Google Pixel Android Smartphone - 2020 Winners and Losers

The year 2020 was an intresting year for Google Smartphones. After releasing its first mid-ranger with the the Pixel 3a in year 2019 the company eschewed the flagship segment all together in year 2020. The Pixel 4a, Pixel 4a 5G and Pixel 5 all use Snapdragon 700 series chipsets and have a total of 8 cameras between them including the selfie snappers with each. 

The shift from proper flagship hardware, meant Google doubled-down on software as the core of a great experience. A very "in-character" decision for the search giant, but Pixel traditionalists found it a bit hard to accept it. 

Loser: Google Pixel 4a

Going in chronological order here, start with the Pixel 4a. The successer to the most popular Pixel smartphone of 2019 wasn't bad on its own bringing an upgraded to a Snapdragon 730G chipset and twice the storage also. The single camera on the back dates back to the Pixel 2, though, and the front one is actually slightly worse than what the 2017 flagship had done. 

Even so the Pixel 4a will have probably made great use of its stock Android experience and computational photography prowess to justify the €340 price tag. However, the key issue was the huge delay in its launch, hitting the shelves at the end of August compared to mid-May for the Pixel 3a. That's why it is the looser of the year. 

Winner: Google Pixel 4a 5G

If we had to choose a Pixel phone today's , it would likely be the Pixel 4a 5G Smartphone . It not only costs just a little bit more than the Pixel 4a but also it offers a bigger display, better chipset with 5G support, a dual camera setup and a bigger battery.

Also the Pixel 5 has a few extra bonuses, like a 90Hz HDR10+ display with Gorilla Glass 6, official IP- 6.8 rating and wireless charging. However, that comes at a €200 or so premium and with a smaller smartphone screen to boot.

Loser: Google Pixel 5

The Pixel 5 smartphone finds itself in an odd place. There was the whole screen gap fiasco, but it didn’t really prove to be a massive issue. The real reason is why the Pixel 5 Smartphone is a bit underwhelming on the year 2020 scene is simply due to its underwhelming hardware and performance for the price tag, even by Google smartphone standards.

On the rear you get an ultrawide instead of a telephoto, leaving fans hoping to finally get a proper triple setup disappointed at all .

After Again, its not a bad phone, but Google found it to deliver on many of the traditional Pixel promises. However, it just doesn't seem to be fulfill for a better pixel option for a better pixels smartphone ever from Google.
