5:28 "Why did Google not go with the higher end chip?" Because a mid-range chip is more than fine for 95% of consumers. There, I said it.

[@DanielOrtegoUSA]

I'm shallow and self-centered, so I'm in the other 5%

[@IPendragonI]

Well they mostly did it for the battery life and 5G. I think I've watched a video where they said Google isn't trying to compete with other manufacturers anymore with top of the line specs and features and going back to their roots in the Nexus line.

[@mateotokic3841]

When you put 700$ price tag, you better have higher end chip and 3 focal lengts of camera (wide + tele + ultrawide) or lower the price. This phone would be a great buy at 500$ and not a cent more.

[@TBDG5310]

@@mateotokic3841 Adding the highest end chip and also having technically 4 cameras would definately warrant having more like a $900 price tag at least, especially for a Google phone.

[@mateotokic3841]

@@TBDG5310 Other manufactures do it, either one, or another or both (S20 FE). And even if price would be 900$ for Google phone with those specs (still overpriced) it would be a far better buy than it is right now with what you get for your money. But Google knows that 99% of KZbinrs (which live off Google and KZbin) will try to twist and turn everything about Pixel in positive way and they do not even bother respecting their customers with hardware worth of their money. When you think about it just because they have so much revenue from their other streams they should make one great flagship and one great midrange and because they do not depend of their mobile divison, they can undercut everyone with price (and still be in + with revenue) and in that way control prices on the market and keep them reasonable. This way, phone which is midrange in all way is prices as lower tier flagship which will end with 1000$ midrangers in year or two.

Had the Google Pixel 5 for 5 days now, been using it for four and am so happy. It doesn't have killer specs or unbelievable features. What it does have is a good clean near flawless experience. That is why I always think that you can't judge a Pixel phone until you have used it for a while. Really nice review Jimmy.

[@Konakoazerty]

I'm really concerned about the "stereo" sound. Can you tell me your feelings about it?

[@Riz_]

@@Konakoazerty Yes I certainly can. It's passable. It's not brilliant but it is not as bad as some reviewers would have you believe. The speaker at the bottom does the main body of the sound and the under screen speaker does add a little bit on top but you do get used to it. The sound is the weakest part of this phone I would say but it's such a good phone that I would easily let it pass.

[@Chris79DE]

I am considering to buy it, but I heard in other videos that the sound quality is really poor. Now I am not listening to music or something on the phone, but I wonder about the sound quality during calls and how it works when put on speaker during calls. Any feedback would be cool.

[@Riz_]

​@@Chris79DE I have had absolutely no issues of sound on a call. I think people are grossly exaggerating. As I said above, it's far from the best but it's also far from the worst.

Nothing competes with stock Android, maybe iOS but no other Android does.

[@richw3215]

Honestly the longest part of setting up my Pixel 5 was disabling all the suggestions, "nor playing", and turning 3 button navigation back on. I was getting ads disguised as suggestions, and a super intrusive google assistant, making the phone nearly unusable. I also had to install Nova launcher just so I could get the search bar off of the home screen, and change the clock widget.

[@math001]

There was always this talk about how stock Android is so superior to the other reskins but how different is the experience really? Do I just get a different look for my control center and settings menu? For the home screen and app drawer, you can always use a launcher anyways. I never have used a Google phone in my life but from what I can tell, other Android phones are fast especially these days so I don't know how good the stock OS vs that practically speeaking.

Ive always used Samsung phones, then I went to the Pixel 2 XL and that was my favorite phone Ive ever used. Then I went back to Samsung and I really missed the Pixel. So here I am back to the Pixel and I couldn't be happier. Don't let specs on paper make your decision. Go to best buy and play around with the demo's then make a decision. The Pixel 5 is amazing. I hope this helped anyone that's on the fence about purchasing a new android device!

[@androguyy]

Every Pixel phones does the processing once you take photos I don’t get why people are addressing this now all of a sudden.. It did this since the very first Pixel.. in fact Both my Pixel 2 and Pixel 3 takes longer to process photos than 5 lmao

[@kyb7795]

I was starting to think my p2xl had a problem

[@TechArtAlex]

People are addressing this because the Pixel 4 and 4XL had a special image processing chip that made it much faster, which has been removed on the Pixel 5.

[@androguyy]

@@TechArtAlex No people who switched from even the Pixel 2 or Pixel 3 are addressing this as well, I have both of them myself and the difference isn’t even noticeable with Pixel 5 actually processing them faster than both.

[@puzzleluvr]

I just picked up the Pixel 5 Thursday, and loving it already. This is my 3rd Pixel (Pixel 2 and 4XL) and at this point am pretty loyal to their team. I have been very disappointed in the face unlock on the 4XL, so that's the main thing that drove me to the P5 this year. Also, I don't mind the "lower end" processor, as I don't usually do super heavy CPU tasks. Although the lack of the dedicated photo processing chip will suck.

In my opinion one of the best reviews out there of the Pixel 5. Other videos are putting it up against other flagships and comparing a few percentages in battery difference, a couple milliseconds of app opening time, etc...etc...etc... Honestly, stuff 90% of phone users worldwide don't care about. You hit the nail on the head by just explaining that this is a good android phone, easy and fun to use, great camera for everyday use and even though has a smaller chip, does the job just fine for the upcoming years. I switched from Iphone to Pixel 3 xl a couple years back and loved the pixel phones ever since, Pixel 5 is on their way to my house in a few days!

[@ngjovi8222]

Upgrading from pixel 2 to pixel 5. The user experience is what keeps me in #TeamPixel.

[@mr-plus]

Still using a Pixel 1 XL, the battery is the real troublemaker now. It tends to switch off around 40-50% sometimes. The coating on the back is really messed up, but it gives it a post-apocalyptic look if you like Fallout... A little slow now, HDR image processing takes around 5 seconds after you take a picture. So 1 second is a great improvement. Otherwise, still a good phone for a 5 years old piece of tech.

My personal opinion the quality of the speakers is fine but there is a noticeable imbalance when using your phone in landscape for watching videos or playing games. It's really a volume imbalance issue and not a quality issue. If just listening to music it's not an issue. I should add if the types of games you play are games like among us, it would not negatively affect you.

@@RamiHaddadin phone contracts suck. Don't do it. Buy it for full price

[@RamiHaddadin]

@@RedOpsTeam no... I live in Canada where the prices of the phones are insane while the phone plans are normal. I use koodo mobile not bell not rogers. They make you pay 150$ per month while koodo makes you pay 35 plus a tab (usually about 30$ so about 75 per month). no I will do a contract since it is cheaper overall and I will stick to them.

[@RedOpsTeam]

@@RamiHaddadin I live in Canada too. First u get a locked phone and u pay the full price for the phone for 2 years whereas the price reduces just after a year

Former pixel 4xl user current pixel 5 user and I am not disappointed

[@DME04]

I came from an S10 Plus to the Pixel 5 and I don't regret my choice. I was seeing the trend of phones costing well over a thousand dollars and it's not worth it to spend that kind of money imo. My only gripe about the Pixel 5 though, is that the audio quality from the speakers is the worst I've heard in years. But, I made my purchase due to the pure android experience without any bloatware and I'm not disappointed.

[@aserrano1993]

Plain and simple , highlighted aspects of the phone as well as providing an HONEST opinion that makes sense. Pixel 4a seems no different that the 5 other than hertz . Great video sir

[@mehoprelivoda]

Will buy it definitely... still using Pixel 1. Pixel 5 is actually just Pixel 1 with better battery and additional camera, and only worthy upgrade candidate. My take: Storage is enough, camera is good enough, battery is better, display is better, fingerprint is something I need. Only downside is lack of 3.5 port but adapter will do...

[@saphrone4071]

I bought my Pixel 4a on release and ended up paying 180 out of pocket because of my amazon gift money I had left over and was feeling that I should have waited for the 5 but after watching this review I feel less worried about my buyer remorse. I have been loving the 4a since my purchase but even with the slight buyers remorse

[@Framidan]

I had a 6p nexus and it was amazing, its only flaw was the battery, and after 4 years it became a problem. I don't change phones often, so I think this Pixel 5 will be my next phone

[@EdgleyCesar]

Thanks for the great honest review! I'm going to upgrade from my Pixel 2 XL to the 4a 5G here in the UK as Google was offering a free Bose QC 35 II headphone with it. If not for that, I would go for the 4a as it's incredibly cheap at only £349 at the moment.

[@ThaFedejp]

Best take on this phone I've watched. "Main" pixels are not worth it anymore imho. Since the 3A, you're better off going for the "a-pixel" line. Great value, great performance, great support.

[@roweboat]

Appreciate the honesty! I decided to go with the 5 over the 4a (usually not the type to spend so much on a phone) because looking long term, if the phone lasts me 3 years, that extra battery life will be very appreciated and the slightly better specs will help it age better

[@TofuInc]

I've had it for 2 weeks. The speakers are terrible and I constantly have issues with the fingerprint sensor. Other than those 2 things I really like it. It will be $650 for Black Friday.

[@aussiescotsman4145]

Really? I've had no issues with my fingerprint scanner. Speaker is lacking though but I use earphone or a Bluetooth speaker anyways so it doesn't bother me

[@kartoffelwillipeter3067]

I upgraded almost a year ago to the Samsung Galaxy S10 and I must say I'm really satisfied with it. Good quality, great sound, doesn't make any problems, good battery and camera. Plus it still has a headphone jack. Very good phone while costing about 500 bucks right now. Only thing is the back is kind of flashy and glossy which makes finger prints extremely visible. Get a screen protector so the screen isn't scratched after a month and you'll be fine.

[@kartoffelwillipeter3067]

@Ilir Cami Caution: This comment is way longer than initially intended. Well for me it is excellent, only thing are the phone settings, I always need an eternity when I search for something unusual and specific. Otherwise everything is very easy to use, standard Android stuff. Though I forgot the only important thing that really bothers me. The S10 is the phone where Samsung tried to indroduce their own Siri called Bixby, this thing has a dedicated button right under the volume buttons, and even if you don't want it (like me) you can't fully delete it or put any other use on that button. Only thing you can do is go into the settings of bixby to make it so that you have to either hold the button or you need to push it twice to activate it. So occasionally I accidentally activate bixby, but you know, if I even forget about it when I initially talk about the phone, it isn't the worst thing in the world, I at least got used to it. Though in the end I can't say much, my last phone was a Note 4 and I don't know what currently is considered good or bad, all I know is, like every phone when you buy it, it has tons of useless malware on it, some of it that you can't even uninstall instead you can just deactivate it so it doesn't bother you anymore (prominently Facebook and Bixby) and everything I need works great and is easy to find. I don't play any hardcore smartphone games so I don't know how good it keeps up with continuously high performance demand. The phone usually changes quickly between wifi and mobile data, and it quickly responses when you lose signal and go back out again.

Waiting for my Pixel 5 atm. Getting it next week! Was thinking of getting the 4a 5G but I need the water resistance to keep my mind at ease(Allot of rain and snow). And the wireless charging is a plus. Love the pixel series, still have my pixel 1 after 4 years. Only problem with it is the battery life (6hours max) atm. With careful use of the pixel 5 you can easily have it over a 5 year period. Don't think the price is to high, when this phone can easily outrank the other phones in 3 years when it still get updates for the android. My older phones I had to switch after 2-3 years period because of android problems(Usually only 1 year of updates). So if a pixel last 5-6 years, you do save that amount over the long term.

[@billanderson7930]

Was able to get two Pixel 5's for $100 less than the price of one with trade in through our cell company. So far after 2 weeks of use I can say that we absolutely love this phone, especially considering the promotion they ran! I do agree that regular price of $700 would be a bit steep. Oh, and the battery is fantastic!

[@ニフ-m2m]

thanks for the review, im planning to buy the phone atm and kinda lost but after hearing this review im set on it. cant wait to have it delivered

[@joniden2215]

I get basically 2 "work" days out of my Pixel 5.

[@SnackZaddy]

I'm still on the pixel 2 and I'm upgrading to the 5. Stock Android is a huge factor. Beyond that, it's cheaper then any of the other phones I would really consider getting. Google does simple and functional very well. Imsgine the user friendliness of apple without all of the totalitarian proprietary BS. It's clean and does anything you ask it to and doesn't try to force you into extra software you never asked for

[@rdalin]

Currently using the Pixel 2 (!), which is a great phone; had it for more than 3 years. Considering an upgrade, torn between the 4a 5G and the 5.

[@kendavis7248]

I already own the pixel 4a, which I absolutely love to use, but I confess that I've had the pixel 5 in the online shopping basket so many times. I love that sorta sage...

[@jaredbredeweg1549]

I have had the Pixel 4xl since the beginning of the year and this is hands down the best phone I have ever had the only thing that lack of the pixel 4 and 4xl is the finger print sensor. Other than that the camera is phenomenal, my family and friends are always complimenting how great of pictures my pixel takes. I don't think I will upgrade for another year and a half or 2 years if the battery holds up.

[@Arcadude1]

I have the Pixel 3 and I was considering upgrading to the Pixel 5. However, after much consideration I believe my Pixel 3 will do just fine for another year or so.

[@ronthomas24rt]

So far it's the best yet! Love it!

[@zaps40]

Hello Jimmy, Thanks on your view of the Pixel 5, It makes my purchase of the Pixel 5 seem worth the decision to buy, I am upgrading from a Galaxy a50 and after all the research i have taken all in i feel yours was the turning point to go with the Purchase of the Pixel 5, Thanks again for your true view.

[@elaine901]

At 4:40 you mention that the photo gets processed. How did you find taking front facing photos of yourself? Currently on my pixel this processing distorts my photos and make it look like its been taken with a fish eye lens. Makes my cheeks look way bigger than they already are lol. I'm hoping newer phones avoid this distortion.

[@UnkemptBushell]

Really good review. So many are missing the point on this phone. I think everyone can agree that $600 would have been perfect, but you're still getting a lot for your money. I like a smaller phone and a great camera. I like the finger print reader on the back where I naturally grip the phone. I like symmetrical bezels and no notch. I don't need all the extras that Samsung packs in, and I don't like the size and design of OnePlus. Also, getting a free pair of Bose QC35ii headphones made this a no-brainer for me.

[@cliffordnewton4432]

Who's watching this on Pixel 5 😁

[@johnb5033]

Had it now for 3 weeks now in Japan. Nice phone that takes great photos, doesn't lag out, has good battery life, connectivity, and fits comfortably in your hand. Would just like to add it was $500 here with carrier discount

[@abbiesad]

What about speaker is 4a5g bettee

[@johnb5033]

@@abbiesad don't have one sorry! Only the 5. Speakers sound good to me and I usually use it with headphones during commute anyway.

[@brianwj5]

The pixel 5 is really surprising me. So far I'm loving this device more and more each day I have it. It's only been a few days but so far the battery life has been amazing and performance has been great. All of the features I want to complain about not having are still an issue but the performance so far makes me miss those complaints less and less. I'm coming from a pixel 3xl and loves it but I don't miss glass back phones. I love the back of this phone and the lack of finger prints.

[@derekarguello3335]

I had the 4a 5g because honestly it seemed like the best bang for the buck but after owning it for 1 week I started having buyers remorse because I knew that literally for $150 more I could have googles flagship and honestly I'm glad I did because now that summer is here I am one of those guys that brings my phone in the water to take pictures of my 2 year old daughter and honestly the memories I get to keep of her learning how to swim will last a lifetime can't really put a price tag on memories .

[@xxmeowxx9274]

the google pixel's approach towards simplicity is seriously what a lot of people love and take great interest in. I really see them competing with apple with their simplistic, easy-to-use-and-understand approach!
