Go for it. Next year I just might with my 2xl. They are so great, and still so widely used that I could see google deciding to go one more year next year. We were supposed to stop getting updates of any kind in October but went through December anyway. Google just switched to four years of updates. That's why I could see them giving the 2xl one more is next year. They are more powerful than anything google offers now in terms of raw brute power. The last true flagship google offered. I don't count the 3xl because all 3 of my 2xl's are faster than my daughter's 3xl. The 845 was either not faster or the phone itself is slower than a 2xl

[@thebarak]

Excellent comparison and a well produced video. I still love my 2XL but my wife just got a 4a5G and that just feels slicker in a very subjective way. For me the dealbreaker is I would like to be able to plug in a charger and also wired headphones at the same time, so I need that jack. I have never got a phone wet so that's a low risk for me.

Oh for sure, everything is definitely going wireless. I was actually surprised that the 4a 5g had a headphone jack. I know what you mean by it feeling sleeker. There's something super nice about it.

[@ahmedbanna8828]

Which is better in selfi ?

[@frankiechan9651]

Love my Pixel 2XL. Still in perfect condition 3 years later, albeit the 64Gb was pretty full. I got lucky and got one of the ones where it looks like they had fixed their initial screen issues. But I want the continuing software updates so bought a 4a 5G a week ago. It was on sale with $100AUD off (P5 is $1000AUD, 4a5g was $800AUD and 4a is $600AUD) - making the value proposition much better. Kind of bummed I missed the boxing day special where it was a further $50 off. A glass screen protector from Spigen was $20, so that makes the Gorilla Glass 3 a non-issue. Case ($20) helps to offset the water resistance thing a touch. 2GB extra RAM makes little difference to my usage. Never had an issue with my USB-C and have lived without wireless charging for this long, so don't miss it now. So I feel I'm still well ahead, and the $300 jump to the P5 just not worth it.

[@benechobox]

What is that charging dock? It look awesome!

[@Franal12]

Good video but pixel 2xl and pixel 5 screen sizes are different since they have different aspect ratios 🙂

[@thehumblecanadian431]

For sure they're definitely different, but pretty darn close.

Wonderful review.

Glad it could help! Appreciate ya dropping by! 😊

We still got a security update of Oct 5 2020, but also Android 11, which is like an extra security update on our XL2. Now looking for a replacement. Not sure to go with the Pixel 6, or 5..

[@faridmdkhalid]

I've just switched to 3XL when my 2XL had problems with its LCD display (and I found out later that to replace the screen will cost me so friggin much)..

[@thehumblecanadian431]

Yeah, sometimes getting phones fixed doesn't make sense. That's why my screen is cracked in this review 😂

[@hjpinhei]

Not sure if it is related to the recording angle or light, but the colors in 4a 5g seem to be a bit more washed out than in 2xl. How do you compare the quality of screens? Some sites say the 5 has more contrast. Do you notice it?

[@thehumblecanadian431]

I didn't notice much of a difference between the screen on the 5 and 4a 5g. Only real thing I noticed was the 4a 5g was a tad "warmer" looking than the 5 but that may just be a slight difference from screen to screen. Both the 5 and 4 have better contrast than the 2xl though, and no weird blue shift at an angle haha

[@long4605]

How the poop can you have a third hand in the middle, where is it coming from?

[@antonlitvinau8142]

Just "upgraded" from 2xl to 5! Quotation marks because i haven't really noticed much difference in camera...unfortunately... But astrophotography is sweet though! Koodo(canadian provider gave me a super sweet deal that i just couldn't pass on:) $360CAD)... And i'm still not sure what to do with my 2xl lol, such a better built device.... 5 is way smoother and faster and size is just right. I just wish the camera was a smidge better.... oh well, it already is perfect.

[@thehumblecanadian431]

Oh wow, yeah that's a fantastic deal on the Pixel 5. Can't complain there.

[@antonlitvinau8142]

@@thehumblecanadian431 I still like the built quality of 2xl vs 5 though.... But, when you put a case on it, all the phones are the same lol

[@thehumblecanadian431]

@@antonlitvinau8142 Very true. I always end up putting a case on my phones. Drop them way too much not to haha

[@hjpinhei]

Do you feel an upgrade in terms of screen quality?

[@antonlitvinau8142]

@@hjpinhei yes, it's definitely brighter 👍 I'm always adjusting it lower haha, cause there's no need for it to be super bright, plus it saves the battery. I'm keeping it at 60 Herz, i don't really need 90 Herz🤷‍♂️ But even though it's the same size display, the 5 is way more friendly in hand. But older pixels definitely had better build quality.

[@shahezahmed9960]

I moved from pixel 2 to pixel 3 to pixel 4 , and I noticed pixel 4 comes out blurry when there is motion and there is a lot of auto white balance issue , pixel 2 didn't have both these issues. Also pixel 4 is sticky in terms of motion metering and auto focus , In terms of taking quick pictures of kids, cars , pet, pixel 2 is still a beast.

[@thehumblecanadian431]

I do miss my Pixel 2XL quite often. I'm planning on moving from the Pixel 5 to the Pixel 7 when it's released. Fingers crossed it's got some nice improvements.

[@shahezahmed9960]

@@thehumblecanadian431 yes i hope 7 improves on the video part to match the iphones level and add macro mode.

Thanks for the video.I'm from Russia.You can use the Google pixel 2 xl until 2023.

[@autisticginger]

great video but uh did you say hard drives? cause phones only use ssd's.

[@thehumblecanadian431]

Haha, you're right bud! I meant SSD. Can you imagine a big ole HD spinning up next to your ear 😂

[@itboy6934]

Many times I thought to upgrade, but then I look at my pixel 2 xl🥴. And change my mind

[@TheJDW]

Can you see the resolution difference? 1440p on 2xl vs 1080p on 5... Do you miss the front firing speakers when holding the phone to watch videos (accidentally covering bottom speaker, etc?

[@thehumblecanadian431]

Hey there! The resolution on the pixel 5 is I believe 1080x2340, which is still plenty, I don't notice a difference at all other than the 5 having nicer colors and no color cast. I do miss the front facing speakers, but it's not as big of a deal as you'd think, at least not for me.

[@TheJDW]

@@thehumblecanadian431 Thanks!

[@Yoshi_Badd]

Love my Pixel 2XL

[@ouzahorpamu7271]

Well if you still have a 2XL and you don't want to pay a lot of money your best option is to get a 3XL because I used to have a 3XL last year and the photos that it took were amazingly good and you want really see a big difference between the 3XL 4XL and the 5 except when it comes to ultra wide shots taken on the 5

Hi From Greece Nice videos! Please Help,i have pixel xl 2 ( Love it) should i upgrade to pixel xl 4 or 5 ? if you find time answer me thanks!

[@thehumblecanadian431]

I have the 4a 5G and the 5, but I end up using the 5 more because I actually like the smaller feel now. But it's really a personal preference thing. Do you enjoy a bigger screen or a smaller phone while keeping the same screen space as the 2xl?

[@Isolation75]

@@thehumblecanadian431 thank you very much for the feedback,i like more big screens

Right there with ya bud. My poor Pixel 5 got squeezed out of habit 😆

Hey if possible compare the width too, I feel it’s important to know when you have small hands like me

Question is how are most people's oled screen on the 2xl? no burn in?

I had none at all. Screen was perfect.

True, and the screen of the 4a 5G. It would practically be perfect.

Hi, can you make a comparison of the cameras?

[@thehumblecanadian431]

Hey Ben! Are you wanting to know how the cameras compare to the 2xl? They're pretty much the same other than the wide lens. I believe it's the same sensor. I could snap some photos and put the downloads in the description of that would help ya out :-)

[@derdummeasi]

@@thehumblecanadian431 its different sensors. It changed with the Pixel 3.

Why did you completely ignore the existence of the 4a?

In Spain is expensive 389€ Pixel 4A without 5G anf Pixel 5 629€ . Google please lower the prices of these phones to 289 and 400e ok?

Hello, can I see that there is an LED in the Google Pixel 4a 5g?

The flash LED on the back? It has that...if that's what you're asking.

[@rybakowy]

@@thehumblecanadian431 I mean the notification LED, on the front next to the top speaker, you can see it at some point in the video.

[@thehumblecanadian431]

@@rybakowy Ah, not that I can find. There is a small LED on the Pixel 5, but it's just a proximity sensor. Maybe the 4a 5G has that. Apparently there are some apps making the screen light up around the pinhole camera for notifications which is pretty cool. Hopefully google does something with that :)

Not the same “usable” screen space. Pixel 2 xl screen ‘width’ is still larger than those 2 phones. The newer 2 phones just have taller screens

[@thehumblecanadian431]

It's a very slight difference. Not enough to sway me either way.
