. Is this a good replacement?
