I don't know why, I just enjoy MrMobile's video a lot more than every other youtuber. The little ticks and tacks, the puns, the video production, and whatnot. Keeps me hooked.
Finally, an open, honest and thoughtful review. There's so much 'Gimmicky' stuff with new iterations of each phone (and maybe I am saying this because I am older) it's good to see something solid, no frills, dependable and for most, at such a great price.
Yup. Older I get the less I look into specs. There's really no noticable difference in real world use and optimized software is much more important. Nowadays I like a slightly smaller display (went from 7 Pro to iPhone 11 Pro) and battery/camera/software are my top preferences.
Honestly, if there’s one thing that really draws me to this Pixel, is the symmetrical bezel all around. It’s the first Android phone to do that. Also, the sorta sage finish is really nice.
It is underrated just how often I use the swipe down on the fingerprint sensor to get to my notifications on my Nexus 5X. I miss it sorely on any other device, and one of the main reason my next phone will be the Pixel 4a.
Flat screen Stock Android 3 Years first in line support updates 1 handed compact design Great camera Large battery Aluminum body with wireless charging Water resistant Snapdragon 765G is better than flagship 835 I own Pixel 2 XL and it's still fast and snappy and definitely will get the Pixel 5.
Yeah bro! FLAT SCREEN! I forgot about that. Love my Samsung Note but yearn for when my Pixel 5 arrives with that flat screen. LMAO >>> Snapdragon 765G is better than flagship 835. You got big kahunas to say that and I am with you there.
@Pr1v0 am considering making the same upgrade, can you describe your experience as a 2xl user? Ive heard that the top speaker is weak. Can you attest to this? And elaborate more on your experience
@@MrCommentor2 i just got my pixel 5. I upgraded from my pixel 2xl as well and yes the speakers are a bit on the 'tinny' side. Unlike the front firing speakers on 2xl, the one on pixel 5 is bottom firing. There is another under display speaker as well but most of the heavy lifting is done by one on bottom. When u watch videos without headphones u gotta make sure u are not covering that botton speaker. Other than that, it's a great phone.
@@MrCommentor2 speakers are nowhere near as good as the 2XL - if you can get over this and the smaller size, it feels like literally everything else is superior
People these days are always about high specs, better camera, better processor and so much ram when all of that literally doesn’t actually matter. I’m liking how the pixel is now keeping it simple allowing you to have a good experience without having to go all out on the specs and be top of the line on everything. People don’t need that, what they need is a good experience and that’s what the pixel provides.
I'm genuinely considering going from an s20 plus to the pixel 5 despite the s20 having better specs. A few of my friends have pixel phones and they love them
Many people care more about the phone spec than the actual user experience, which is unfortunate. Google has optimized the Pixel software so well that you don't ever feel the need to get a faster phone.
@@yobu1914 Is your average user really gonna spend a thousand for some extra frames when the 765g is pretty much also capable? That’s the equivalent of everyone there buying the new rtx 3090 because they care about gaming.
@@Josh-oc7ib No, they would not spend a thousand bucks if there are options cheaper than the Pixel 5 with better performance.. All I'm saying is, different region demands different aspect. Just because the pixel 5 is compelling in the west doesn't mean it is in other regions. Like I have just said, people in Asia tend to value the gaming performance as mobile gaming is popular here.
Many tech youtubers have catch phrases to start or to end the video, and I usually don't care to hear them. But for some reason, your "stay mobile" and the way you say it, feels like it's a sincere wish for your viewers' wellness, and does effectively keep me watching until I hear it! Thank you, Michael, for the sincere vibe of your productions.
@ONI Ye exactly, even though it's "cheaper" than last years it still doesn't stand much to other competitors, especially the Nord. Pixel 5 is definitely a no for me. It just makes me love the Pixel 4 even more, which I might buy in the future when I find a used or refurbed one for a super low price.
One year later. My pixel 5 has been a solid phone I give it a 9/10. Perfect size, great soft wear, amazing cameras. Pictures come out better than my wife’s 13 pro. Getting 8hr SOT(don’t play games in my phone) coming from S20 I can’t tell any difference in day to day Performance The pixel 5 has been the best Android phone I’ve ever used. It’s going to be hard to walk away from The Pixel 5 once it stops get Software updates. No desire for the pixel 6 looks absolutely ugly. Holding on to this one for awhile.
@Deep Blue bought one today and love the P5. It's fast enough for me I don't do any gaming just regular tasks like browsing e-mail and watching video. The size is fantastic.
@Deep Blue sorry for the late response. But I'm still rocking the pixel 5 and it's still going strong. Keeping it until the pixel 8 comes out and seeing how good that phone Is
That 5G modem is so freakin' expensive, companies need to downgrade their devices to meet the same price points as last year. Why do we even need 5G? 4G is fast enough as it is.
That's what I'm sayin', charging a $100 for the mmWave bs that's barely available. Essentially we are paying a premium for something we won't even use at least for another year, if not longer. Blah
Google is using a cheaper and outdated 5G modem though. Pixel 5 costs $699 (same as iPhone 12 entry point) yet Apple gave you a superior chipset and modem.
Google has made a phone that i can recommend to almost everyone, with almost no reservations. Funny u said that, cause your video reviews are videos i can recommend to almost everyone, with almost no reservations.
I always tell people to watch his stuff as well. I bought my LG G6 after seeing his review, and it's my longest used phone now. Trying to upgrade to a 4a but the availability is iffy.
Yup, but Google covered the metal with plastic paint finish for the soft touch, much like pixel 2 lineups. I guess he's mistaken because the body really does not feel like metal to the touch
The old “walled-garden” anology could be used here. I’m equally tied into google software with Remote Desktop and drive. So it’s simply a hardware choice.
@@Walktoasixpack I can understand I used to be a mac guy, my old phone was a iphone se but I inevitably switched for one reason or another, and I am glad I did. However if I were to get back in to ios I could not get over the lack of a charger in the new iphone 12. I would probably buy a older iphone like the 11 pro max or the 11, instead of the 12.
do you care about the near stock android experience or do you want to buy into apples eco system? For me it'd be the pixel as I can't stand iOS. But a lot of people like airpods and just want an iPhone.
Congrats on 1 million MrMobile! I remember watching your Moto X Pure Edition review so many years ago, and am glad that so many others are turning to you for high quality content on all the latest tech!
It's weird, that when few years before I wanted to buy a phone, I did not actually like any (design-wise). Also, most top tier phones had all the 'basics' like 3.5 mm jack, top notch CPU etc. Now we can buy so many beautiful phones (pixel 5, motorola razr 2, even galaxy note 20) - but they intentionally skip some features we considered basic (for the price).
FYI (for those like me who didn't know before this video): In New York City, a bodega is a small owner-operated convenience store. Its name is derived from the Spanish word for "storeroom" or "wine cellar". Thanks Wikipedia. :-)
Personally I much prefer a narrower angle selfie camera. As someone who has big issues around their appearance, I find the distortions (no matter how subtle) from wide angle lenses horrible. I've even gone as far as to look up the specs on GSM arena to find out the fov of the front camera when buying a phone.
This is a really valuable perspective; thank you for sharing that. I liked the dual camera setup on the Pixel 3 best, allowing users to choose between regular or wide angle, but I understand why they would avoid that when dealing with a screen cutout.
I'm loving mine here in Australia. Battery life is pretty decent and the camera is stellar. I actually find myself looking for a bulkier case as the footprint of the phone is quite small.
This is great to know. I ordered an otterbox worrying that it would be too bulky but want the protection. Glad that you mentioned this. The case was delivered today and although i don't have the phone I am looking at the phone and thinking that it isn't really bulky... of course, because you said the phone is small. Good thing the screen has small bezels. Thanks.
The 4a 5G is the closest to a 5 XL. But Google isn't releasing a 5 XL at least for this year. Rumor is that due to manufacturing setbacks with current events, Google isn't planning on making a 5 XL.
I'm somewhat sad about the wide angle being not so wide and the loss of the wide angle selfie from my current Pixel 3. I am on preorder for a Pixel 5 and am sure that I will love it no matter how boring it may seem to some. Looking forward to the better battery life and your next tech review.
I have the Pixel 3xl. The back of my phone actually shattered recently. So I'm going to upgrade and I'm actually really looking forward my pixel 5 arriving. The battery life is definitely what I am looking forward to the most. And I'm also excited to have a smaller phone. I'm not a big fan of giant phones and I only have the XL version of my three because it was a hand me down.
the hpj... shame... really a shame! So for me... the 4a 5G would make more sense.. THOUGH... They don't sell it here lol. and 107 degrees wide angle....oef
Been watching you since way back. Haven’t been keeping up with phones recently but happy to see you over a million subscribers. Congrats!! You deserve it without a doubt. Keep producing your high quality videos 🙏
I switched "back" from a Flip 3 to the Pixel 5. It kind of feels similarly small (super thin and lighter) with a better battery and just a smoother experience. The battery of the Flip 3 it was so annoyingly small that I had to throttle the 888 at 70%. The camera is better and no bloatware. I honestly think this is the perfect camera for me. The 6 is too big and flashy for me idk. The 5 is just doing things the way I expected
Oh yeah omg the matte material is so nice; I feel comfortable having it without a case. The speakers are awful but okay mostly I have Bluetooth headphones
@Javan Cook The 4a 5G doesn't have mmWave radio thats why it costs way less. If the 5 doesn't have one it would be priced at $599 USD like what they are now outside America.
I just picked mine up yesterday, absolutely incredible easy to navigate device. My only problem is that the ear piece (being hidden) is a little quite whilst taking a phone call compared to previous devices. Any body else have that? Other than that I would HIGHLY recommend!
@@psr076 it really depends on what you are looking for. If you care only about performance go fe. If you care about software and cameras, google is the way to go. Battery is great on both so you would also have to take into account the phone size, if that matters to you
Great review as always! There's a charm to your reviews that sets it apart from the rest. 1mil+ subscribers truly well earned. Any thoughts on the philosophy of Google's approach to a seemingly "mid-range flagship" this year; has the vision changed, has sight of the goal been lost, or have we changed along with the industry over the last couple years? Like the choice in using the same sensor when a lot of other phones are within subjective spitting distance of photo quality by focusing on both hardware and software (are any other phones fire and forget for photos?).
Michael I love your videos and you have this extra touch that makes me feel very happy when watching your videos. Can wait for the next episodes of future past phones!
I just purchased the 5 after a few years of carrying the original pixel xl. I absolutely loved that phone. The battery was its only drawback for me. I actually tried to have the battery replaced but all the phone shops around me kept telling me it was hard to get the battery I don't understand that. so here I am today with the five pleased with the little nuances but still longing for my pixel XL.
It's not just what you say, but how you say(performative), that keeps us hooked and craving for more! Love your videos and they bring a different perspective to the otherwise "to-the-point" tech videos. Can't wait for your iPhone 12 review!
Please don't stop doing tech reviews. I know that sounds silly, but... Honestly, these videos are great on so many levels that I can no longer imagine not having them in my recommendations. I'm sticking with my Note 10+ this year because it's just too early for 5G outside of New York, LA, or Chicago, but I know a lot of people who are in the market for a new phone. This, looks like something I can recommend.
Your not a weirdo lol. Because of you and your into the fold series I pre ordered the z fold 2. I came from iPhone 11 pro and ill never go back to a boring slab of glass again. Thank you for the series!!!
@@VKDante see, I'm worried the FE will get to Android 12, then they'll drop it. Technically they gave you 3 years of android updates, but they're starting an update behind already. It ships with android 10, and I know Samsung.
If it is past noon, you can't respond to this comment, as your battery is already dead (says the person that still has a Nexus 5 in my drawer, and loved it for so many reasons, except the horrible battery). I am quite excited about the 4080 mAh battery in the Pixel 5!
I hoping some day that one reviewer on youtube will focus on comparing a number of Android phones at the same time on a given task. Example having enjoyed the ability to have a one button screen shot on my Pixel3 until recently removed due to the last November upgrade... I realise that my next phone purchase will very much be interested in that feature being available and so hopefully a review will be done showing which android phone has the best one button screen shot!!
@@kamilaw.2126 I had problems with overheating. Not just recovering 4k video but simply listening to podcasts it got really hot. Also didn't like that you couldn't move 2 widgets from the home screen, just annoying. I went with the Iphone 12 pro, my first ever iphone and so far it's been ok. Bit of a learning curve after so long using only android
I wish google would just go all out and put the best of the best in a phone. I would switch in a heartbeat... I've always wanted a pixel... But they started to go downhill compared to others
I bought the S20 FE for the hardware... after just over 2 weeks, I'm over Samsung software. I'm just not feeling it. I pre-ordered the Pixel 5 and can't wait to compare .
Just sending a big thanks. I just switched from iOS (iPhoneXS) to Android and this is the device that allowed me to do it. I bought it based on this review. And it doesn't disappoint. In fact, I'm absolutely gushing for this thing. Your review was absolutely spot on. Now the Apple Watch S4 also has to go for the TicWatch Pro 3.. Keep up the great work you are the best at what you do and the most entertaining to watch. And thanks again for freeing me from the Cupertino Mafia.
I understand that there’s ‘phone nerds’ that love to look at specs, but how many average users really care about all the camera stuff like the exact percentages of width or whatever. Most people are using their camera to take stupid selfies or stupid pics of their friends when they go out. All this camera stuff is so overblown
The problem about every reviewer saying 765g doesn't make a noticeable difference is because they only test it for a few days, 800 series phones can be used for much longer with less lag, you cannot say the same about 700 series. They won't last that long with same consistent performance.
"The lack of any intrusive manufacturer software" *Literally comes with an assortment of google apps and services* Yes, i'm being a smartass, i know, but there ARE people who would prefer not to have google apps preinstalled, even if Google Play is the safest app store on Android
This! There is a growing movement of people who no longer want to be Googles products and im one of them! Although ironically I am typing this on youtube...

This is the first Pixel that I really like how it looks on the front. It must be that small and elegant chin.
I mean, the 2 XL looked amazing in its day.
This is the best looking bezels on an android phone. Just make it uniform.

if it not broken don't fix it don't apply forever, time change also tech

the hpj... shame... really a shame! So for me... the 4a 5G would make more sense.. THOUGH... They don't sell it here lol.
and 107 degrees wide angle....oef
Same, I'm not buying a phone with no hjack, so 4a 5g it is!
This review is smooth af!
I still wish they released a flagship.
Even if they released it a month later and did not market it much.
yeah last year there was a rumored pixel 4 ultra :D
Been watching you since way back. Haven’t been keeping up with phones recently but happy to see you over a million subscribers. Congrats!! You deserve it without a doubt. Keep producing your high quality videos 🙏
Magical and flowing voice ❤️
I switched "back" from a Flip 3 to the Pixel 5. It kind of feels similarly small (super thin and lighter) with a better battery and just a smoother experience. The battery of the Flip 3 it was so annoyingly small that I had to throttle the 888 at 70%. The camera is better and no bloatware. I honestly think this is the perfect camera for me. The 6 is too big and flashy for me idk. The 5 is just doing things the way I expected
Oh yeah omg the matte material is so nice; I feel comfortable having it without a case. The speakers are awful but okay mostly I have Bluetooth headphones
Everyone's talking about the Pixel 5, LG Wing, Fold 2, iPhone 12...
...and I'm here with my BlackBerry
Need a Priv 2 😁
“ Greasy unapologetic plastic of the iPhone 5C” 🤣 that reference term will live forever , nice one ! Great vid btw as always !
It’s petty decent, but it’s got a lot of competition in this price range.
@Javan Cook so y’all think pixel 4a or 4a 5g the way?
@Player so u think 4a or 4a 5g?
@@johnny_boi7554 imo google does best at mid to low buget .... they dont requier high specs
*Galaxy A71 5G*
@Javan Cook The 4a 5G doesn't have mmWave radio thats why it costs way less. If the 5 doesn't have one it would be priced at $599 USD like what they are now outside America.
Just 2 minutes in his video I’ve already liked and subscribed ❤❤ great guy
Great vid, Mr. Mobile!😀😀
Always rewatching Mr Mobile’s reviews. They’re that good.
Well it isn't for sale in A LOT of countries so that's a BIG reservation.
the amount of effort put into this is much appreciated
4:06 i thought i got a steam message from that sound effect in the background lmao
I just picked mine up yesterday, absolutely incredible easy to navigate device. My only problem is that the ear piece (being hidden) is a little quite whilst taking a phone call compared to previous devices. Any body else have that? Other than that I would HIGHLY recommend!
Thanks for detailed review. I’m still leaning on buying the 4a 5g (because if the pricing )
That's a very good idea as the main difference between them is just 90hz
I mean you could always get the Samsung s20 fe for the same price
@@meric12131415 I have to check it out then. In Canada it’s always more expensive
@@psr076 it really depends on what you are looking for. If you care only about performance go fe. If you care about software and cameras, google is the way to go. Battery is great on both so you would also have to take into account the phone size, if that matters to you
@@psr076 ain't that the truth 🤣
I made that wallpaper for my nexus 5 back in 2014. It's nice to see it some how got to Mr Mobile!
Where can i get the same wallpaper? It looks awesome
Great review as always! There's a charm to your reviews that sets it apart from the rest. 1mil+ subscribers truly well earned.
Any thoughts on the philosophy of Google's approach to a seemingly "mid-range flagship" this year; has the vision changed, has sight of the goal been lost, or have we changed along with the industry over the last couple years?
Like the choice in using the same sensor when a lot of other phones are within subjective spitting distance of photo quality by focusing on both hardware and software (are any other phones fire and forget for photos?).
Mr Mobile is the best voice on you tube ! Your reviews are just brilliant .
The notification is just a tickle away - Michael Fisher 2020
Finger tickle
Michael I love your videos and you have this extra touch that makes me feel very happy when watching your videos. Can wait for the next episodes of future past phones!
Just woke up now from sleep , yeah ! It's Michael's review ❤️
I just purchased the 5 after a few years of carrying the original pixel xl.
I absolutely loved that phone.
The battery was its only drawback for me.
I actually tried to have the battery replaced but all the phone shops around me kept telling me it was hard to get the battery I don't understand that.
so here I am today with the five pleased with the little nuances but still longing for my pixel XL.
MrMobile can be the MC one of Stark Industries event while Tony Stark is in action with Avengers, and no one will notice that
It's not just what you say, but how you say(performative), that keeps us hooked and craving for more! Love your videos and they bring a different perspective to the otherwise "to-the-point" tech videos. Can't wait for your iPhone 12 review!
Love the blink and you'll miss it Seaquest nod, along with Enterprise.
Beneath the surface ... lies the future!
@@TheMrMobile The UEO, just like the UN, but wet.
I miss the wide angle selfie! Bring it back
Is the back metal or plastic? I thought it was metal covered in a plastic coating but that would affect the wireless charging no?
2:27
Yaa its actually metal covered in plastic and there is a hole in between the layer for wireless charging.
@@TheMrMobile oh my bad lol "streched over and aluminum frame". I should pay better attention. Great review btw! Always a treat to watch.
Please don't stop doing tech reviews. I know that sounds silly, but... Honestly, these videos are great on so many levels that I can no longer imagine not having them in my recommendations. I'm sticking with my Note 10+ this year because it's just too early for 5G outside of New York, LA, or Chicago, but I know a lot of people who are in the market for a new phone. This, looks like something I can recommend.
Still waiting for that "S20 FE" review.
Your not a weirdo lol. Because of you and your into the fold series I pre ordered the z fold 2. I came from iPhone 11 pro and ill never go back to a boring slab of glass again. Thank you for the series!!!
Just cant make up my mind on this or the s20 FE.
Pixel if you care about updates. No other reason. If you don't care then Fe
@@VKDante see, I'm worried the FE will get to Android 12, then they'll drop it. Technically they gave you 3 years of android updates, but they're starting an update behind already. It ships with android 10, and I know Samsung.
I m using pixel 2XL.. nd it is still working like a charm... So pixels are long lasting... Nd I love stock Android... Try pixel once u will love it...
@@Thefirespirit1 Yeah that's exactly why i'd have trouble buying Samsung too.
@@Thefirespirit1 Except Samsung tends to be one Android version ahead of Google anyway. Samsung's Android 12 will pretty much be Google's Android 13.
You sir standout so much from other tech reviewers. Always a joy to watch your videos!
The frame is metal with plastic coating
Watched this on my Pixel 2 XL...I'll pre order it.
Google seems to never listen; Mr. Who's the boss and Mr. Mobile have highlighted so much but Google ain't gonna do anything,,,
Dang. Watching to your videos is always a pleasure. There's always something else! All about those little things! Keep it up!
Thank you. I was waiting for this video. “You are also a weirdo”? 😂
why does anybody wants a ultrawide lense? i love telephoto or macro. what should i do with a ultrawide?
I've seriously considered trading my S20 Ultra in for this, and at first only because it has symmetrical bezels 😭
Don't do it, if you watched his review for the note ultra, it has just about caught up to it. For the camera dept
Why would you get a phone thats half the price because the bezels are different?
lol c'mon now the S20 Ultra is just a way more capable phone in terms of hardware...
One hand use man, one hand.
Great review! Are the haptics still excellent?
Nexus 5 was peak google phones, change my mind.
That's a good one, but I think for me it was the 6p
If it is past noon, you can't respond to this comment, as your battery is already dead (says the person that still has a Nexus 5 in my drawer, and loved it for so many reasons, except the horrible battery). I am quite excited about the 4080 mAh battery in the Pixel 5!
I hoping some day that one reviewer on youtube will focus on comparing a number of Android phones at the same time on a given task. Example having enjoyed the ability to have a one button screen shot on my Pixel3 until recently removed due to the last November upgrade... I realise that my next phone purchase will very much be interested in that feature being available and so hopefully a review will be done showing which android phone has the best one button screen shot!!
Trading in my Galaxy S10 for this beauty. Never use samsung again
u did!? how is ur experience i am considering also same change
@@kamilaw.2126 I had problems with overheating. Not just recovering 4k video but simply listening to podcasts it got really hot. Also didn't like that you couldn't move 2 widgets from the home screen, just annoying. I went with the Iphone 12 pro, my first ever iphone and so far it's been ok. Bit of a learning curve after so long using only android
ok thanks so better not going for this one, will need to look for other phone than with good camera
Mr Fisher can convince literally anyone to buy anything that has literally any features. Great job at the video
0:16 Robert Downey Jr. vibe
I wish google would just go all out and put the best of the best in a phone. I would switch in a heartbeat... I've always wanted a pixel... But they started to go downhill compared to others
I bought the S20 FE for the hardware... after just over 2 weeks, I'm over Samsung software. I'm just not feeling it.
I pre-ordered the Pixel 5 and can't wait to compare .
Awesome video as always! You really are my favourite RUclipsr, thank you!!!
B.t.w where did you buy your mask? It's looking amazing
Why does this guy remind me of Robert Downey Jr?
Just sending a big thanks. I just switched from iOS (iPhoneXS) to Android and this is the device that allowed me to do it. I bought it based on this review. And it doesn't disappoint. In fact, I'm absolutely gushing for this thing. Your review was absolutely spot on. Now the Apple Watch S4 also has to go for the TicWatch Pro 3.. Keep up the great work you are the best at what you do and the most entertaining to watch. And thanks again for freeing me from the Cupertino Mafia.
How are you liking your Pixel 5? Do you still have it?
I understand that there’s ‘phone nerds’ that love to look at specs, but how many average users really care about all the camera stuff like the exact percentages of width or whatever. Most people are using their camera to take stupid selfies or stupid pics of their friends when they go out. All this camera stuff is so overblown
The problem about every reviewer saying 765g doesn't make a noticeable difference is because they only test it for a few days, 800 series phones can be used for much longer with less lag, you cannot say the same about 700 series. They won't last that long with same consistent performance.
yeah... they dont even try to game intensively or even try to render videos.
"The lack of any intrusive manufacturer software"
*Literally comes with an assortment of google apps and services*
Yes, i'm being a smartass, i know, but there ARE people who would prefer not to have google apps preinstalled, even if Google Play is the safest app store on Android
hmmm
This! There is a growing movement of people who no longer want to be Googles products and im one of them! Although ironically I am typing this on youtube...
I agree 💯, some of the google apps I prefer not to have preinstalled on my 2XL simply because I don't use them.
Love your videos. Great quality.
MrMobile, your reviews always sound so sophisticated. thank you so much.
You Mr. Mobile are the best!
