Abstract: Google’s approach to its Pixel devices has always been a bit puzzling. You can’t accuse it of not taking its phones seriously; it markets them fairly heavily, ensures that they have strong operator partnerships when they launch (at least in the few countr...
The Pixel 5 is a rather different proposition from Google - a phone that compromises to hit a lower price point - yet its strengths and weaknesses are in the same areas as its predecessors - its superb screen quality and so-so sound performance respective...
No optical zoom, Not much better than the Pixel 4a 5G, Relatively small screen,
The Pixel 5 offers more of the same from the Pixel series, keeping the best bits of the Pixel 4 - excellent photo-taking, clean software - and packaging it in a cheaper phone. It's not perfect though, and the competition around this particular price point...
Cheaper than last year's Pixel 4, Substantial battery life boost, Camera continues to impress
Utilitarian design, No face unlock, Lacks ‘XL' version this year
Mirroring the Nexus phones of old, Google is finally shifting the Pixel's focus from the high-end and closer in line with mid-range prices. And, after a few years of trying and failing to compete with more expensive handsets like the iPhone, it's a smart...

IP68 dust/water protection,Great display,Plenty of power,Free from bloat,All-round camera performance
Its larger sibling - the 4a 5G - is cheaper and much the same,Speaker quality is poor,No zoom camera
The Pixel 5 is something of an oddball. On one level, this is a very competent phone. It has the power, camera, performance and the build quality to offer a great experience. It's close to a flagship experience and for those wanting a compact device, it's...
Typically fantastic Pixel camera, Improved video recording features, Far better battery life than Pixel 4, Small design is refreshing, The price is great,
Design a little bland, An XL version would have been a nice option, Cameras lack the versatility of some rivals, No face unlock,
For £599 (or $699) the Pixel 5 is a surprisingly excellent deal, especially for those who desire a smaller phone and put camera prowess over gaming performance. ProsTypically fantastic Pixel cameraImproved video recording featuresFar better battery life t...

Consistent camera quality, Uncluttered take on Android, Gets the essentials right
Performance only average, Hardware doesn't excite like previous Pixels, No 3.5mm jack, expandable storage
With fewer attention-grabbing features than previous models, and hardware that's a distinct step down from today's flagships, the Pixel 5 is about as mainstream as Google's phones have been for some time. It still takes excellent photos, is quick enough...
