Pixel 5 vs Pixel 5a 5G

The Pixel 5 was released in September 2020, and the Pixel 5a 5G was released in August 2021. Typically, upgrading to a newer smartphone results in improvement, but in this case, you would be going from a flagship model to a mid-range model, so there will be some similarities. For example, each of these smartphones is powered by a Snapdragon 765G processor with the Titan M security module, Pixel Imprint, and 128GB of storage space. They also each have Adreno 620 graphics, an 8MP front-facing camera, and a dual rear camera array with a 12.2MP dual-pixel lens and a 16MP ultra-wide lens. Choosing this upgrade path would result in a larger display (6.0” to 6.3”), an IP67 rating for water and dust resistance, and a larger 4680 mAh battery with Extreme Battery Share.
