Release date

October 30, 2020

The Pixel 5 is the latest flagship device from Google and is also the device that has broken the flagship mould in many ways. It’s one of the most interesting phones being released this year. Featuring a 6 inch OLED display with a 90Hz refresh rate, the Pixel 5 stands out from its predecessors. It still features a physical fingerprint reader in the back, a 40% larger battery, a body that is actually smaller than the Pixel 4, 8GB of RAM and 128 GB of storage and 5G compatibility. It also features IP 68 rating for water and dust resistance as well as wireless charging and reverse wireless charging. At just $799 CAD, the Pixel 5 is the premium Android phone of choice for most people.

  1. Excellent cameras: The Pixel line has always been known for its cameras and the Pixel 5 is no exception. The Pixel 5 features, for the first time, an ultra-wide 16 MP rear camera with advanced video stabilisation for enhanced video performance. For the rest, it continues the excellent work that we have come to expect from Pixel’s cameras.
  2. Good Battery Life: With a 4000 mAh battery, the Pixel 5 manages to cram a 40% larger battery within a body that is smaller than last year’s Google Pixel 4. With the Snapdragon 765G processor to power and some smart battery adaptive technology, the Pixel 5 promises an easy full day battery life and maybe 2-day battery life when necessary!
  3. Excellent overall package: Google seems to have listened to user feedback and has fixed all the most common complaints that Pixel users had - insufficient RAM and a less than average battery life. By fixing those two issues as well as including perks like wireless charging and water resistance, it is hard to see what is lacking in the Pixel 5.

  1. Snapdragon 765G processor: It’s worth mentioning that while most premium flagships today feature a Snapdragon 865 processor, the Pixel 5 only features a Snapdragon 765G processor. However, multiple reports suggest that the 765G offers very little disadvantages compared to the 865 chipsets and has the added advantage reducing the phone’s price. The only time the 765G chip is said to show its weakness is when playing GPU intensive 3D games. So if you are an avid mobile gamer, this is something to keep in mind, but if not, then you will most likely never notice the difference.
