ATM I do not see a reason to buy any of Google's 3 offerings this year, as I'd be taking a step back spec wise in one way or another. Instead I have high hopes that they'll give me a reason to upgrade back to a Pixel in 2021 when next years models come out... Now my wife on the other hand recently dropped her Pixel 3A in the toilet, breaking it in the process, and has fallen back to using her old Pixel 1 XL. After waiting to see what others have said I think she's just going to get a Pixel 4A. She's not a big gamer, so the money she'd save by getting a 4A vs 4A 5G or 5 just makes more sense to her (all she wants is Google's OS with fast updates for as long as possible and a good camera at the best possible price, so 4A it is...).

I'm losing Soli Radar and face unlock which I really enjoy, squeeze for assistant, better processor, and a smaller screen which really bothers me bc I've always had the XL variant and idk why they skimped this year. I don't see where the upgrade is for me at least. I don't really need Ultra Wide camera which isn't even as good as others who offer a 127° field of view, Google opted for only 107° 🙄🤦🏼.

It's basically what the pixel 4 should have been. They addressed nearly everything wrong with the pixel 4 which is a good thing. As a pixel 4xl user myself Google's phones will never blow you away but they will get the job done and that is precisely why they failed at their old $900+ price point. At that price consumers expect features that blow you away, not just work. For a cheaper price, the pixel is able to get away with not rocking the boat whilst still appeasing customers as they don't have to pay as much as an iPhone or galaxy s series. If this midrange chip holds up, I'd like to see them continue using mid range chips. Funnily enough MOST of us consumers don't actually need flagship chips even if we think we do. Most of US would rather more battery

They really dropped the ball on the P4. Soli was practically useless and the battery was a mess. Good to see they took the criticisms in stride and made something a bit more affordable. Most Pixel users could care less about the processor and 120hz screens in other phones tbh

Previously had hoped for a 3a XL, but on Sprint, got a regular 3a for $200 unlocked. Should be a nicer upgrade and larger phone to the 4a 5g.

I am getting my Pixel 5 tomorrow. The cleanest software, first one to get an update, incredible camera, and for me personally, wireless charging and water resistance, is the jump from 3a for 200€ more, totally worth it. I genuinely think paying 1000€ for browsing memes, Insta, and basic stuff is ridiculous. Google finally realised that the best of specs is not everything. Create your own niche in the market and make quality products.

I have gone from Pixel 4->5 and the only thing I'll really miss is the ambient EQ since it was just a nice touch. I won't miss the glossy black back, and I'm indifferent between fingerprint and face unlock, both are great and quick. Also, the midrange processor really isn't an issue for a normal phone user, and I much prefer the better battery I'm already getting. I think most people who want way more power out of a phone are just using their phones as an incorrect device for a lot of tasks. Its just a really nice and solid phone.

Thank you for your comprehensive review. However I'm curious why the weather sealed feature for water resistance was omitted. The Pixel 5 is smaller and $200 more than the 4a 5G with few Spec differences, so mentioning the weather sealing helps to explain both the cost and sound/speaker differences between the two devices. I enjoyed your review and I subscribed as I look forward to watching future reviews that you post!

I understand the convenience of water resistance and wireless charging, but for $200? Am I missing something? What makes the Pixel 5 better?
