Like • Nice screen • Speedy performance • IP67 water-resistant • Affordable price Don't like • No wireless charging • 5G support in the US is unclear Update, July 21, 2022: Google has since replaced the Pixel 5A with 5G with the Pixel 6A. You can read our full Pixel 6A review for the latest model. Last year's review of the Pixel 5A with 5G continues unchanged below. Google's $449 Pixel 5A with 5G is the second major Pixel announcement this year, hot on the heels of the Pixel 6 teaser earlier this month. It features a Qualcomm Snapdragon 765G processor that powers a 6.34-inch OLED display. The phone also has IP67 water- and dust-resistance. So while Google's highest-end Pixel 6 and 6 Pro phones will include the new in-house Tensor chip, the 5A (as I'll call it from now on) will have more in common with last year's Pixel 4A 5G. For Pixel fans with deeper pockets, the Pixel 6 and 6 Pro's chip and redesign could be exciting, but this Pixel likely will be shooting for a more budget-conscious crowd. For the value, it's hard to not like what Google has done with the Pixel 5A. The only real thing holding it back is Google's inability to commit to supporting upcoming 5G networks that are set to start coming online in a few months. If you're looking for a cheaper Pixel, you won't have to wait for the Pixel 6's release date sometime this fall, as the 5A will be released on Aug. 26 and can be bought in the US carrier-unlocked directly from Google or with Google Fi. The phone will also...

Cons • No headphone jack or memory card slot. Lovers of small Android Design and Features Google is going for a more modern look for the Pixel 3. The entire back is glass, but most of it uses a proprietary matte finish while the top is left glossy. The front is protected by a pane of Gorilla Glass 5. Color options include black, white, and a very light pink that Google calls "Not Pink." The bezels have been slimmed down from the Google Pixel 3 and Pixel 3 XL Despite being covered in glass and having a smooth coating along its aluminum sides, the Pixel 3 doesn't feel slippery thanks to its soft-touch finish. The white model we tested didn't pick up fingerprints or scratches while we used it, but you can always throw on a case if you're worried. Google's distinctive fabric cases (not included) are a particularly nice option. As far as buttons and ports go, there are no surprises here. There's a USB-C port on the bottom for charging next to a SIM card slot. There's no expandable storage, which has always been the case for Google's Pixel/Nexus line. The fingerprint sensor on the back is within easy reach. And you won't find a 3.5mm headphone jack, but you do get a USB-C dongle along with a pair of wired USB-C Left to right: Pixel 3 XL, Pixel 3 A somewhat stiff power button and volume rocker are on the right side. The former is brightly colored (lime green in the case of the white Pixel 3), making it stand out from the rest of the phone. Double pressing it allows you to quickly...

The result isn’t simply the In the UK, you can still readily find the Pixel 4a, as Google didn't release the Pixel 5a in that market. There’s only one configuration of this $349 device with 128GB of storage.That's a $50 drop from the price of the Pixel 3a when that phone debuted in 2019. (We've got a look at all the differences between those two phones in our We reviewed the Just Black version. After this review went live, Google released a Barely Blue color option that's exclusive to its online store but seems to have sold out. As with all Pixel phones, there’s no microSD expandability here, so having all that space available from the get go is certainly useful. The Google Pixel 4a review: Design If you’ve seen Google’s Pixel phones in recent years, you know they don’t tend to take risks in terms of design. At a time when Mountain View’s competitors began churning out devices with miniscule bezels, massive multi-lens cameras and hole-punch front-facing shooters, the latest Pixels have been r...

Google's Pixel phones are Don’t fret—we’re going to break down the differences between the best Pixel phones and sort out the right one for you. We also have Pixel-exclusive tips to help you get the most out of your new phone, and we recommend some cases and accessories we’ve tested if you want protection. Updated May 2023: We’ve added the Pixel 7A, mentioned the Pixel Fold, and added a Totallee case. Its design and build quality are similar to its predecessor, though Google claims the aluminum mid-frame is slightly more durable. There's still Gorilla Glass 3 on the front screen, which isn't as scratch-resistant as some of the glass on pricier Pixels, but at least the rear is a plastic composite that feels luxe and won't crack. This model comes in Charcoal, Sea, and Snow, but there's a You won't run into any problems with performance. It's powered by Google's Tensor G2 chipset, which is the same one that's inside the Pixel 7 Pro. It's plenty fast for everyday tasks and most mobile gaming, and it also allows for a few new software tricks, like Photo Unblur, which can use machine learning algorithms to unblur people's faces in those late-night pics. (It actually did this really well when I tried to capture a photo of a bride and groom on the dance floor!) Speaking of the camera system, there's a new 64-megapixel camera leading the pack with a 13-megapixel ultrawide, and while these are not as good as the cameras in the Pixel 7, the results are nearly imperceptible (you have ...
