Google Pixel 5 review Comments

Surprised that Google chose a low quality ultra wide angle lens. I much prefer a tele lens, but then even just a low quality ultra wide angle? Ok, Apple uses a very bad ultra wide angle lens, too , but that's Apple's problem and I guess that Apple's ultra wide angle lens is sharper. The Pixel 4 already had a 21.5mm ultra wide angle camera, it was the selfie camera. It delivered decent results when it was used as a rear camera. Now they have a dedicated rear camera for ultra wide angle photos, but the quality is probably not really better than using the ultra wide selfie camera of the Pixel 4. So it's really a step back. Pixel 4 had ultra wide(if you used the selfie camera as a rear camera, it also supported Night Sight as far as I know) + 50mm + main camera.

You are so biased @gsmarena,
1. You didn't even mention astrophotography feature.
2. In your pros, there is no mention of camera capability
3. Your camera samples of night sight and portraits cannot be worst than this.
4. Didn't see samples of night sight portrait.
And I have waited for your review all this time! _/\_

Caybara, 25 Oct 2020The photos look absolutely stunning let be honest. IMX 363 might be old, but as Marc Levoy po... moreNexus 5x/6p HDR+ On mode photos already looked stunning and even better in daylight. Look at https://photos.app.goo.gl/FIeuWX2OiIp9bpSE3 in order to see how images from older Google phones (codenames bullhead, angler) looked in HDR+ On mode or see the comparison at https://www.anandtech.com/show/9742/the-google-nexus-5x-review/7. The fantastic image quality of the Nexus 5x in HDR+ On mode was ignored by several reviewers as this wasn't the default mode because HDR+ could take up to 1s and back then Google had the philosophy that the default mode must be fast. In 2015/2016, if you took 3 HDR+ photos, you had to wait some seconds before you could take another HDR+ photo. But the quality of the default mode was much, much worse in all light conditions. From what I have seen, Google hasn't improved the daylight image quality since the Nexus 5x HDR+ On mode, rather worse. I also have a Pixel 3a, which produces worse daylight photos than the Nexus 5x.

Socalteknique, 26 Oct 2020How come Gsmarena doesn't take pictures of the usual buildings like in other phone review... moreYes, it's strange. Whenever a new Pixel phone is released, the camera is reviewed by someone else. This was already the case with the Pixel 4 and Pixel 3a.

I have the impression that Google's camera got worse in daylight. In good light conditions it seems to use more noise reduction than every Google phone of the last 5 years. Nexus 5x HDR+ photos look much sharper. A reviewer showed that the Pixel 4 takes sharper photos than the Pixel 5. As the Pixel 5 is Google's first Pixel phone that combines different exposures, there can be less exposures available for the brightest parts of the image (sky, etc, previously Google only combined underexposed images), that's maybe the reason for the increase in noise reduction.

How come Gsmarena doesn't take pictures of the usual buildings like in other phone reviews for the Pixel's? I like to compare the picture quality using the pictures of the Condo/apartments and the colorful building with the clock.

Really Annoyed Fello, 25 Oct 2020Ok so. This particular phone is wanted for two things : Stock experience and Camera. So i ... moreLiterally my thoughts as well. So biased to the point where you feel bad about the review and kinda loose respect for the reviewer. Sorry not sorry. Get your sh*t together.

Anonymous, 25 Oct 2020But did you mention the price difference between the phones? What does that have to do with its battery life in context of reviewers over egging the pudding?

You can force apply a constant 90Hz refresh rate if you enable Developer Options and toggle-ON the appropriate setting in Developer Options. You can Google “How to enable Developer Options on a Pixel phone”.

The pixel 4a didn't have a battery issue either. It last much longer than my s10+ using it the same way. And the biggest difference is that, if not using it and only have it stand by it lasts for days..
