Google Pixel 5 vs 4a 5G vs 4a | All Three 2020 Pixel Phones Compared

[@OpenlyIntel]

Hey Chris, I bought the pixel 4a last week because of your review. Must say I'm very happy with it! So cheers 👍

[@SriHari722]

Bro battery backup comparing to your old mobile..

[@travytech]

@@SriHari722 even though pixel 3a had 3000 mah it had a good battery backup of 9hour. Google's optimization for pixel series is awsm. Pixel 4a have good backup too with 3140 one can easily get 8 hours battery backup , but may be with heavy gaming the battery backup get reduced but still u will get 6.5-7 hour screen on time.

[@Omkar_katkar]

Please let me know about your experience. I am planning to buy it in next 4-5 days.

[@OpenlyIntel]

@@Omkar_katkar my experience with the pixel 4a has been great. I have absolutely no complaints about this phone. I had the pixel 3 before this and so the only difference is image processing, the 4a is a tiny bit slower. 👍

[@OpenlyIntel]

@@SriHari722 battery life is fantastic.

[@michaelmyers4484]

First thing I immediately notice when all three are side by side with the screen on is that the only screen that doesn't flicker in the video (1080p60 in the KZbin app) is the Pixel 5.

[@rithwikpat1400]

I think it's the refresh rate

[@JRobert111111]

The flicker you see is PWM (pulse width modulation). I'm surprised it isn't showing up on the Pixel 5, so I'm not sure if it has it or not. PWM gives many people severe eye strain and headaches.

[@overflow7276]

Seriously: the 4a is THE phone to buy in an event of economic downturn. You get everything you NEED in a compact formfactor for a modest price. I have been waiting for such a well balanced offer since the days of the OnePlus One

[@QuinchGaming]

Oddly when they were all stacked side-by-side all I noticed initially was the different refresh rates. Video really shows how the 60hz screens flicker but the 90hz unit on the 5 looks so smooth.

[@John-Dennehy]

[@MaeMagdalaga-gh7iy]

Noticed it too

[@shivamshukla6539]

Me too

[@0tispunkm3y3r]

Flicker will most likely be because he is also filming at 60fps. The camera is taking images fast enough to catch the screens mid-refresh. You'd have to sync the camera and screens to avoid it or shoot at lower frame rate. You aren't gonna see this in real life.

[@sdelcegno]

The flicker doesn't mean much pwm does. The s20 kill my eyes while my pixel 3 XL lookers smoother to me.

[@harixav]

Google is right on the money with their recent pixel phones. It's setting a standard that you don't really need the latest and greatest hardware to stand out from the crowd. It will become more competitive once Google's able to develop its own processor.

[@corsinivideos]

Awful standard if you want a flagship phone. Very confusing product line, 3 mid range phones with little separation is product specifications and confusing for mainstream consumers. Should have been a much clearer separation in the product line and shouldn't have alienated its flagship customers. Line-up should been 5a (SD730) 1 lens camera £350 SD730 / 5 (SD765) 2 lens camera £599 / 5 pro (SD865) 3 lens camera £799+. Sadly google will never compete with its android partners properly. Another sadly lacklustre release from google as usual and its looking like the speakers are poor on the 5 and are even worse than the 2 models below. Typical

Whether its poor screens, bad battery, poor speakers, terrible ideas like soli, huge ugly notches, face unlock they don't support properly etc etc there is always some glaringly obvious issue with pixel phones. The 5th richest company in the world that invented android for some reason can't seem to get it right after 5 years lol. A simple product line wit a budget/ midrange and Flagship phone all with good specs and features and competitive prices, marketed properly would have been all they need to do, but instead the decided to experiment with sh*t ideas and put out half baked cra*p. While there competitors like apple just slowly refined their products and now rarely release a bad phone ever.

[@kid-hudi]

I bought the 4a before the 5g and 5 came out, and I don't have any buyer's remorse about it, and I'd still pick the 4a today if I had a do over. I don't feel like the extra upgrades are anything I'd miss. I would rarely use the extra lens if I had it. It's all about the software anyway, which is about the same, and the 4a's hardware is plenty for a standard daily driver for a normal everyday person. An extra $200 is better served getting some new Pixel Buds than a hardware upgrade IMO

[@Kemikalgeneral]

@@lehoff Coming from the 3XL (and my wife's 4XL), I don't like that the screen is smaller, but most of all the audio is terrible. The top speaker is under the screen so it sounds cheap, tinny and muffled, and the single bottom speaker is no where near strong enough to carry it through. Plus the back feels like cardboard.

[@lehoff]

@@Kemikalgeneral I guess it's not for everyone's taste. For me coming from the 2xl it's a massive step up the screen is similar size, I like that it's physically smaller as well for me as I was getting a bit tired of the overly big phones. The speakers are a bit crap I agree, but I don't really listen to audio on it much and even then it's not films or anything. So far the battery life seems really good, and the screen is lovely compared to what I'm used to. Despite not having a premium processor it seems fast and capable. The camera also seems great as usual. I agree it's probably not premium and not worth £600 but with the BOSE headsets then it does become a really good deal in my opinion. I needed a new phone, and for me the camera and 8gb ram and the size was exactly what I was waiting for. It's a shame it hasn't hit the spot for you - but then again at least you've given it a go!

[@darrenhumphries7051]

Hi Chris, great review video thanks. In the last 12 months I've had an Xperia 5 MK1 with the world's worst fingerprint scanner ever, I broke that and had to use my daughter's iPhone XS for 6 month, great handset but iOS is awful compared to Android. Last week and due to this video I purchased the Pixel 4a. What a phone. Does absolutely everything I need it to and a bit more. Everything Google syncs seemlessly and as I guess I'd be classed as a light user most days I can get virtually 2 full days of use from a charge. Thanks for this and all of the other great videos long may they continue.

[@TheJunky228]

just a note -- water-resistance ratings for phones consider pure clean water. water with soap (bath water) will have lower surface tension so will be more likely to get through the seals than pure water. also as phones age, the seals degrade and the phone is flexed over time, the water resistance rating isn't forever! It's still not advisable to dunk your phone, even if it is "water proof". It's really only there to hopefully prevent an early accidental drowning.

@@LandonTowers You are forgetting Pixel 5 has a 765g, iPhone 12 mini is at the same price with A14, same camera setup. iPhone SE may have inferior camera, but has A13, 4a has 730g. 765g doesn't even come close to the 855 in my Pixel 4 XL, it's a long way from even the A13. And Google only offers 3 years of software support while Apple usually offers up to 5. Google has a lot of work to do. Dropping the price on Pixel 5 would be a good start.

No IP rating, no thanks! I don't know why but I'm obsessed with the Pixel 5. Only 2020 phone I have an interest in.

for me its that and the iphone 12 mini, i just love small phones

Hi Chris, any issues with the phone getting hot when using it? Thanks

[@Brownie-956]

@@SuperSparkyMark1 Can't say I've ever noticed it. I don't particularly do any gaming on the phone though.

[@pufanu100]

So you really haven't noticed the gap between the screen and the body on the Pixel 5? Or you just don't want to mention it? Just so you know, you can see it at 6:56.

[@RichardServello]

One thing you CAN see is the major flicker on the 4as and not the 5

[@XydenKonos]

That's because the 5's refresh rate is the same as the camera he's using. It's really just a coincidence.

[@QuinchGaming]

different refresh rates, the 5 is a 90hz screen, the others only 60hz

[@QuinchGaming]

@Wurzel Tee so it's not the screen refresh matching the camera?

The speaker sounds REALLY bad. The top speak is under the screen so sounds muffled, and the single bottom speaker is miles behind the rest of the range.

[@khghangman]

the speaker is cheap and the processor is cheap and body is cheap, is a cheap phone and underpower 👎🏻

[@kerravon7530]

Just the type of comparison video I was waiting for, this guy is one the best reviewers on here. I'm still happy with my Pixel 3a XL but I do get a bit fed up of managing the lowly 64GB storage. The 4a 5G seems to be natural successsor sizewise so I think I'll go for that.

[@ikt32]

The 4a 5G was on sale last week, and for €410 (€499 when not on sale) it's excellent value.

[@mattluxton]

Pixel 5 all the way. Smaller bezels, biggest battery, 5g, 90hz, more ram. No brainer

[@embosity675]

Speaker sounds a little bit eh but coming from a 6s with just a single speaker at the bottom it should be better even though it sounds not as good as the 4a and 4a 5g. All round though I’m super excited to get mine on Thursday and I think the 90hz and more ram smaller bezels bigger battery and waterproofing along with wireless charging is worth the extra cash! Can’t wait to try the Bose headphones too

[@embosity675]

@61 Cygni very nearly got sorta sage! But I felt it was too light green I prefer dark green. So went for the stealth look 😈 might decide to get a skin later on down the line though! How about you?

[@Kemikalgeneral]

@@embosity675 The 5 only has a single speaker on the bottom, and it's crap.

@@Kemikalgeneral it has a top speaker too

[@Kemikalgeneral]

@@embosity675 Sorry, I meant out of the two bottom slots, only one is a speaker, the other is a mic. The top speaker isn't worth mentioning though, it sounds like a cheap broken headphone.

[@debraplatt1788]

Great review. Only thing attracting me to the 5 is the wireless charging pad so I don't have to go back to wires from my current Samsung which wirelessly charges. Shame as the 4a would have done just fine

[@SuperSparkyMark1]

Any issues with the phone running warm/hot?

[@mojjammil]

Going with the 4a. I've been using the OnePlus 5 for darn too long even though it still doesn't lag and works just fine but I badly want to experience Google's vision of Android hands on.

[@shahidafridiboomboom]

Maybe root your phone and install a pixel based rom from xda.

[@mojjammil]

@@shahidafridiboomboom a Pixel based ROM won't provide the best all round Pixel like experience, specially won't get all the latest features which are Pixel specific and not even on vanilla Android.

[@gelbemann]

Me too! I originally ordered the pixel 5 but it's just a bit too pricey to be honest. Currently I am using the OnePlus 6T and it's still fast as hell but 1) it's too big and 2) I really liked the nexus line. Can't wait to get my hands on the 4a!

[@dave93x]

Same. I'm on a 5T and it still runs perfectly. I want the Pixel camera and the smaller form factor but full screen display. It's also a bit of a pain waiting for new Android updates on this phone too. Will be ordering my 4a soon.

[@mojjammil]

@@dave93x just got update from Google store that my earlier Pixel 5 pre-order with the Bose QC32 II is still on so cancelled the 4a order. Seems I am going with the 5 even though I feel like the 4a would have done just fine for me.

[@SM-bm7mk]

Because I keep a phone for 7 to 9 years, I will probably wait for 5a. Hopefully 5a will have better gorilla glass than 3, will still have a headphone jack, will have 5g capability, will be the size of the 4a, and will have a good price. For me right now, I like the 4a size and price, but it does not have 5g. 4a5g is too big and price is ok. And the 5 is too expensive and no headphone jack.

Thanks for your vids, Ive watched loads of them and appreciate your straight shooting. I'm torn between the two new ones and like the toughness of the 5 cos I work outside gardening and stuff. But I'd like to be able to listen with wired headphones if poss. Can this be done with a dongle on the pixel 5 and is it much hassle.. ? While I'm here what do you or others think of the silicon screen savers that are melted onto the displays.. ? My tools need to be able to take quite a hiding so I'd probly insure for breakage as well.. :)
