Now the Google mid range king is on sale when all eyes are on the Pixel 6 series.
After reducing the endowments of its phones to the mid-range, the company has returned to present premium mobiles, which is what most people expected of the Pixel A series.
The most eye-catching Google Pixel 5a specs are its screen, processor, camera, and autonomous capabilities.
In addition, software that can only be used with the Pixel, improved durability, water resistance guarantee, and other nice additional features are included in the Pixel 5a. Unlike Motorola or OnePlus, it is a model that goes the royal way of mid-range smartphones.
$449 is the Pixel 5a price in the USA, which may be the most affordable smartphone ever made by Google. The color of Google Pixel 5a is one variant of Mostly Black, but Google sells very colorful cases.
Pixel 5A Specs: Design
No other smartphone in the Pixel A series has been as simple as the Pixel 5a. Starting with a powerful OLED technology screen with a comfortable but not exaggerated 6.4-inch diagonal and a 90 Hz refresh rate. The main body size of the Google Pixel 5a is about 156.2 x 73.2 x 8.8 mm, and the weight is about 183 g.
It contains a punch-hole selfie camera, two rear cameras, a USB-C port, and a fingerprint sensor on the back notably, the Pixel 5a has a 3.5mm headphone jack, so you can use wired earphones while charging. It was a nice point to be able to respond flexibly to the usage scene. Unfortunately, there is no microSD card slot to extend internal storage.
Instead, you can access 100 GB of cloud storage of Google one to back up the stuff that matters most on your phone, like your photos, videos, contacts, and more. All of your precious memories are protected by Google’s industry-leading security. You can easily rest as what you care about is stored safely in the cloud.
For music enjoyment, Google Pixel 5a is equipped with stereo speakers. As for the essential sound, it was enough to enjoy watching videos. It is not a very clear and high-quality sound, but it is enough for playing games and watching videos. You can feel the presence and the spread of the sound. Pixel 5a comes with a dual SIM specification of single SIM + eSIM. By the way, since it does not support FM radio, you need to turn to an internet radio service to listen to the radio through the device.
The body of pixel 5a has been revamped, and the appearance of the matte black plastic shell on the metal chassis is comfortable with a soft touch, but the strength is improved. In addition, the Pixel A series smartphone is equipped with the waterproof standard IP67. You can use your smartphone generously even when you use water in your daily life, and you can place it in the bathroom. It can even wash with water if desired. However, that is not recommended by the company. One of the features of the Pixel 5A for charging is that it has a charging adapter. A charging adapter may not include in other smartphone models.
Many smartphone manufacturers have begun to reduce their inclusions to reduce e-waste. And many people already own a USB-C cable, so the inclusions are more likely to be useless. It can be said that it is the flow of the times. It may be the last time the adapter is included.
Pixel 5A Specs: Performance
It was the processor that was fueled by the global shortage of semiconductors for a lot of new smartphones, along with Pixel 5a. Functionally, this is enough. Because it is in the midrange, it doesn’t have to be a powerhouse, and 765G (6GB of memory and 128GB of storage) is enough to support the benchmark. The content is comparable to other midranges, such as the LG V50 ThinQ 5G. Unless you are a maniac gamer, it is enough to keep your apps and games running smoothly. That is all you can expect from a midrange.
When it comes to the software side, Nowadays, the software features of any smartphone are firmly suppressed. However, Google is different. Many features can only use with the Pixel devices, such as Personal Safety apps, Call Screener, Live Captions, and more. Looking at this alone, the Pixel 5a can be said to be a smartphone that provides all the cutting-edge AI power. Over the last three years, the OS and security have been updated repeatedly.
Pixel 5A Specs: Camera
The camera is where Google Pixel A series surpasses other mid-range smartphones. Although the camera layout is almost the same as the Pixel 5, the Pixel 5a camera is superior to other expensive midrange smartphones.
The camera configuration is a 12 million pixel wide-angle lens and a 16 million pixel ultra-wide-angle lens for the rear side. And the front side, there is a single camera specification with a standard lens of 8 million pixels.
When there is sufficient light condition, the Pixel 5a dual-camera module provides consistently rich, high-exposure images that work with Hi-end smartphones. It was not inferior when compared.
Also, when it gets dark, the Pixel 5a Night Sight processing works. This function is excellent among many pixel smartphones, and it shows its value especially, in an environment where there is not much light. In any environment where difficult for even the human eye to discern the details, the Pixel 5a can capture surprisingly colorful details.
Google Pixel 5a does not include a telephoto lens. Instead, it is possible to use 2x digital zoom that makes full use of AI. To be honest, the resolution is not bad and I have the impression that it can be used regularly.
In Normal Mode, you can take any simple, panoramic, and 360-degree photos. In addition, for standard recording, you can select Slomo recording or Timelapse for movie recording.
Options displayed by swiping the screen allow you to set the aspect ratio, timer, and so on.
Pixel 5A Specs: Battery life
The Pixel 5a is one of the best smartphones with long battery life because the 5a battery life is staggeringly long. The average is 18 hours 18 minutes.
It is at least the longest time on a smartphone that was introduced this year. Larger screens are not what everyone likes, but the overall larger size means more space for batteries. So this Pixel 5a specs change seems to have come out as a good thing. However, it does not come with wireless charging (hopefully, but it is functionally reasonable without it).
Pixel 5A Specs: Price
Pixel 5A price in the USA is $449 available in black for $ 449 or $18.71/mo for 24 months on the Google official store. And the Japanese domestic price is nearly 51,700 yen. For Europe, it costs around 380 Euros to change. It will represent a better price compared to the next series of the Pixel. (Google Pixel 6 series)
Due to continued concerns about global semiconductor shortages, the Pixel 5a is only available in the US and Japan (Softbank) markets yet. But soon it will start selling in Europe, India and other regions.
Conclusion
The Pixel 5a has the most important foundations that a smartphone should have, such as an excellent screen, straightforward design (waterproof from 5a), well-thought-out software, and long-lasting battery life.
Those who are looking for a small and cute smartphone may not like this, but the Pixel 5a with a large screen and spaciousness is not bad.
In other words, it can be said that it is a mid-range smartphone that has all the functions you want or need.
