![]() With its dimensions of 144.7 x 70.4 x 8 millimeters (~5.7 x 2.8 x 0.3 in) and light weight of 151 grams (~5.3 oz), the smartphone is extremely comfortable to hold in everyday usage. This is complemented by the practical form factor. The back is covered by a slightly rubberized layer that offers good support to the grip. The Pixel 5 also convinces in terms of its haptics. At the same time, the Pixel 5 is also dust and water resistant according to IP68 and despite its aluminum case also supports wireless charging and reverse wireless charging. Together, the aluminum case and glass front form a stable unit that can hardly be warped or pressed in. This gives the Pixel 5 a very slim and elegant appearance. Below the matte plastic surface hides an aluminum case that transitions almost seamlessly into the OLED display, which is protected by Gorilla Glass 6 and framed all around by very slim bezels. The modesty comes to an end when considering the workmanship and quality of the materials. The Pixel 5 is available in "Just Black" as in our test unit, or alternatively in "Sorta Sage," a sage-green color tone. The small webcam is integrated so inconspicuously in the top left display corner that you won't even notice it after a while. The punch-hole webcam and color choice are also fitting. ![]() No glass back, no shiny metal frame, no popup camera, and no XXL form factor: The design of the Google Pixel 5 is pleasantly moderate, completely foregoing any visual gimmicks. This is accompanied by 128 GB of internal storage and 8 GB of RAM. In exchange, that includes an integrated 5G modem. In addition, there is no high-end SoC below the 2340 x 1080 resolution OLED display with 90 Hz, but only the mid-range Snapdragon 765G. The next surprise is that the Pixel 5 limits itself to a display size of 6 inches, countering the trend that top models among smartphones have to be as large as possible. ![]() Unlocking via face recognition is also gone. Otherwise the name of the game is to do without: what is not there anymore is the neural core chip that has been supporting the processing of photos since the Pixel 2, as well as the motion sensor for the gesture control. This makes the choice easy, since the Pixel 5 is only available in a single fixed configuration – but at least you can still choose from among two case colors. In contrast to previous years, Google now limits itself to a single top model in its new smartphone series. It focuses on the essential, y ou could say. Courage to do without! This could have been the motto Google used when designing the Pixel 5, since as the new Google smartphone flagship, the successor of the Pixel 4 does some things differently than the top models from other manufacturers. ![]()
