We already know everything you need to know about the Google Pixel 5 to determine if it is an interesting device for you. It will be presented on September 30, but at the moment the secrets are very few. Today we talk about the design, features and price of the Google Pixel 5 with information leaked by very reliable sources. You don’t have to wait for the presentation to find out what processor it will have, the quality of its cameras or how much it will cost.
A design of what it is, a mid-range
The new Google Pixel 5 will be a mid-range device. Google leaves behind the strategy of presenting a high-end device to compete with other high-end terminals. This mid-range condition is found in the design.
This Google Pixel 5 will be a very simple device without great fanfare. At the rear you will get a metal cover, a square camera module and a fingerprint sensor. There is nothing to highlight in the design, as it is an extremely simple device on the back.
Things do not change much if we turn the terminal around. Its front has a screen with reduced bezels and a hole in the upper left corner. It is a design that we currently see in many mid-range devices, even better executed than in this terminal.
It is a simple terminal that hardly attracts attention and that looks like a cheap smartphone . We will see if the leaks are wrong and Google surprises with another design, something unlikely.
A list of features confirming the landing in the mid-range
The new Google Pixel 5 confirms its stay in the mid-range thanks to its characteristics. We are facing a terminal with a Qualcomm Snapdragon 765G processor, one of the best chips in the mid-range. It is a good processor, but it is not a Snapdragon 865. It will be accompanied by 8 GB of RAM and 128 GB of base storage . We do not know the type of memories (UFS and LPDDR) that it will use.
Its screen is 6 inches in FullHD + resolution and has a refresh rate of 90 Hz . It is the same that we find in the Google Pixel 4 and good news for users who want a rate above 60 Hz. Of course, it is not the 120 Hz offered by other mid-range devices on the market.
Your cameras will be one of the strengths and probably one of the best on the market. It will have a 12.2 MP f / 1.7 sensor with OIS and EIS and a 16 MP f / 2.2 wide angle with 107 degrees of view. In the front, your camera will be 8 MP with f / 2.0 aperture. Its rear camera can record in 4K at 60 fps and in 1080p at 240 fps.
The battery of this Google Pixel 5 is 4,080 mAh and has a fast charge of 18W. It is compatible with wireless charging, so the material of the back could be glass instead of metal, it is not entirely clear in the leaks. Finally, we know that it will have IP68 certification and support for 5G networks.
Google Pixel 5 price, the only point that is not mid-range
It’s funny that Google has taken very seriously to place this device in the current mid-range with the design and the features, but not with the price. The average price to find a great mid-range device is around 350/400 euros/dollars in almost all markets.
This Google Pixel 5 will be launched for 629 euros in Europe and maybe 599 dollars in the US . Google may create a great mid-range phone, but it will not be, far from it, a device with a good quality / price ratio.
At the moment we can only wait for Google to reveal all the details of this Google Pixel 5 at the event on September 30 . Be very attentive to Bullfrag.com, as we will tell you everything you need to know about this event.
What do you think of the Google Pixel 5? Would you pay the 629 euros / dollars it costs?
