Google Pixel 5 | Unboxing & Full Tour By Tech Spurt

So hazar, the pixel 5 is almost here. It hits the UK and the US on October, the 15th and at just 599 quid it's the most affordable google flagship phone since back in the nexus days and now, ladies and gentlemen, for your view and pleasure, I'm going to whip out this gorgeous six inchers and take you on a full on tour and for more than the latest great sec. Please do pull subscribe and ding that notifications bell cheers, and there is our first glimpse the gorgeous new Google Pixel 5. Let's just stick that aside for now see what else you get in the box and so a bit of highly exciting documentation, bulky bin device to get your sim in there you've got your mains adapter with pop-up action, a very white type-c, USB cable and, as usual with the pixel phones. You get your USB a to c adapter to transfer files over. So that's the box now the actual form, the gorgeous lovely, pixel 5, which of course has been rumored, and they're here, seared for many a month now, and now it's finally here so as you can see, I've got the standard just black model here, which will definitely have some serious goth appeal as usual, but you can pick up the Google Pixel 5 in sorter sage as well, which is kind of a light mossy green.

At least you can, if you pre-ordered the pixel 5 about 12 months ago, because the time I shot this video and even just after the launch it was already sold out and even though it's called just black. This is actually probably more of a very, very, very dark gray. To be perfectly honest, and of course, recently, google killed off its two-tone uh design, so it's just a single torn affair. The actual material I used to construct the pixel 5 is 100 recycled, aluminum, and it's got quite a soft textured uh finish to it almost feels like cardboard, weirdly uh, it's very, very strange and yes, definitely feel obliged to make all of those remarks about me. Stroking my soft six-incher in the comments down below all joking aside, though, and it's fantastic to have a six-inch flagship, smartphone again, absolutely adored.

The compact nature of the Pixel 4a 5g and this world gone crazy with 6.5 6.7 6.8 inch smartphones, it's perfect to have something that actually fits in the hand, and I'm hoping that the pixel 5 will basically be the Bruce Lee of smartphones. Sure it's quite small, but it should be one tough mother, too, you've got a good bit of gorilla glass, 6 covering the front, and then let's see how that aluminum back holds up, hopefully will stay scratch and scuff resistant, and the Google Pixel 5 is for the ipx8 water resistant as well. So you can take it in the bathtub you can take in the shower. You can take in the swimming pool, whatever you fancy, and it's very simple, straightforward design as well. You basically got your USB port and your speakers down below you've got your sim tray to shove.

Your sim card, in obviously you've got your power button, a silver affair. This time a metallic finish roll, then one of those nice vibrant colorful power buttons that you got on previous pixels and your volume rocker, which actually blends in quite uh nicely with the chassis there and now dedicated Google Assistant button. I noticed which, of course, you do get on quite a lot of other androids. These days. Annoyingly you've got your square camera chassis again, similar to the pixel 4 here before it just shunted away into the corner.

There almost completely flush for the surface, barely sticks out at all, and then you've also got your physical fingerprint sensor, slapped there right on the back of the phone, and that too, is almost completely flush with the surface just slightly indented, so you can actually feel it out without having to like to turn the phone around and work out where the bloody hell it is anyway, it's time to get the pixel 5 all set up and uh when you do come to stick your sim card inside this thing as well. It's just a single physical sim that it takes, as you can see, they're just a single tray, but it does support e-sim. As well, if you do want to go dual sim quite handy, if you want to uh, do a bit of traveling, you want to get some international sim action on the go and, of course, there's no support for micro SD memory cards as usual, so you are stuck with the 128 gigs of on-board storage, all right, all right! We are all set up here on the pixel 5 and good to go, and, of course it is the latest android 11 experience as you'd expect from Google straight out of the box and at the glance of course, doesn't look very dissimilar to android 10. Of course, you've got usual. Google discover feed.

You've got your apps' tray. You've got your notifications bar and settings menu looks very, very similar as well. There are a few little tweaks here and there so, for instance, now the power menu has a couple of bonus bits such as the ability to tinker with all of your google home smart goodies, as well as all the other stuff you had like the Google Pay, fast access and, of course, all those great bits that were added and recent android updates, such as the car crash detection, all that good stuff and touch words that rear fingerprint sensor seems to do the job quite nicely. Just a quick, tap, and you're pretty much straight into your desktop, it's not the fastest around, but it seems pretty reliable. Now, one of the pixel fives features that I'm already very much enjoying is that gorgeous six inch OLED display it's a full HD plus resolution 2340x1080.

So I know, while some flagships go with quad HD, plus, to be honest with this size of screen. That is a gorgeously crisp image seriously. Get your face right up to that thing. You are not going to notice any pix elation whatsoever, absolutely pin sharp in every regard. You've got HDR 10 support and, as you can see there, Netflix HDR content is supported at launch and if you dive on into the display settings, you can never play around with likes the color temperature as well as you can see it's adaptive to begin with.

But if you prefer those nice boosted, vivid hues, uh all the time, you can stick that on otherwise more natural visuals as well and oh, yes, the pixel 5 does have a 90 hertz display, and it is just gorgeously smooth. I love the little bouncy animation as you're flicking between your desktops. Everything just looks silky gorgeous. As for the audio well, as we already discussed, there's no headphone jack on it, major bummer dude, but you do get a stereo speaker setup. It's not really proper full-on stereo.

Let's just boost up the volume law and see what we got here. Five mark ii reviewed from all the latest greatest tech. Please do put subscribe and take that notifications. So yeah technically, you do get sound out of this earpiece speaker, but it is tinny as out. It is definitely the bottom mounted speaker that is really pulling the weight here.

So while you don't get any kind of stereo effect from the pixel 5 using those built-in speakers- and it definitely doesn't feel like the sound is being blasted at your face- it's still actually quite a surprisingly powerful full-bodied sound on that top volume, and you should have no problem hearing it. Even in a pretty noisy environment as usual, you got fast access to the live, captioning feature, which is great news if you're hard of hearing or anything that can add captions to anything where speech is detected and if you jump on into the sound features as well, there's not really much to speak of down here. There's no Dolby Atmos support or anything by the looks of it. Just your usual shenanigans and, of course, a good bit of now playing as well standard pixel feature. So if you're in a shop, a bit of steps comes on over the shop radio you're like oh, what is that banger from back in the day, that'll clue you in now at 600 quid, the pixel 5 is considerably cheaper than most other google flagship phones of recent years, basically any of the other pixel flagships, and one of the reasons for that is because it doesn't use the latest snapdragon 865 chipsets.

Instead, it uses the 765g and while some people may book at the idea of a flagship not having the absolutely most super-duper chipset out there, the 765g is absolutely fine. It'll do everything that you need it to do, as you can see from my geek bench test that I just run absolutely brilliant scores. This thing can multitask with the best of them and if you're into mobile gaming, no worries on that front either the likes of Call of Duty, PUBG mobile. All of that good stuff will play without a hitch and that'll definitely be helped along here in the pixel 5 by the eight gigs of ram stuffed inside as well, and one of the benefits of that 765g. Besides, the fact that it is cheaper is the fact that it's actually got a 5g modem built in unlike the more expensive 865, so that again helps to cut costs so yeah the pixel 5, is 5g already, although, sadly, there doesn't appear to be any Wi-Fi 6 support according to the specs.

Now, of course, one of the biggest issues with its predecessor, the pixel 4, was the fact that the battery life was so absolutely bloody awful. There was the one major reason why I just could not recommend that phone at all. I do have higher hopes for the pixel 5, though, because first that snapdragon 765 g is rather energy efficient, and you've got four thousand William cells, stuffed in here 4080 to be absolutely precise in case you're, one of those pedantic types he's going to immediately jump into the comments and say I think you'll find. Of course, I will be fully testing the battery life of the pixel 5 for my in-depth review so stay tuned for that to see what I really think of it. Of course, when it comes to smartphone batteries, a lot of the big headlines recently have been around fast charging, notably the likes of the oppose, the realms, the OnePlus, which have their 65 watt fast.

Charging Xiaomi has one up to them. Even unfortunately, here on the pixel 5, it is 18 watt fast charging which isn't quite a patch on those bad boys. Still at least you've got wireless charging support here on the pixel 5, which some flagship phones do not offer, and you do have the battery share feature as well, which is basically reverse wireless charging. So, as you can see, if you've got some accessories that support QI, wireless charging, you can just slap them on the back of the pixel 5, give them a little of a boost up in power on the move and last up. Let's finish this pixel 5 unboxing with a quick squint at that rear, camera tech, and what you have here is the same primary 12.2 megapixel, dual pixel sensor as the Pixel 4a and the Pixel 4a 5g. It's got that built-in optical image stabilization as well, so hopefully, should prove awesome for your everyday photos.

As you can see, there, you've actually got an on-screen level which you can turn off. If you don't like it just helps you to get a nice clean level shot, and I do really adore the pixel camera UI, it's just so nice and simple and streamlined it'll suit, most people down to the ground. You can pull on some extra options like so including the flash. The timer motion photo, of course, which just brings your gallery to life as you're skipping through it. With brief little clips and to any point as well, you can swap to the ultra-wide angle lens, which is the secondary lens on here.

It's a 16, megapixel effort, just by pulling down like so on. As you can see, that gives you a nice wide angle view, and then you can skip back to the primary lens just by sliding up, and you can notice uh there when it swaps from one lens to the other. You just notice. The transition between the two doesn't seem to change the color temperature too much at all, and indeed, if we take a look at the photo results, you'll see very, very similar as far as the color reproduction is concerned. Although the photo taken with the primary lenses have a bit more sort of texture to it and as usual, the pixel is absolutely excellent.

In high contrast situations, as you can see there, you can actually tweak the brightness of your subject as well as the overall brightness of the shot independently, which is a great little feature and, of course, you've got all the usual bonus camera modes on here, like good old portrait mode. So you can snap a lovely shot of your subject with a nice, both style effect. In the background, and once again, as you can see, you can tweak the actual brightness of the overall shot, as well as your subject, and I'm definitely still a big fan of that night sight mode as well, which is a fantastic job in really low light situations. It can actually pretty much see in the fricking dark. This will take lots of different shots at different exposure levels and then meld them all together.

It'll take a little longer if it's a really dark situation, of course, and as you can see there like lots of background detail, uh, which would be lost just using the standard, auto mode, and it captures really nice natural, looking colors even in pretty much pitch black darkness and the pixel is usually pretty decent when it comes to your home movies as well as you can see, it's set to 4k ultra HD by default, which is great because often these things are set to full HD for some reason, and you shoot at either 30 or 60 frames per second, even at 4k level and there's a handful of other bonus modes. If you're interested too and then last up, let's flip around to that 8 megapixel selfie snapper, which seems quite low res, compared with a lot of selfie shooters these days, uh, quite often you get like 16 or 32 megapixels, even but frankly, with a mug like this, the lower resolution, the better and those excellent Google software smarts will mean you get nice crisp images all the same: oh yeah, stunner and there you have it my lovelies, that is the pixel 5 in all of its glory, quick tour of the hardware and the software uh. So, hopefully, that's given you an idea of what the phone is all about stay tuned for my in-depth review. I'm also going to be doing a pixel 5 versus pixel Fourier 5g versus pixel, 4a comparisons. You can see how the three current Google Pixel smartphones all stack up against each other.

So that's what I think so far. What do you think be great to hear your first impressions of the pixel 5 flagships? Has Google gone the right way by trimming a bit off the price going for that 765g chipset, or are you disappointed still that it doesn't have the 865b grit are your thoughts and for more than the latest great sec? Please do put subscribe, dig that notifications bell and have yourselves a lovely week. Everyone cheers love you.
