Google Pixel 5 hands-on: Your Questions ANSWERED! | TotallydubbedHD By totallydubbedHD

Who would have thought that a video that I uploaded 22 hours ago got over 80 000 views for a channel of my size. That's massive, and your support is very much appreciated. So thank you for that now in this video, as the title would suggest, I'm going to be answering all your questions that you've posed, and yes, there have been over five to 600 comments across different social media platforms and including on YouTube. I've been trying to respond to pretty much all of them to the best of my ability now before continuing. If you do have Instagram again I'd very much appreciate as follows it's totally dubbed and if you're interested in all electric or hybrid vehicles do follow totally levee. Your support would be very much appreciated.

So without further ado, let's get into your questions so, first off how on earth did I get the pixel 5, and why haven't other YouTubers posted anything about it? Well, quite frankly, I can't speak for other YouTubers. All I can say is that Vodafone sent me the phone. There was no embargo or no NDA, and I confirmed this today with Vodafone. So all I'm aware of is that I am free rein to post anything. I want about the pixel 5.

Now. The only issue over here is that some people have been asking for extraction of apps now, while the phone hasn't been released, yet I'm a little hesitant in doing that and as such, I have asked Vodafone for approval for me to extract APKs such as the camera APK. So that is just my stance on it and just my kind of integrity that I feel like I want to hold. So next up is the build quality. Well, what I can say is that the build quality of the phone is very good.

I'm just going to go quiet and literally try and scratch the phone with my well pretty cut nails. So hopefully that gives you an indication of how the actual back feels like it feels somewhat textured and yet feels quite nice. It is a little slippery, but it isn't as slippery as some of its competitors, namely those with glass backs. Now the fingerprint positioning is perfect, although it's pretty sensitive as it's not really indented, it can be sometimes mistakenly touched and where you've got pull down notifications that can be a little of a pain other than that when it comes to the phone itself, the phone feels really lightweight and a feels of a good size. So if I just compare it over here with my s10, you can see over here, the size of the phone is well a little elongated, but over here the pixel 5 has just got a really nice weight to a nice size and therefore allowing for very easy one-handed operation.

So next up is the battery share, which is basically what it can do with wireless charging. Now you have to enable the option which is battery share over here. If I just open up the option you can see over here as a stop battery, when phone reaches a certain percentage, I've got it at 10. So now, if I just put the phone down and put my s10 plus, it's sometimes a little sensitive as to where it actually picks up. I think that's either to do with the s10 plus or even to do with um with the pixel 5, but it does charge it's just there you go, you can see.

It's then picking up something a little easier. Is my limestone track air plus, and you can see right there that is accepting a charge. So it's charging my true wireless earbuds. If I get it off, you can see that the indicator goes off. So, yes, you can wirelessly charge and, yes, it does work and there are no issues whatsoever.

We're doing that. You do feel a little of warmth. Um just bear that in mind, uh with it's all an aluminum design. Now next up, we've got speakers. Well, there are two speakers as far as I'm aware, there's a downward firing right speaker over here and there's another one which is positioned somewhere over here under the display.

As far as I'm aware, that's what I found when I put my ear towards the um, the smartphone, because there's no speaker grill at the top or anything like that. So here I've got my friend's song called um falling by Priya j. I'm just going to play a little of this and then play it on my s10 plus and now with the s10 plus. So what I will say subjectively as an audio file myself, is that the uh smartphone itself has well tiny speakers um upon first impressions. The speaker over here doesn't sound too great and the one underneath it well is downward firing.

So, if you're going to be holding in your hand, it's going to be well covered up from that, regardless of that, the sound is a little tinny. The bass is somewhat um subdued, and it just doesn't sound as lifelike as my Samsung Galaxy, s10 plus, and I'm not sure if my microphone picked that up properly, but you should take my word for it. Uh for having the phone in person now next up, we've got the display, which is a six inch OLED. Well, what I will say over here is that the display does look perfect, and some people have been asking in terms of its uniformity well from uniformity check. I found it to be absolutely incredibly great and in terms of viewing angles, it's perfect, although there is a very slight tint at extreme angles, a slight yellowish tint at extreme angles, which, to be honest with you, is very much the case with a lot of sleds out there.

Unless you go to super AMOLED now in terms of brightness, the phone will get up to 483 nits in normal mode, as in the maximum brightness shoved all the way to the top, and when, if you were to reduce the brightness, all the way down it'll get down to two knits, then, if you are to enable adaptive, brightness and shove a light at it. So, for example, another smartphone light towards the top of the phone which, where I think is the sensor, then it'll get to 670 nits, which is actually outstanding in terms of its lowest black level, put on maximum or minimum brightness on a full black screen. It gets to zero nits exactly, and that is no surprise again, given that it's an OLED screen, super AMOLED also perform in this sort of manner. Now I should also say about the display settings now you can see over here. You've got a mode which has smooth display that's to flick between the 60, hertz, toggle and 90 hertz.

So, you can save yourself some battery if you prefer running at 60 hertz over 90 hertz through certain apps that support it, such as the system now as with developer options for those people who are wondering if I just go into system and developer options. There is also a mode over here where you enables you to force that 90 hertz to be in play pretty much all the time, so you can see, show refresh rate, and you've got forced 90, hertz refresh rate, so you can have that enabled as well and now what about when it comes to speed. Now you have to bear in mind that I've done already one of the benchmarks, but what about when it comes to real world usage? Well after using it for about a day after fully setting it up, I must say it's very fluid. I have no issues when it comes to transitioning between apps and say, for example, going on Instagram here, pressing a thing going on there going back and then now, let's say going on to a game such as Pok?mon Go. You can see over here it scales, properly open up, let's say: go on a Pok?mon and try and catch it, so it just is very fluid.

I have no issues when it comes to its performance, um and again that's upon first impressions, and it seems like the huge amount of ram that's been shoved onto this pixel 5 is actually a pretty good thing because well it helps it in terms of being fluid with multiple different tabs. So again, like opening up a tab on totally levee. You can see over here there are no issues whatsoever when it comes to doing that. So in terms of bloodless and responsiveness. The first impressions that I can give you are that it feels very fluid.

I have no issues whatsoever and qualms of the fact that it's using a lower tier snapdragon processor over let's say a more flagship processor that you'd find in let's say my Samsung Galaxy s10 plus now in terms of battery usage. What I've done is just about an hour ago. I plugged it into charge, and you can see right now. It's at 85 percent, with very light usage, and over here you can see the battery usage. You can see it's very little.

That's been that's been used um at the moment, and you can see it's sitting at 85 percent, one hour and 17 minutes ago, when it was at 100 and it is claims. It's got.22 hours left again. First, impressions of the battery are okay, but they're, not amazing in comparison to some of its competitors, for example the s10 plus that I have, even though that's pretty old. I feel that the battery life on the s10 plus is just slightly better than the pixel 5. , and now we get onto the camera app, which has also been very much requested by a lot of people.

Now, in terms of the camera app itself, you can see, you've got a variety of different modes. You've got portrait, camera night sight as well, video too and then in terms of the more you've got panorama photo sphere, slow motion, time-lapse and lens. Now, as for the camera, if you were to zoom out or zoom out it's going to zoom in, if you zoom out, you can see, you've got 0.6 now the adjust you can adjust the slider, and you can see, there's a little transition gap as it's switching between the two lenses over here under 0.9 percent and one percent, there's a slight shift, and then you can zoom in all the way to seven percent so just worth. Bearing that in mind, there's no way of just quickly toggling to make sure that it goes to its default lens, unlike other phones, where you've got a little option at the top over here, you can see. You've got the flash.

The motion photo if you have to enable it or disable it the ratio full or wide crop. So just that to bear in mind, and as for the settings itself, you can see save location, camera sounds Google Lens suggestions, framing hints, selfie suggestions, gestures in terms of the photo as well the photo resolution, full resolution or medium resolution. Video stabilization is enabled by default, and then you got the audio zoom as well. So you can. You can see that that's options there.

Now, if I switch to video and do the same thing, if I just go into the settings over here, you can see you got FHD 60fps and 4k 60fps. Now it's worth bearing in mind that in the ultra-wide mode you can't do ultrawide mode in 4k 60fps. However, you can do it at 4k 30fps, so you can see over here. Ultrawide is enabled, and if I go into FHD at 60fps and at 30fps, you do have the ultra-wide mode enabled so that that lens or that that that sensor should, I say, is capable of doing that so 4k 30fps for ultra-wide anything above that, in terms of you, don't want the ultra-wide, then you can run it at 4k 60fps. You can see.

The option is grayed out in terms of these settings over here very much the same thing, there's nothing that changes and again the video stabilization is on and off. You can enable or disable that. So what about some more camera shots? Well here they are. What you'll see again is a comparison between the s10 plus and the pixel 5, which the former is because I simply have that phone while I don't have a bunch of other phones lying around now. What you'll see on your screen is that the pixel 5 is seriously impressive, and it does really blow my mind as to how good it does.

While I did pictures with the Audi e-tron and yes shout out to totally levee again, if you know you want pictures that are good, then the pixel 5 honestly blows my mind specifically in this shot. When it comes to macros, it's just done an incredible job in terms of processing the photo in terms of processing the photo just a FYI. When you do take the picture, when you go into your gallery, it processes it really quickly. The only one which took really long time to process was a really long time. In all you know things considered was the panorama shot, so the panorama shot was just taken a little of while to stitch up and uh process.

But honestly, this was under two seconds in total and again very much impressive. As for its zoom um again here, this does support up to seven times of zoom, and here again the pixel does perform extremely well, although it doesn't offer as much zoom as the s10 plus, which goes up to ten times zoom now in terms of low-light performance. Here you can see I've put my little baby Yoda and my chimp. Yes way before they became a meme and popular in a very dark cabinet. Yes, I feel sorry for them too.

Now what I did is first took a picture in complete pitch black without any sort of lighting, and you can see it's pretty dark to say the least on both phones. Then I enabled uh flash on both phones, and then I enabled night sight- and here is where the pixel, which is kind of renowned for really did, perform extremely well by providing a really nice reproduction of the uh to two subjects: aka baby, Yoda and chimp in a small little cabinet. Now, aside from all the jokes uh, the cameras are extremely impressive, as in the rear-facing cameras, but what about the front-facing cameras? Well, I did some pictures already, but here's some more portrait photos. So here I've done a portrait photo with it. On and off.

You can see the differences, because the pixel outputs two photos per portrait and also taking regular selfies outside of portrait mode. So, to give you an idea of how it looks like in lower light conditions, the portrait mode or sorry selfie mode on both cameras do struggle, and yet again the pixel does do a little of a better job in comparison to the s10 plus now you're on wondering what about video? Well, don't worry again. I've got you covered because I did a few edge more videos, and here they are recording right now at 4k, 60fps, video stabilization default on the pixel 5, and it's disabled on the Samsung Galaxy s10, plus just going to come into a closer shot. Let's give you an idea of how it focuses and get even closer here, we're looking at one to two centimeters. If that there we go and then go back up, gives you an idea of that recording right now at 4k, 60fps video stabilization default on the pixel 5, and it's disabled on the Samsung Galaxy s10, plus just going to come into a closer shot.

Just give you an idea of how it focuses and get even closer here, we're looking at one to two centimeters. If that there we go and then go back up gives you an idea of that recording at 1080p 60fps stabilization is enabled on both devices, so I'm now just walking normally, and now I'm just going to run. The pixel 5 is looking like it's doing a great job, that's stabilizing with the as and there we go recording at 1080p.60Fps stabilization is enabled on both devices. So I'm now just walking normally, and now I'm just going to run. Pixel 5 is looking like it's doing a great job, that's stabilizing with the as and there we go so here's a video at 1080p 60fps with the ultra-wide camera and what we're going to do now, we're at 0.6 I'm just going to zoom in at one time, I'm going to zoom in even more and that's three times its maximum zoom getting absolutely soaked over here by the way. So, hopefully you can see how it's adjusting between the lenses dynamically as I'm continuing to walk by the way I haven't stopped walking while shooting this video back to one times over.

Here there you go a little change of light there. A change of aperture, again 1080p 60fps with the ultrawide test, so hopefully those videos gave you a little of indication of how the video stabilization is on the pixel 5. I'm pretty impressed with them subjectively speaking, but I'll, be very much intrigued to hear your thoughts now. What I will say after a day of usage in terms of my again first impressions is that the smartphone is really responsive. It's got an excellent camera and its biometrics are fantastically amazingly quick.

It also supports fast charging and wireless charging in terms of in and out bound and on the whole, I'm just pretty impressed by it. So is it a phone that you should buy again? This is not my verdict. It's just my first impressions. Well, there are certain things you should consider the phone speakers are not that great. It's got a limitation of 1080p at 30fps for its front-facing camera.

It's got no dual lens either for its front-facing camera. So in terms of wide wider selfies like with a group of people, it's not got a 3.5 millimeter jack. It's not got dual sim or expandable storage and its fingerprint sensor, while it is very responsive, could have been a little more indented. So, you don't accidentally graze upon it. Each time you're touching the back of your phone and therefore expanding your notifications.

If you have that option enabled that is or use it, but that's pretty much it. Let me know in the comments below what you make of it, and I'd very much appreciate your support by subscribing and liking and, of course, favorite and sharing there we go guys. I've been totally dubbed take care and bye.
