This is the Pixel 5, what Google calls the Ultimate 5G Google Phone, and what I'm gonna call proof to the theory I had earlier this year. See, as I revisited the Pixel 4 XL with Android 11 in June, I came to the conclusion that Google no longer cares to compete. Forget the curves, forget the glass, forget the flagship; I think Google has realized that the number's game is unsustainable. None of it makes common sense if the phone doesn't sell.

We saw how the company tested the waters and succeeded with the Pixel 3a, and then confirmation with the Pixel 4a, but I don't think anything prepared us for what the Pixel 5 represents. See, this is not what many of us would call a flagship, but I think we all have misconception of what the word means. The OnePlus 8T is proof that you can launch a phone with all the best specs, and that doesn't guarantee the best experience. If you search for the definition of flagship, it's really just a representation of the best a company has to offer, and not necessarily a list of specs.

Google is the software company, and it seems that this is Google telling the world that you don't need to pay four figures to get a flagship experience, so long as the software is tuned right. I'm Jaime Rivera with Pocketnow, and let's find out if that's true in our review of the Google Pixel 5.
