The Google Pixel 5 isn’t flashy. It doesn’t fold up like an origami napkin or have an edge-to-edge display. In fact, it eschews all the “new and never-before-seen” functionality we’ve come to expect from flagships and replaces them with something much quainter: features that people really want. In a world where smartphones masquerade as miniature laptops and portable theaters, the Pixel 5 is arguably the best option for people who just want a phone.
Design
Like most Google products, the Pixel 5 champions a design aesthetic that is minimalistic and modest. On the surface, it is a clean, unassuming slab of aluminum and glass, with small bezels, a 6-inch display, and zero kitsch. It looks nice.
Unlike the Pixel 4, the Pixel 5 doesn’t offer an “XL” variant, which means your only option is the 6-inch display. That might not sit well with some phablet fans, but for the rest of us, it’s about the perfect size.
In terms of display quality, the Pixel 5 performs quite well. Its 6-inch OLED utilizes Full HD+ (1080 x 2340) graphics, a 90 Hz refresh rate, and a new settings optimizer Google calls “Smooth Display,” to good effect. True to the Google aesthetic, everything on-screen looks very clean and sharp, including streaming content.
