On October 15, 2020, the latest model ' Pixel 5 ' of the Google smartphone 'Pixel' series was released. I arrived at the GIGAZINE editorial department first thing in the morning of the release date, so I actually opened it and tried the latest Pixel model.

I tried to summarize the information about the appearance of Pixel 5 in one movie.

The appearance of the Google smartphone 'Pixel 5' looks like this-YouTube


The Pixel 5 is available in two colors, Just Black in black and Sorta Sage in olive.



Opened.



Included items are 18W USB power adapter, quick switch adapter to convert USB Type-C to Type-A, charging cable (USB Type-C plugs on both ends), Pixel 5 main unit, SIM card slot eject pin, user guide , A guide to safety, warranty and terms.



This is Pixel 5. The main body size is 144.7 mm long x 70.4 mm wide.



In addition to supporting 5G connection, Pixel 5 emphasizes the evolution of shooting functions, and the rear camera has 12.2 megapixels, pixel size 1.4 μm, aperture value 0082 / 1.7, viewing angle 77 °. A dual lens with a wide-angle lens and an ultra-wide-angle lens with 16 megapixels, a pixel size of 1.0 μm, an aperture value of 0082 / 2.2, and a viewing angle of 107 °.



The rear camera is slightly protruding.



Pixel 4 was integrated into biometrics with face recognition, but due to the spread of masks due to the epidemic of the new coronavirus infection (COVID-19), fingerprint recognition has been restored and face recognition has been abolished in Pixel 5. it was done.



It is said that the main body is made of aluminum, but the surface treatment is a little different, and it has a grainy texture like Japanese paper, which is different from the cool feeling that is often found in metal, the high texture of glass panels, and the cheap feeling of polycarbonate material. It has a matte and high-quality texture.



The 6.0-inch display looks like this.



Since the front camera is punch-hole type and housed in the display, the bezel becomes even narrower and 'almost the entire surface is the display'. There is no overhanging notch on the screen like the iPhone X and 11.



There is a power button and a volume button on the right side of the screen. The power button stands out in bare metal color, but the volume button is black that blends into the terminal body.



SIM card slot on the left side.



Speakers and USB Type-C ports are lined up on the bottom side.



The actual weight is 148g.



When Just Black and Sorta Sage are lined up, it looks like this.



The materials and processing should be the same, only the colors should be different, but when compared to the touch, Just Black seems to be a little more grainy.



The genuine case 'Pixel 5 Case' arrived at the same time, so I will actually install it. There are three colors, Basically Black, Blue Confetti, and Static Gray, but this time I bought two colors, Basically Black and Static Gray.



Included is Pixel 5 Case body only.



Precautions etc. are written on the inner box part that fixes the Pixel 5 Case body.



Basically Black is black at a distance, but a closer look reveals that the black fabric is woven with gray fabric.



On the other hand, Static Gray is gray when viewed from a distance, but when viewed from a close distance, it is a mysterious shade in which a light blue or orange fabric is woven into a black fabric. As it is made of fabric, it can be washed in the delicate course of the washing machine.



The Pixel 5 Case has a structure with buttons on the case itself. The color of the power button is also different from white for Basically Black and orange for Static Gray.



Inside, Basically Black is white and Static Gray is orange.



The place where I actually installed it is as follows.




When attached, the feel when the power button is pressed becomes a click and a firmer click, and the feeling of pressing becomes stronger.



After that, I will try out the points where the shooting function of Pixel 5 has evolved and the battery sharing function, so please look forward to it.
