After officially presenting the Google Pixel 4a, Google has just made the Pixel 5 official. It is the company’s best mobile for 2020 and, although it is technically the successor to the Google Pixel 4, it is not a high-end proposal. Despite this, the camera is still the main pillar in this phone.
So let’s review the characteristics and technical specifications of this Google Pixel 5, a terminal that, despite not being the most powerful, comes to stand up to higher priced mobiles, and that he will try to make us fall in love, one more year, based on computational photography.

The first mobile with symmetrical frames is a Pixel
It has taken years, but the Google Pixel 5 is the first Android mobile with four symmetrical bezels, without any chin. Such is the frontal use that it manages to have a height of only 14.7 centimeters with a six-inch screen diagonal. In this case, the Pixel 5 is built from recycled aluminum, rather than plastic.
The front part is thus starred by symmetry, although with a small hole in the screen, while the rear is somewhat simpler, with the camera module and the rear reader as the protagonists.
The Pixel 5 panel is OLED, with Full HD + resolution and a 90Hz refresh rate. Its diagonal is only 6 inches, thus being one of the most compact mobiles in its price range. It has Always On Display technology.
As for its heart, we find a Snapdragon 765G, 8 GB of RAM and a 4,080mAh battery with 18W fast charging. This is the highest amperage seen in a Pixel, something that added to the OLED and “only” a 6-inch diagonal, should offer good autonomy.
Out of the box with Android 11
As is customary in Pixels, the latest version of Android comes from the factory. The Google Pixel 5 comes out of the box with Android 11 customized by Google. This translates into greater integration with the Google Assistant, promised three years of monthly system updates and security patches.
Double chamber to reign in quadruple chamber terrain
“Main camera, ultra wide angle camera, macro and depth sensor”. It is difficult to find a mid-range that breaks out of this pattern, but the pixel does. The Google Pixel 5 bets on the two main sensors: the classic 12 megapixel sensor and a new 16 megapixel sensor for the wide angle. Although it does not have a telephoto lens, the zoom is in charge of the Super High Res Zoom, Google’s computational interpretation to magnify without loss.
The selfie is only 8 megapixels, although Google has shown excellent results on mobiles like the Google Pixel 4a. As is usual, Google bets on computational photography to enhance the results of your sensors.
