Google Pixel 5a Review; Google’s New Midrange

Herbert Huffner

Google Introduced A New Phone This Year In Which It Has Made Every Effort To Use The Advanced Soc, Interior Design, Upgraded Camera And A Completely New Look To Upgrade The Pixel Series, Which Of Course Does Not Mean The 5a Pixel.


 Google Pixel 5a, If this kind of dramatic improvement is what you’re looking for, you better look for the Pixel 6, which launches this fall. In contrast, the new Pixel 5A is just a tedious upgrade compared to the Pixel 6.

The screen has been slightly enlarged this time around, the phone now has an IP standard for water resistance, and the battery capacity has been increased considerably. This is all about the new 5a.

Google Pixel A5 phone review

The Pixel 5a is a good phone, but it is not exactly a bold move; But with all of this in mind, Google has managed to fix some of the weaknesses of its previous A-Series models while also reducing the final price.

Display and specifications

The Pixel 5a uses an Old 34.6-inch display with a resolution of 1080p, slightly larger than the 2.6-inch 5A 4G display. Such a size is by no means large, especially compared to the 6.5-inch and larger panels common to mid-range and low-end Android phones.

It also uses the standard 60Hz refresh rate, so you can not get the experience of softer and faster animations at 90Hz or 120Hz; Of course, such a price is quite common in devices with a price of 5A.

Although the 5A display is not very noticeable, it is large enough to differentiate between the 4A and 5A 4G. OLED technology provides rich contrast, and its brightness is so good that the screen’s content can view out of direct light without much effort; Something that some of its competitors lack.

In terms of specifications, there is no change compared to the 5a 4G: the Pixel 5A using the same Snapdragon 765G chip with 6 GB of RAM and 128 GB of storage space has nothing new to say in this regard. However, applications open quickly, and there are no delays or problems with daily tasks and browsing in messenger applications.

Complex image processing tasks also take a second or two, which happens in the background.

Battery

The jump in battery life compared to the previous version is another story for the Pixel 5a. This battery has a capacity of 4680 mAh compared to 5a 4G with 3885 mAh. This capacity is very close to the standard 5000 mAh batteries among competitors. Google calls this capacity “all-day,” with a maximum of 48 hours of life if you enable the battery-saving mode.

In fact, a three-hour use of this phone with medium screen brightness increases the battery to 70%. Heavy-duty users can spend a day with this battery, and if you are a low-consumption user who spends more time on the Internet, you can expect the battery to last you 48 hours, even without saving mode.

Construction quality

Pixel 5A has IP67 dust and water resistance standard; This means that it can be immersed in about one meter of water for thirty minutes.

There is a Gorilla Glass 3 on the front panel to protect the screen, and a metal body is used under the outer plastic shell of the phone. The plastic plate has a matte surface that is admirable – it is more slippery than a glossy surface and does not show stains easily.

In this version, there is only one color to choose from black. Of course, you can add new colors to your phone with one of the color body frames designed to provide more protection against drops and impact.

Software اتص Connections

5a comes with Android 11 and is supported by Google’s standard three-year operating system and regular security updates. It lasts longer than most low-end handsets, but Samsung has just begun offering four years of security updates to its A-Series devices, and Apple is launching its latest operating system version for the six-year-old iPhone 6S this fall. Of course, in the 5a pixel, it is also possible to connect to the 5G network.

Camera

The hardware of the 5a camera is another part that does not look exciting on paper, but in practice, it is much more than just the specs. The 12.2-megapixel main camera has optical image stabilization, which is hard to find for less than $ 500. This lens-based stabilizer helps you take clearer photos and is also very useful in low light conditions.

The main camera comes with a 16-megapixel ultra-wide camera and an 8-megapixel selfie camera. This combination may not seem like much with other triple and quad cameras. Still, these third and fourth cameras are usually low-quality macros and depth sensors that aren’t really useful.

If these specifications seem familiar, it is because of the hardware similar to the Pixel 5 and Pixel 5a 4G, which is actually suitable for this model. Due to Google’s smart image processing, the 5A still delivers the best mid-range image quality without new sensors or lenses. Many Pixel 5a’s competitors can take good photos in bright light, but Google is still the champion of low-end smartphones.

5a handles high-contrast scenes well and delivers colors a little more natural than Samsung phones. Portrait and night mode are some of the best you can get from a mid-range phone, though you can certainly see the limitations with more sophisticated subjects. Google has gone to great lengths to equip the Pixel 6 to compete with Samsung and Apple globally.

Conclusion

This phone has no wireless charger, and 5A will be the last pixel sold with the charger inside the box.

There are also $ 400 and $ 500 phones with more prominent features than the Google Pixel 5a. For example, the Samsung Galaxy 5a2 5G has a large 6.5-inch display with a refresh rate of 120 Hz.

But the Pixel 5a is just a good versatile phone with a great user interface, fast software updates, and all the basics of an affordable, affordable phone. The 5a 4G used to be a good phone, and smart 5A enhancements like waterproofing and a larger battery have made it easier than ever to recommend it to a wide range of people.

It is a shame that the Pixel 5a will face such a limited supply, both in the countries where it will be available and sales in the United States. This device surpasses competitors in various aspects such as superior camera and waterproof, and in other cases such as large screen and improved battery life, has its own special features.
