Google Pixel 5 vs Pixel 4: Some Changes you should know

 Google just released the Pixel 5 priced at $699 (approximately Rs 51,000). It is a successor to last year’s Pixel 4, which never came to India, due to its Soli Radar feature. This time along, Google has reduced the price of the device by replacing the Snapdragon 800 series processor with a 700 series processor along with a few other corner cuts. This would make potential customers think twice to go in for a Pixel 4, which you can currently get on Amazon for around $350 (approximately Rs 26,000) for the 64GB storage version or the new Pixel 5.

Here we take a look at both Pixel 4 and Pixel 5 and compare their specifications to find out which one would be a better deal for you.

Google Pixel 5 vs Pixel 4: Design

Both the Pixel 4 and Pixel 5 look quite similar, except for minor design transitions. These include a unibody design on the Pixel 5, a fingerprint sensor on the Pixel 5 and a hole punch on the Pixel 5. The Pixel 4 came with a chunkier top bezel to include all the sensors for Soli Radar. And it gave up on the fingerprint sensor in favour of facial recognition. Overall, both the Pixel 4 and Pixel 5 look very similar and can be mistaken for one another from afar.
