![]() I am slightly concerned about this coating chipping off in high-contact areas, like around the USB-C port (my Pixel 4 unfortunately fell victim to this phenomenon), but only time and ongoing use will reveal how durable the Pixel 5’s exterior really is.Īs such, you’ll have to live with an effective-yet-dated rear-mounted fingerprint sensor in the Pixel 5. It also plays off brilliantly against the chromed green power button and Google logo on the back. This is a lovely shade of green with some faint speckles in it, giving it sort of an eggshell-like luster. I especially dig the Sage Green version Google sent us. Whatever Google’s done to achieve the Pixel 5’s earthy sort of finish, I dig it. I don’t know if it’s the most “premium” feeling smartphone I’ve ever held, but such questions are highly subjective. Personally, though, I’m a sucker for unique materials - especially slightly-gritty or soft-touch textures - and I love the finish of the Pixel 5. Some dismiss the matte, almost candied sort of coating Google has employed on this phone as cheap-feeling. The finish on the Pixel 5 appears to have drawn conflicting opinions from various reviewers. On the back, there's a fingerprint sensor and a square camera module packing dual optics - and that's pretty much it. All of Mountain View's modern handsets are remarkably simple and minimalist in terms of design, with small hole-punch front-facing cameras and tiny bezels encircling the display. If you've seen a Google-branded phone in the last year or two, you've virtually seen the Pixel 5. In fact, the speeds I saw were consistently in the single digits in terms of megabits per second - of course, your mileage may vary. That said, I never experienced impressive speeds during my time with the phone, even when I happened to be in range of AT&T’s nationwide 5G network. Google has designed the Pixel 5 to connect to both sub-6GHz low- and mid-band 5G networks, as well as millimeter-wave ones, meaning that it supports the full gamut of 5G service no matter which carrier you take it to. The Pixel 5 is sold unlocked, where you can take it to any carrier of your choosing, or through AT&T, Verizon, US Cellular and Google Fi. ![]() There are two colors - Just Black and Sorta Sage. Interestingly, Google isn’t offering a higher storage capacity version, and the Pixel 5 doesn't support microSD cards to give you more space to work with. The Pixel 5 costs $699 and packs 128GB of storage.
