Are you waiting to know all the details of the Google Pixel 5? Today we can talk about its design after weeks of not having leaks on it. The final design of the device has been leaked in several quality images and we can know all its details. It comes with a new color and extreme simplicity worthy of a mobile of about 200 euros. Google has been offering unattractive designs on its devices for years and it looks like 2020 will be no different. If you want to know the design of the Google Pixel 5 you are in the right place.
This is the Google Pixel 5: simplicity and plastic back?
There are several images that have been filtered in high resolution about the design of this device. They have been filtered by Evan Blass, so we can confirm that this is the final and official design of Google Pixel 5. Not only do they allow us to see the design in great detail, but also the new green color that the company will debut in 2020.
Entering the most important thing, the design, we can find an extremely simple mobile. Google this year will opt for a “premium” mid-range and not a high-end , something that could not only affect the interior hardware. The exterior couldn’t be simpler.
The simplicity is not bad, but trying to offer a cheap mid-range design for a much higher price. The cheapest Google Pixel 5 will cost 629 euros or 599 dollars. What will the user get on the outside? Everything indicates that this device is made entirely of plastic. The images show perfectly that it is not glass, and the leaks speak of a wireless charging, so it cannot be metal either.

Knowing that Google is saving costs in various elements of the device, it would not surprise us that the entire back was made of plastic. Beyond this detail, the rest of the design is very simple and contains details that we can see in 200 euro terminals. Well, the reality is that there are 200 euro/dollar mobiles made with higher quality materials and much more attractive.
You can’t live on your cameras forever
Google has a very good asset with this device and it is the quality of its camera . The reality is that the company will offer a quality below the Google Pixel 4 in this device. The main reason for this loss of quality is the processor: it will carry a Snapdragon 765G and not a high-end chip. This makes the image processing worse.
Google has spent years recycling photographic sensors and offering Android Stock on mobiles that can be considered mediocre in many other respects. You have to be tough when we talk about the design of a device of this type. You should not forget that it is a mid-range mobile of more than 600 euros / dollars.
Can Google afford to make such a design thanks to its software and cameras? It could if sales were good, but the reality is that Google sells few Pixels worldwide and is not doing great things to change it. The new strategy lowers the price – compared to the Google Pixel 4- but also lowers the power, the screen, the design and the camera.
Now we just have to wait, because we are talking without knowing all the official details of the terminal and without knowing if its design is finally made entirely of plastic. Still, plastic is not the most important thing, because even if Google used metal it would still have a design without too much visual appeal.
