Editorial report
Google Pixel 5a 5G 6 GB / 128 GB / Japan / G4S1M technical sheet
The Google Pixel 5a 5G suits people looking for a manageable 5G phone, but its 60 Hz display and a battery that ranks below most phones of its time are trade-offs. It weighs 183 g, less than most phones of its time, and pairs a 6.34-inch OLED display with 415 ppi, among the highest pixel densities of its time. Its 60 Hz refresh rate, however, is among the weakest.
The rear main camera has 12 MP resolution and optical image stabilization, while its f/1.7 aperture is among the brightest of its time. There is also a 16 MP ultrawide camera. The main camera’s 12 MP resolution is lower than that of most phones of its time, as is its 1/2.55-inch sensor size. Connectivity ranks better than most, with 5G, eSIM and NFC. The battery has a 4,680 mAh capacity and 18 W fast charging; overall, the battery ranks below that of most phones of its time.
This configuration has 6 GB of RAM and 128 GB of storage, runs Android 11 and carries an IP67 rating. Its overall NeoScore is 5.7. The Pixel 5a 5G is a fit for people who prioritize a high-density OLED display, optical camera stabilization and 5G connectivity, and can accept a low refresh rate and a battery that falls behind most phones of its time.
