Google Pixel 5: Cheaper than the Pixel 4 but just as impressive, the Pixel 5 is a class act

Google Pixel 5 Review

The Pixel 5 is a pleasure to use thanks to clever software tweaks and a well-optimised marriage of Android and the Pixel hardware. This is easily one of the year's best phones.

Google Pixel 5 review

The Pixel 5 doesn't pretend to compete with the most powerful phones on the market, because it doesn't have to. It's perhaps the most balanced Android phone to date, not to mention a great choice for those after a capable small phone, 5G phone or camera phone.

Google Pixel 5 5G (128GB, Just Black) AU - Excellent review

At the end of the day, the Pixel 5 is one impressive little phone. While it removes much of what made the previous Pixel innovative, Google has nailed what a phone should be these days. This is a Pixel that delivers, and that’s what we want.

Google Pixel 5 Phone review

The Pixel 5 has a lot to prove. Google’s 2020 flagship not only needs to convince shoppers to open their wallets in an unusually challenging year, but demonstrate that the sins of last year’s Pixel 4 are not to be repeated.

Google Pixel 5 Review: Soft Reboot

Google’s latest Pixel is more interested in being better value than just plain better. Rather than raise the price and stakes, the follow-up to last year's Pixel 4 drops a few thrills, learns a few new tricks and tries to position itself as the no-compromise candidate for those who want a premium Android experience but don’t want to spend upwards of $1000. It’s a soft reboot that’s iterative and familiar enough to satisfy fans but still cheap enough to entice newcomers.

But after using the $699 Pixel 5 for nearly a month now, I can confidently say that it feels like Google is onto something with the new approach. Instead of throwing all the technological wonders the company is working on into a compact device, Google took a step back with Pixel 5, reverting to...

Google Pixel 5 review

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 for most users and does the basics extremely well. 5G support also ensures it's fairly future-proof - but rivals offer the tempting choice of more cutting-edge hardware or unbeatable performance. A OnePlus Nord packs almost as much punch for nearly half the price, while Samsung's Galaxy S20 5G FE gets a top-end CPU for only £100 more. For the truly budget-conscious, a Pixel 4a 5G seems to make more sense. For some, the appeal of fast and guaranteed software updates will outweigh the Pixel's limitations - but we think they'll probably be in the minority.
