Weekly poll: is the Pixel 5 or Pixel 4a 5G your next phone?

04 October 2020
These two have a lot of similarities but also many differences. Are they competitive against other models on the market?

Sort by:

Another mindless poll from GSM Arena. They really need someone who understand sociology and polling - I have the education for that but I guess they don't care.

This poll is missing at the very least three crucial options:
* Google Pixel without Snapdragon 865+, are you kidding me?
* I already own a previous gen Pixel, not gonna upgrade yet
* I'm fully content with my current phone, don't need a Pixel

    I am getting Pixel 5.
    It's not available in my country (yet), but I am using basic mailboxde service as a dumb workaround.
    I do not care for 5G through.

      I vote for the 5, but that's not completely true. If i was at gunpoint and had to buy a Pixel to save my life, that's when I'd buy one.
      The 5 actually is very close to what I want from a phone. Small dimensions, flat display, big battery, great camera, light software. I could also not care for the lack of SD card and the less than powerful CPU. What I cannot accept in any way is the price, it's just ridiculous for that specs.

        I'd get pixel 5 but it's unavailable in my country.

          No. My choice:

          First, all Pixel series are not official come to Indonesia.
          Second, I could choose Oppo series that support Super VOOC charge with price cheaper than those.

I hope I'm not disappointed, I know it's not got the top end processor and I'm not too bothered, as long as it's a smooth experience then I'm happy. Are you going to give it a miss then at that price?

                It would be nexus 2021, if Google knew how to make phones again.

                Once pixel, never pixels again.

                  i think there should be a fifth option: there are better alternatives.

I think the pixel 5 hits all the right marks, maybe except the CPU. Giving a price tag of 100$ less would have been the sweet spot!

                            Pixel 5 is only 144mm tall. Could this be a phone to use with only 1 hand?

Plus it's a joke that the other S20 models in the UK have the inferior Exynos chip, don't like how Samsung have been doing this for years. Keep the specs the same on the whole range.

                                  even if someone gives a Pixel phone to me for free, I wouldn't take it..

                                    Basically Samsung just dominates on the android side this year. The s20 fe, their mid-range lineup and their expensive stuff have all been great this year.
