Google
Pixel 5
The Google Pixel 5 is a compact, affordable flagship with some
compromises

OUR VERDICT
The Google Pixel 5 loses some of the more advanced features
of its predecessor in order to keep the cost down, and the result is a
streamlined phone with great camera software and a clean Android interface. But
without some of those premium perks, like a telephoto lens, that appear in
other handsets at the same price tier, the Pixel 5 struggles to distinguish
itself from the competition. It is a good handset at a consumer-pleasing price
– but that's true of other 2020 phones, too.
FOR
• Camera
software is better than ever
• Metal case is
refreshing change from glass
• Clean Android
interface
AGAINST
• No telephoto
camera
• Middling
night photography
Should
you buy the Google Pixel 5?

Buy it if...
You like shooting and editing
photos
The Pixel 5 doesn't have a wide
array of rear cameras, but its photo software is great – especially in the ways
it enables you to edit images after taking them.
You want a small-format
flagship phone
The Pixel 5 can be used one-handed with relative ease, which isn't the case
with most flagship phones, and it won't take up too much space in pockets or
bags.
You want a pure Android
experience
The Google Pixel 5 runs Android
11, one of the first phones to do so, and as ever on Pixel phones and it's not
bloated with superfluous apps, settings, or other interface extras.
Don't buy it if...
You want the most powerful
phone out there
The Pixel 5 is speedy, but it's
not as fast as the most powerful phones out there, like the Samsung Galaxy Note
20 Ultra.
You want the best phone cameras
The Pixel 5 takes great photos,
but it doesn't have the most advanced suite of lenses. If you want strong zoom
photography, opt for a phone with telephoto lenses, like the Samsung Galaxy S20
line.
You want the biggest screen out
there
The Pixel 5 has a great 6-inch screen, but it's easily dwarfed by bigger phones
like the similarly-priced Samsung Galaxy S20 Fan Edition and
the 6.55-inch OnePlus 8T, or at a higher price, the
6.7-inch Samsung Galaxy S20 Plus.
