Good catch 😂

Wow what a liar lmao

You prob should pin this else it'll get buried

Thank God , cause I love my pixel 4a but it is a tad slow.

Well, yes but they perform the same. Even benchmarks show same numbers

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

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.

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.

@@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.

@@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 KZfaqrs (which live off Google and KZfaq) 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.

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

@@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.

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.

​@@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.

Non users judge Pixel like another Android phone but it's not it's a Pixel.

Very true. Not sure how I forgot that despite mentioning that on my 4a review. Great catch!

Hey I am doing reviews as well so if you like come and check them out :) I upload new Videos every Sunday and you might want to sub and like to not miss out on any

@@TheProductReviewer no

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.

Oxygen OS (OnePlus) competes with it for sure.

newest sony xperias have almost stock android experience.

I've tried stock android on my OG pixel but honestly, as a somewhat heavy user, I prefer Samsung's One UI.

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.

Spoiled? You pay $699 just to get mediocre experience? I can get an iPhone SE FOR $399 and still get the latest chipset and the best camera.

@@victuringan1429 thank you, and this is coming from an 8 year Android user, Google needs to better their spec sheets , and that 3-4 year old camera sensor, what the hell

Are you happy with it? I just ordered the 5 and upgrading from the pixel 2 XL.....

@@Heelfan71 Hi Michael, yes 100% happy with it! Love that I can charge my pixelbuds on the back and links with Pixelbook too (probably would with any chromebook). Took me a little while to get used to the size because it is a little bit smaller than 2XL but I don't even notice that now! Great battery life, I haven't been stuck with low battery at all!

@@seankeogh6186 Thanks for the info Sean......

@@seankeogh6186 Digging mine....only thing I miss from the Pixel 2 XL is squeezing the sides to get to google assistant.....And I keep missing the finger print reader due to the slightly smaller size......I did find a app that may make the side squeeze work....gonna try that and see. android.gadgethacks.com/how-to/bring-back-squeeze-gesture-for-google-assistant-your-pixel-5-no-root-needed-0384110/

@@Heelfan71 glad to hear you like it! I missed the squeezing too at first!

I agree it is a better deal for someone who wants a reliable and takes good pictures Android phone. Just wish the 4a had another camera. The 4a 5G has it but it's more.

@@AppleReviews yes but what about the battery? It's starts from 64 gb which isn't enough

I'm considering between Pixel 5 and 4a but the 3100mAh battery really turns me off.

And u get a better speaker too

@@alifzahid9762 choose the 4a 5g with 4000 mAh battery

I love face unlock on the 4 xl.... and this is why I didn't get the 5...

I was starting to think my p2xl had a problem

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.

@@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. No one really talked about this processing time with previous Pixel phones now they just knit picking just cos it has a SD 765G chip.

@@androguyy yeah anyone who owned anything older than a Pixel 4 has nothing to complain about. Its fine and standard.

i have the Google camera app on my oneplus 7 pro and it does the same

Great review Jimmy. The only things I seem to feel uneasy about is the lack of active edge. That was one of my favourite features on my 2XL. I wonder how the screen resolution compares to the 2XL too.

while i agree with you, to be fair its comparing a 2018 phone to a 2020 phone so really any 2020 phone will be better than the xs max. Im not trying to take away from the p5 quality though, it really is amazing, just probably not the best comparison he used here

IMX 363 from the Pixel 3.

@@Nexifyy Okay I understand your thought process here, but consider that the pixel is using the same sensor for 4 generations and is also retailing for around half the price of what the iPhone XS max did at launch. Thats pretty damn good if you ask me. And if it isn't for you, buy the iPhone.

I went from iphone 7 to 11 pro and lol the camera looks artificial 😩 I have a proper mirrorless camera and it looks more smooth... it looks artificially sharp on the 11 pro lmao... I haven’t tried it properly though, when I go in photographer mode it usually only happens outside. yeah I haven’t been outside 👀

@@Nexifyy I just upgrade my 2XL to the Pixel 5 and my 2XL never took crappy pictures like the Max he used. Never. I'll say it again so you understand. Never.

I did the same thing

@@jacobfiggins Is your upgrade worth it?

@Swagitupson Yeah mate I was sceptical about the speakers, because of the reviews & because I binge watch alot of content. Not as good as px3 speakers but it's decent enough. The slow processor when taking pics don't really bother me & the battery life is really good. My px3 had horrible battery life. I don't really care about high end specs etc this smartphone works in perfect for me

@@BronxN-md6pp would you say speakers are enought to make you think of the 4a5g

@@abbiescabby8644 Not at all. It was either purchase the 5 or wait for the next generation/s

I've also got the OnePlus 7T, but was thinking of upgrading as well, but do I really need to. Apart for the wireless charging and 5G, the 7T, has better spec.

Then ask yourself what else in your life could use that $700 for?!

I have the OnePlus 7 pro and still got the pixel 5. I traded in one of my older Pixels and got $350 off through Verizon. This phone is awesome...if you can get it for the right price I would say go for it.

Same here. I got OnePlus 7pro but I just like Google pixel phone better. Especially the Screen calling and camera

I understand. Totally.

no screen gap issue?

None, had mine since 15 of October

How do you feel losing face unlock? Is it I huge deal?

no wait till black friday and get a good deal with a carrier

Wait till your birthday, Santa loves turkey resolutions

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

@@Lekigamingtelugu 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.

@@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

@Phillip Conroy i had this phone for a week but had to return due to some nasty stuttering that I didn’t expect from a brand new £600 phone. Screen sometimes became almost unresponsive to the touch at times. The under display speaker is noticeably worse during an actual phone call compared to when its playing in sync with the bottom firing speaker. I wasnt a fan of the speaker tbh but its not a deal breaker

It's in the "Come Alive" folder on any pixel phone, maybe search for the collection online if you don't have a Pixel

If the pixel 4 has the battery of the Pixel 5 I would have stuck with that, I had the pixel 4XL but thought it was too big, Pixel 5 is perfect size

I recommend waiting for Black Friday, these phones are notorious for Black Friday sales. That's what I'm doing.

@@MorganWalser Thanks for the advice dude, very much appreciated

Did you get them yet. I've heard you have to wait 2 weeks before you can apply and then it can take up to two months to get them. That is if there are any left.

@@AlexMoscow9mmpr Just apply as soon as you take delivery, they approved mine but still said it would take ages for them to arrive. Their wording seems to vary from two weeks from point of order to two weeks from delivery so I just applied anyway. They text you confirmation.

So true. Also touch sound is too loud, not like the Pixel 2 which I previously had.

@@AlexMoscow9mmpr my headphones turned up within a couple of weeks much quicker than I expected i was impressed

@@henrycwjones Awesome. I've just submitted my claim. Looks like it's all good to go.

Now kiss...

Wait for Black Friday

@@MorganWalser yeah in canada its 800 CAD (about 599 USD) and with the black Friday deal its prob going to be around 600 - 700 CAD (about 450 - 525 USD) with koodo

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

Yes, I did not even need a new phone but bought it as I also had £140 of Google credit and £60 off (cashback for having 2tb ONE). So, net £200 (or less). I do not even have a SIM card in, just use for photos and as a satnav!

Do you regret not going for 4a5g

@@abbiescabby8644 pixel 5 has way better battery

@@yoragamihatsu8057 there is a very small difference in battery and I have seen that it can actually get worse screen on time then the 4a5g because if lower screen refresh rate

Agreed. It's interesting how they seem to be heading back to their "Nexus"-like roots!

Who's watching this on Pixel 5 😁

Thank you for your review. It keeps on being a sticker anyhow. I hope Jimmy reads this 😊 im curious about his review

thanks for the info g

I've used dbrand for a few of my devices

They're bullshit IMO. If you want protection for your phone at least get something certified shock proof like Spigen.

@@kimbo5409 They've never meant to be protective. It has always been sold as a cosmetic makeover for people to personalize their phones with. They do make cases and screen protectors too though, not the best I'm afraid.
