The power of pixel 5 camera
Today I’m going to highlight the camera strengths of the google pixel 5. And what makes it one of the first choices to consider while buying a phone to optimize your mobile photography game.
Pixel 5: what’s so special?
The pixel 5 is Google’s latest flagship phone, featuring a 6-inch OLED display, Snapdragon 765G chipset with 128GB internal storage, 8GB of RAM, 4080 Mah battery and of course the latest Android 11 operating system. Available at just 626€ on the google store. Google is aiming to focus on the mid-range market with their latest products (pixel 5, pixel 4 5g).
1) Google pixel 5 cameras:
As a consumer of Google’s products, I had the opportunity to use one of its phones “the google pixel 2xl” that I’m still using and pretty satisfied with its performance. The camera quality still amazes me, and I can tell you that my Instagram game is on point due to the camera performance of my phone. Now that I gave you an idea of how powerful a google pixel camera can be. Let’s jump to the new pixel 5 camera characteristics and specifications.
1.1) For the rear camera specifications:
- Dual camera setup;
- Primary: 12.2 MP ½.55” sensor, 27 mm-equivalent (standard-wide) f/1.7-aperture lens, dual pixel PDAF, OIS;
- Ultra-wide: 16MP 1.0 sensor, 107-degree field of view f/2.2- aperture lens;
- LED flash;
- 4k video, 2160p/60 fps (2160p/30 fps); 1080p/ up to 240 fps.
1.2) For the front/selfie camera specifications:
- 8mp ¼ sensor;
- f/2.0-aperture lens with 24 mmm-equivalent focal length;
- Optimized focus;
- Display flash;
- 1080 video at 30 fps.
1.3) Astrophotography:
Let us talk about a feature that I love in Pixel 5. It was showcased with the introduction of pixel 4. Google took mobile photography to a whole new level with this option. What makes it even cool, is that you can take a picture, simply by pointing up your phone to the sky using a tripod. If you want a perfect photo you should wait 4 minutes. You can also take a photo for just 1 or 2 minutes, but the results won’t be as good as if you wait for 4 minutes to have the final results.
2) Pixel 5 the best at its category :
The photos taken with pixel 5, are just perfect. Image results are most of the time excellent regardless if its daytime or nighttime. Portrait mode continues to be a strong point and the astrophotography mode might be one of the coolest features introduced in camera phones yet.
You will notice that there are only two cameras on pixel 5. In a time where their competitors load their phones with 3 or 4 different rear cameras. Google went against market trends by offering two excellent cameras that will never fail to surprise their consumers.
I hope this post will be useful for you. Follow me on Instagram for more content and stay tuned for other camera phones review.
