Google Pixel 5 review

This year, Google has taken a drastically different approach with the Pixel lineup. They've focused on providing a great user experience without maxing...

Less bezel, more screen, more pocketable

Snapdragon 765G performance is severely handicapped in this phone

Google's implementation of Android 11 on the Pixel 5 is smooth and consistent - perhaps the best stock Android has ever gotten. It will be interesting to see Google's next step from here, but the Pixel 5 is a great first move for a lineup that's bound...

Google Pixel 5 review: Google’s best tech, condensed for convenience

The Pixel 5 won't turn heads with stunning looks, but it will perform better than many other more expensive phones. Here's our review of this compact winner.

Compact and lightweight ; Detailed 90Hz screen ; Highly capable camera ; Two-day battery life

Dull design ; Missing that special quirky Google feature

Google Pixel 5 Review

Excellent cameras ; Top-notch software experience ; Durable build ; Long battery life ; Approved for C-band connectivity

Lackluster audio quality ; Unimpressive processor for the price

The Google Pixel 5 delivers 5G connectivity, excellent cameras, long battery life, and an outstanding Android software experience for a relatively affordable price.

Google Pixel 5 review: new phone, old tricks

The camera is still good, but this is a very utilitarian phone.

Excellent photos, especially in the dark ; Clean, simple Android software experience ; Good battery life

Slow image processing ; The mmWave tax increases the price ; Panel audio “speaker” is weak and tinny for video and games

The new Google Pixel 5 is $699, and it has 5G. It’s also a return to Google’s technology tricks: a great camera and a rear-mounted fingerprint sensor. The slower processor means this isn’t a flagship phone, but it’s still quite good.

The Google Pixel 5: A Mini-Review - Small Package, Small Value?

It's been a couple of months now since Google announced the Pixel 5 – Unfortunately we didn't quite get to a timely review of the device due to other important industry coverage. Today I wanted to revisit the phone in a briefer format review,...

Pixel 5 review: Taking on the mid-range with an excellent camera

The Pixel 5 represents a shift in strategy for Google. Priced at $699, instead of targeting high-end flagships, the Pixel 5 is poised to compete with "affordable flagship" phones like the OnePlus 8T. Unfortunately, that The Pixel 5 represents a shift...

Excellent rear camera ; Metal body doesn’t leave behind fingerprints ; Great display ; Solid performance ; Clean Android experience with frequent updates

No telephoto zoom ; Priced too high to be competitive ; No XL option ; No face unlock

The Pixel 5 is a great phone, as long as you don’t mind some compromises

Google Pixel 5 Review: Brilliant but outshined

Google's Pixel 5 is an interesting device. In many ways, it embodies the ideals cultivated by the Pixel series over the past few years, focusing on the slick software and great camera that made past Google phones dynamic and inviting. But equipped with...

Lightweight, elegant design; Crisp, bright display; Versatile camera & excellent photos; Great battery life with wireless charging + power share; Clean, fast software

Midrange chipset on a flagship; No optical zoom ; The Pixel 4a (5G) does most of this for $200 less
