Design
As far as the overall look of the Pixel 5A is concerned, not a whole lot has changed when you compare it to the Pixel 4a 5G. Technically, it’s slightly taller and slightly narrower, and slightly thicker. The phone has a glass front with a punch-hole in the top-left corner. The back is a matte-textured plastic that wraps around the sides, top, and bottom. On the back panel, the glossy glass-covered camera block at the top-left stands out, and there’s a circular indent in the back-center for the fingerprint sensor. On the right side is the lock button, with a volume rocker below it. On the left side towards the bottom is a SIM slot, while at the top of the phone the microphone is on the right and the 3.5mm headphone jack on the left. For the first time in the a-series phones, the Pixel 5a has dust and water resistance with an IP67 rating, which means it can be submerged in up to one meter of water for half an hour.
Display and OS
The Google Pixel 5a packs a 6.34-inch Full HD Plus OLED display, larger than the one on the Pixel 4a 5G (6.2-inch). The Pixel 5a runs Android 11 out of the box. The phone has sub-6 5G connectivity, and that’s it – unlike some versions of the Pixel 4a 5G, there isn’t any mmWave 5G capability.
Optics
The Pixel 5a comes with the same cameras as the Pixel 4a 5G: a 12.2MP f/1.7 dual-pixel main camera with autofocus and both optical and electronic image stabilization, and a 16MP f/2.2 ultra-wide camera. There’s no telephoto lens (the main camera is capable of up to 7x digital zoom). There’s also an 8MP selfie lens, which takes pretty detailed photos for a front-facing camera, likely thanks to Google’s exemplary image software.
Hardware
The Google Pixel 5a has respectable specs, powered by last year’s Snapdragon 765G chipset – although this is the same silicon that powered the Google Pixel 5 and Google Pixel 4a 5G. In other words, it may not rival flagship phones featuring the latest Snapdragon 888 chipset, but with 6GB RAM and 128GB storage, you’ll have no trouble browsing, playing games, watching videos, and more. One of the most noticeable improvements in the Pixel 5a is its 4,680mAh battery, which has a capacity noticeably higher than the batteries in the Pixel 4a 5G (3,885mAh) and the Pixel 4a (3,140mAh). The phone comes with an 18W fast charging adapter in the box, which is not impressive at all, recharging 33% in 30 minutes.
Verdict
The sum up is Pixel 5a 5G is one of the best mid-rangers and provide you with semi-flagship features. Those who have Pixel 4a 5G and unsatisfied with battery life, you must switch to Pixel 5a – it’s a better deal.
