The holes on the top of the main unit are a 3.5mm audio jack and a microphone.
On the bottom side, there is a USB Type-C port in the center and microphones and speakers on the left and right.
On the right side facing the display, there was a power button and a volume control button near the top.
The power button is made of resin material. It has a slightly wavy shape.
The power button on the 'Pixel 5 (bottom of the image)' is made of metal, so it's one of the points where you can see the change.
The material is the same as 'Pixel 4a (lower side of the image)'. The width of the bulge is shallower than the 'Pixel 4a' and is about the same as the 'Pixel 5'.
There is a SIM card tray on the left side of the Pixel 5a (5G) display.
To pull out the SIM card tray, simply insert the tip of the included SIM tool into the hole in the main unit.
The SIM card tray looks like this. It is a single nanoSIM card.

As the name 'Mostly Black' suggests, the color of 'Pixel 5a (5G)' is slightly greenish compared to 'Just Black' of 'Pixel 5'. The 'Pixel 5' has a slightly rough texture, while the 'Pixel 5a (5G)' has a smooth texture.
There is a rear camera unit on the upper left. The camera is equipped with two lenses, a 16-megapixel ultra-wide-angle lens and a 12.2 megapixel lens.
A fingerprint authentication sensor is located slightly above the center of the main unit.
