Google Pixel 5a 5G vs Pixel 5 5G Speed Test, Battery, Speakers & Cameras!

[@mouadtalbi4170]

I'd chose pixel 5a anytime over pixel 5 The price difference isn't worth it

[@PeeGeeThirteen]

I preffer Pixel 5's pocket friendly size

[@nikhilbelote5310]

I will prefer pocket friendly price

[@Zoom-ui2pf]

I own a 4a and 5a and honestly the 5a really isn't that big. I have no issue carrying the 5a around all day and compared to some other new phones, this thing ain't that big.

[@Andesu]

Finally, the speaker comparison we've all been waiting for

[@fitzworld18]

The 5a is an even better deal now because of 50 off for black friday. Meaning $399 brand new. Not bad...

[@yourfather1263]

It depends on person's size

[@digitalxdan]

Google's pricing for these phones are so baffling to me. Less than a year after releasing the Pixel 5 at $699, they introduce the pixel 5a which essentially has the same specs as the 5 but for $250 less.

[@rizdog5735]

yeah but pixel 5 probs dropped 100 in price so only 150 more. and you're getting wireless charging, more ram and 90Hz for that.

[@showvik74]

[@hoanghai2k]

Battery is the big upgrade, please do the drain test

[@SpaceWithSam]

Been waiting for this!

[@vaibhavmarathe1234]

Pixel 5 size is perfect

[@ozlion152]

To me the fact that 5a is being compared to a higher tier device albeit old is already a win

[@svartholstjornubur8402]

Excellent video. No fluff. Covered everything I'm interested in comparing.

[@Akbarkhan-fp2mc]

Which one is winner

[@hawjiang5349]

4a 5G user here. 5a remove Laser Auto Focus module (PDAF), it might be affecting the focus performance in low light environment if compare with 4a 5G.

[@GouAndSotsuWereMistakes]

If only 5 have headphone jack, I would've chosen it in a heartbeat.

[@tidus1ph]

5a would be a better deal for a lower price, better speakers and battery. Go with 5 for the fancier features.

[@rrr-pc6rm]

Why you mentioned bettery speakers

[@jgnmtz]

I like the 5a in the side by side., the size is huge .the speakers rock ..the refresh is almost there .. the battery size definitely my day in a nutshell 4680 ! now if only humans were 7% larger and had pockets the size of mailboxes hahaha 😝

[@Bigdoglentil]

What about the heating issue in pixel 5a, ? Is it manageable about videos shooting or clicking pictures ! Answer please, Tia

[@yellowflash2240]

The phone has build issues and has high probability of bricking once it falls soo I'd prefer not to get it over the 5

[@inter3988]

How can I contact Google? I want to tell them that the subtitle guy messed up everything in their two-beautiful phones' review

[@fitzworld18]

I love the pixel 5's size

[@pranesh1034]

Could you please cover the camera testing. Not to compare the picture quality but to check for the heating issue. Heard that during 4k recording it gets heated and also during continuous snaps it gets warmer. Please cover this topic.

[@PhoneBattles]

Just tested, 5a lasted 6 min 23 sec and 5 lasted 9 min 57 sec in 4K 60fps mode

[@pranesh1034]

@@PhoneBattles This is strange and weird. Why do they even have these features if they are of no use actually. Personally disappointed. Keeping this out, in India we have only 4a (costs 31k) available to purchase. Jus found that S20 FE is sold here for 39k. So do you think the S20 FE camera does a good job compared to pixel? Let me know your thoughts.

[@pranesh1034]

@@PhoneBattles Btw thank you, for testing and replying 😊

[@chancesareshewears]

why test when both cameras are EXACTLY the same hardware?

Pranesh Ravi - I don't own the S20 FE but heard it's pretty good

[@sulaiman8048]

Love it..realy searching for this type of.comparation

[@Amin.Mahmudul]

If I consider battery and camera which will be great to buy?

[@lordkent8143]

Taking photos, people are mentioning that the 5a's photos are lacking in refinement compared to the 5. Some say it has it do with the lack of the laser focus sensor on the 5a. A very small detail and not necessary but not sure if that's the reason.

[@PhoneBattles]

thanks I wasn't aware of that and haven't really noticed a difference myself in my limited use, but I focus a lot more on video quality than photo quality

[@adventures_in_china5083]

There's something I wanted to ask. It might seem like a stupid feature. But it's something I've grown to love on my Huawei phone. Can you take a video using both front and back camera at the same time? Like video in video.

[@PhoneBattles]

Unfortunately no, I don't think that's possible, but maybe with a third party app

[@aliakbarujjainwala97]

Did you face any heating issue? Especially while videography or photography

[@PhoneBattles]

In personal use so far no, but just tested each while recording in 4K 60fps mode. 5a lasted 6 min 23 sec and 5 lasted 9 min 57 sec

[@Asimkhan-vs9rd]

@@PhoneBattles what do you think which one best ? Pixel 5 Pixel 5a Pixel 6 ?

[@alexvazquez7709]

I wonder using a OnePlus 7t it would be a update to get pixel 5a?

[@PhoneBattles]

Hmm in some ways yes, such as software updates, but overall I'm not sure

[@adventures_in_china5083]

Thank you for this comparison. It was straight to the point and just right.

Thank you very much!

Hello. I can't record my screen (screen recording function) for more than 12 minutes with my Google Pixel 5. Would you have a tip to work around this problem please? Thanks a lot.

[@wooshbait36]

Use app store you dummy

[@ancientflames]

How’s the battery on both? Thinking of getting a used 5

[@slantblant1]

You'd be better off getting a 5a.

[@PhoneBattles]

battery life on 5 is pretty good, but significantly better on 5a. both should get you through the day without any issues.

[@ancientflames]

@@slantblant1 I prefer the smaller form factor, premium material and 90hz.

[@ChadH2023]

Watch the video recently about a battery test comparing both and the Pixel 5 beat the 5A by 10 minutes.

[@muhammedsaman3999]

Is it fine to for recording1080 at 60fps ? And how about video calls ?

[@PhoneBattles]

Haven't had any overheating issues at 1080p 60fps if that's what you're asking, though I have at 4K 60fps. Quality is decent for video but Pixels are better at photos. Video quality isn't bad just don't expect it to match the top flagships. Video calls depend on the app though I haven't done any yet

[@user-Mus19PHk]

Thank you so much.

[@musicmeister1313]

5a speakers sound better quality

Wait... They have the same SoC?! Why is the 5 more expensive?!

[@PhoneBattles]

Yeah, wouldn't surprise me if they discontinue the 5

[@ocallaghancolin94]

It has a higher level of water resistance, IP68 vs IP67, fast wireless charging & reverse wireless charging ability, more RAM 8GB vs 6GB, the Spectral + Light flicker sensor vs none on 5a 5G, and 5G mmwave support and smaller bezels

[@verynameboi4121]

Ngl it was better without music

[@PhoneBattles]

I've done music for these videos for the past 3 years or so, I tested a few years ago and videos with music tend go get more views

For people who don't play a lot of games and apps at the same time it'll be fine, but yes otherwise expect some app and game restarts. 6GB is low by Android 2021 standards but fine for the average customer

@@PhoneBattles here is the Pixel 5a. It is almost green: kzbin.info/www/bejne/qYTShJqZl6eShNE

[@PhoneBattles]

Lol what are you talking about? I've been receiving phones from Google prior to release date since the Pixel 3 (3, 3a, 4 XL, 4a, 5 and now 5a I've posted videos for prior to their releases). Why would I do a fake unboxing for this phone? The box also says 5a on it. As for the lighting looking different, it's probably that I have a different lighting setup and camera than that person. The color is mostly black and the green is subtle and depends on lighting. Finally, if you look at the Geekbench test I ran it gives information about the phone and says it's the 5a.

[@CFL-TECH]

@@QbanCelli I don't believe the 4A has the grooved textured power button.
