Google Pixel 5 review

25 October 2020
This year, Google has taken a drastically different approach with the Pixel lineup. Rather than pack a new Pixel phone with a high-end chipset and QHD screen, Google has instead gone the route of focusing on the overall experience. The Google Pixel 5 is this year’s Pixel flagship and there are some major changes for 2020.

          Anonymous, 25 Oct 2020But did you mention the price difference between the phones? What does that have to do with its battery life in context of reviewers over egging the pudding?

            You can force apply a constant 90Hz refresh rate if you enable Developer Options and toggle-ON the appropriate setting in Developer Options. You can Google “How to enable Developer Options on a Pixel phone”.

              The pixel 4a didn't have a battery issue either. It last much longer than my s10+ using it the same way. And the biggest difference is that, if not using it and only have it stand by it lasts for days..

                    Anonymous, 25 Oct 2020Man pixel is costly garbage. Midrangers with premium price... moreI want this but with the Snapdragon 8 series

                      Still the best software android experience of any phones, still the best still camera, but moving from 8 series to 7 series is bound to give some performance drops and the device won't be as good in long term. Also, I hope the main problem with the Pixels is taken care of, that is of the Quality Control which plagued all the Pixel devices released to date, but with the Pixel 5 display and chassis reports it seems the QC issues are still persisting.

                        Bought the Pixel 5 for 599£ with the included Bose 35 ii . I've sold the headphones sealed for 200£ so in the end the Pixel costed me 400£ , the right price for this phone.
