Google’s “Pixel 5” and “Pixel 4a 5G” under the microscope

Global companies usually compete with each other in introducing new smartphones with faster processors, more accurate screens, and more advanced cameras, but Google has moved away from this race and took a different path in its new Pixel 5 and Pixel 4a 5G smartphones, focusing on programs and applications, leaving Google’s new devices largely positive impression. Rick Austerlo, director of the hardware department at Google, expressed this trend by saying: “It is clear that the world does not need new smart phones from the category of thousand dollars now,” and thus this trend appears in the savings in the new luxury models of the Pixel smart phone series.Pixel 4 functionality canceled

On the other hand, the American company believes that the battery life is more important to many users, so it supplied its new Pixel 4 phone with a 2800 mAh battery, but it soon turned out that it was a very small capacity for the phone, and Google supplied its Pixel 5 phone with a battery.

There have been no major changes to the traditional good camera, as Google adopted in its new smartphone the 12-megapixel Sony camera, which is currently used in the Pixel 2 phone, although it is still far from the resolution of the cameras in luxury phones from other international companies.

The colors appear very natural in the main camera, in addition to turning on the night mode automatically when needed, and similar to the Pixel 4, Google relies on its Pixel 5 phone on two lenses, with changing the length of the focal length, as the Pixel 5 phone includes a wide-angle lens and an ultra-wide-angle lens. While Pixel 4 includes a wide-angle lens and a telephoto lens.

A powerful processor
Google relies on the Qualcomm Snapdragon 765G processor, which is used in other mid-range smartphones such as OnePlus Nord, and the single-chip system includes a 5G unit in order for the Pixel 5 to be able to deal with the fifth generation mobile phone networks, although this Not available now, but the significant expansion in building the fifth generation currently, increases the importance of this function in the future.

The advantages of the recorder application are not limited to recording spoken speech, but it also converts it into text in real time, so that the user can search for keywords, and this function does not require a connection to the Internet, and this function works in the English language and will be launched in many other languages In the future.

Pixel 4a 5G phone
In conjunction with the launch of the Pixel 5 phone, Google announced the launch of its Pixel 4a 5G phone with a 6.2-inch screen, a 3885 mAh battery and a 3.5 mm port, but the screen of this device is not completely scratch-resistant and does not have the same protection available for the Pixel 5, because it is protected by glass The gorilla is from category 3, and there is also a difference in the refresh rate of the image, which becomes apparent to the user when browsing the contents and scrolling down, and the Pixel 4a 5G phone relies on the same processor used in the Pixel 5 model with 6 GB of RAM.

Another difference is the ability to charge the Pixel 5 smartphone wirelessly despite its aluminum body, in addition to the availability of the Reverse Charging function, which allows the smartphone to charge other devices such as headphones, while this function is not available in a phone.
