Google Pixel 5 Unboxing & First Impressions! (Sorta Sage Green) By TechDaily

What's going on guys, my name is wade with tech daily and in this video we're going to be checking out the new Google Pixel 5. Now I have to say right off the bat that I'm personally really excited about this phone. You guys know how much I loved the Pixel 4a from earlier this year and while yes, this new pixel 5, is technically google's the latest flagship phone rather than I think, aiming to compete at some thousand dollar price point. This time around google just decided to take everything that was great about the popular, cheaper Pixel 4a and make a slightly bigger and better phone with this pixel 5. All while, I think, still keeping the price just right, there's. Obviously, some stiff competition this year in that 600 to 700 price range, which is where this phone falls.

So let's go ahead and check this device out and see everything it has to offer. First, things first we'll go ahead and see what all comes inside the package and, of course I want to give a big shout out to the folks over at team pixel, who were kind enough to send this phone over early for me to check out so pulling off the lid of the box. The first thing we see is the phone itself. This year the pixel 5 comes in just two colors, just black and the sorta sage, which is what I have here, and I think this is absolutely the color to go with digging a little deeper inside. The box.

You'll also find a small packet of paperwork and instructions along with a sim ejector tool, and underneath all of that there are a few accessories that come with the phone. The pixel 5 ships with the 18 watt, USB fast charger and USB charging cable, both of which we've seen before and also still included this year. Is that handy little USA to USB dongle, which is helpful for transferring your data from your old phone to your new pixel device with all that stuff out of the way here is the new pixel, 5 and right away? There's a lot to go over with this device, but I first want to talk about the design and build the pixel.5 is a six-inch device by comparison the Pixel 4a came in at just over 5.8 inches, so this phone is a little bigger, but still a comfortable compact device and in a world of six and a half inch smartphones. I think this definitely fills the need for folks who want something they can use easily with one hand and that can also fit more comfortably in a pocket up front. You'll also see that compared to the pixel 4 from last year, this new pixel 5 has really no bezels at all.

You've got a corner camera cut out at the top, not much of a chin at all down below and a pretty high screen to body ratio. Overall, it's certainly a fresh, modern, looking phone from the front and around back, I think it looks pretty good too. The pixel 5 is constructed from recycled aluminum and the metal body and frame are actually covered in a light textured coating. This gives the phone almost a matte feel maybe just slightly rougher, and it feels great in the hand it's sturdy yet still lightweight and premium feeling enough without having to run the risk of a fancy glass back, getting shattered with the first drop and, interestingly enough, even through that metal back, the pixel 5 still offers wireless charging and reverse wireless charging. It's also ip68 water and dust resistant too.

So all in all, you've got the complete package here with a build and taking a look around at everything else on the left side towards the bottom, you'll see just the sim card tray. Unfortunately, no SD card support here on the right. There's the volume buttons and power button which this year has a shiny, polished, chrome, finish down below, there's the USB port microphone and one of two speakers, the other is in the earpiece, giving this phone a dual stereo speaker setup, just like what we had on the Pixel 4a, and I think it's a great sounding setup. Here's just a quick sample, so you can get an idea around back you'll see a new camera setup which includes the familiar 12.2, megapixel main lens, but now a 16 megapixel ultra-wide shooter as well, and I'll talk about that in just a second there's. Also, a rear mounted fingerprint sensor just below that which is interesting only because last year the pixel 4 got rid of the fingerprint sensor with the pixel 5 google brought it back, and it's the same sort of setup that we saw on the Pixel 4a.

It's placed just right. It's fast. Furthermore, it's accurate, easy to feel for, and I'm really glad to see its return on this phone. I think it was the right move, bringing it back by the way, with the new pixel 5. Of course, google also launched a few new cases and accessories to go with it.

This case here that they sent me with the phone is from their fabric case line, which is made from recycled materials. The color is green chameleon, but there are plenty of other options to choose from it's a pretty high quality case. Actually, it's thick material around back and a soft microfiber material inside to keep the phone protected, and, while I'd like to show off that unique green color of the phone, and I'm also pretty confident in the materials, it's still great that google continues to make some high quality cases to keep your phone protected. If you're interested the 6-inch display on the pixel 5 is a 2340 by 1080 resolution, OLED panel that packs in around 432 pixels per inch it's covered in the new gorilla glass 6, so it should be tougher than ever and with HDR 10 plus support. I think content is gonna, look really great on this phone, but the thing that has me most excited is the fact that it is a high refresh rate 90hz display it's enabled by default, and I think right away.

You can really get a sense of just how smooth and snappy this phone feels it's even more responsive with every tap touch and swipe. It makes the phone feel just that much faster, and I'm personally of the opinion now that, once you experience a high refresh rate screen, it's kind of hard to enjoy anything else. Besides that, though, the viewing experience in general obviously looks very nice, I feel like the pixel 5. Is that right balance of size and resolution, and overall I just don't- have any complaints inside the pixel 5 is powered by the snapdragon 765g chipset, an arena 620 GPU, eight gigabytes of ram 120, gigabytes of storage and the largest battery ever offered on a pixel device at 4080 Williams. Now, since I only just got this phone, I can't comment too much on performance, yet I'm looking forward to putting the device to the test in the coming days, but I will say this obviously, with pixel devices you're getting the most highly optimized software experience since it's coming direct from Google, this phone, even ships with android 11, and I think the software experience alone with how well optimized the phone is and the little Google Pixel specific tweaks and extras you do get is one of the biggest reasons why people do gravitate towards these phones.

However, if we're doing some direct comparisons, other smartphones at a similar price do have better specs, like the snapdragon 865 found in the similarly priced s20 Fe for example. So I do want to be fair and objective and say that the pixel 5 isn't totally specked out to the max. But I'm interested to see how much that really matters when I start to do some comparisons in the end, you're still getting the highest level sort of upper mid-tier processor, with 5g support and perhaps opting for anything more might have caused google to drive up the price on this device if they also wanted 5g, which maybe would not have been the best decision around back. Google also made an interesting choice with the camera setup. While we once again get the same 12.2, megapixel, f, 1.7, aperture main lens we've had countless times before this time. The secondary lens is a 107 degree, 16, megapixel, f, 2.2, aperture ultra-wide shooter, I'm fairly confident the pixel 5 will still be one of, if not the best smartphone cameras out there for pictures. But I think it was an interesting decision for Google to migrate over to this ultra-wide setup versus the telephoto they had last year, and I'm excited to see how it works out with some real world shooting.

I was able to snap just a couple of pictures after unboxing this phone just to compare, but I'm of course, looking forward to going all out here very soon and by the way up front we get the 8 megapixel, f, 2.0, aperture selfie lens once again, but just like with the rear setup. Specs aren't everything, and I think this pixel 5 once again will take some absolutely amazing selfies because of how well google can process and optimize its images. So there you go. Those are my initial thoughts and first impressions on the new Google Pixel 5. , there's a lot to like about this phone, and I'm really looking forward to using it these next few days to see what it's all about.
