Equipped with a flexible 6-inch Full HD + OLED screen, the screen also has what Google calls Smooth Display, which essentially offers an adaptive refresh rate of up to 90Hz. The IPX8 rated phone is powered by the Qualcomm Snapdragon 765G processor along with 8GB of RAM and 128GB of internal storage.

In terms of photography hardware, the Pixel 5 sports a 12.2MP autofocus dual-pixel phase detection camera along with another 16MP camera on its rear. For selfies, Google has provided an 8MP fixed focus camera in the upper left corner of the phone screen.

A 4080 mAh battery rounds out the basic specs of the Pixel 5, which also supports 18W fast chargers and 12W wireless charging. The phone also has reverse wireless charging capability that allows the phone to act as a power bank based on Qi.

Meanwhile, the new Pixel 4a 5G seems to have more in common with the Pixel 5 than the actual Pixel 4a. In addition to 5G connectivity, the phone has the same Qualcomm Snapdragon 765G processor along with the 12MP dual-pixel 16MP ultra-wide camera setup on the back, as well as an 8MP selfie camera and 128GB internal storage.

Somehow Google decided to equip the Pixel 4a 5G with a larger 6.2-inch Full HD OLED display, although it doesn’t come with an adaptive 90Hz refresh rate according to Pixel 5. This phone also has a smaller battery capacity at 3885mAh and It doesn’t come with wireless charging capability, but it still supports the 18W fast charger.

As for the price, Pixel 5 appears in USD 699 (~ RM 2,899) while the Pixel 4a 5G goes for 499 USD (~ 2,069 RM). While none of these phones will be officially available in Malaysia, we’re pretty sure your favorite parallel importers are already waiting for your call if you can’t help but want any of these new Pixel phones.
