- Finally got the Google Pixel 5a real-world test done. Took it for a day out in the neighborhood of Chelsea in NYC, did a camera comparison against other phones, did a Pixel 5a review talking about the features I like and don't, and did a battery test (which I was very surprised by the results of). Come check it out!

I love how you included more video footage from the actual phone so we can see how it does in different scenarios. As always great content!
Your videos are just so darn enjoyable....regardless of whether I'm interested in the device you're featuring or not... I just really enjoy how you film and edit and bring it all together! I save your videos for my "last watch of the day" when I can just shut everything else down and go for a little virtual trip- It's awesome thank you!
🎯♥️
These videos are so addictive David!
I find myself saying 'Another day, another real world test' along with you every time haha 🤣
Same 😂

You convinced me. I have a pixel 2 and I have loved it. It’s now getting on in age and I’m getting a certain amount of anxiety that it will suddenly fail. If this happens, I might end up buying something that is less than what I want it but just because it’s there. Incidentally you do a wonderful review. I’ll tell my friends.
I always enjoy your videos, especially while you travel around New York City. This one is a little more special to me because I was born and raised in Chelsea and I'm looking to replace my Pixel 3 XL with the Pixel 5a.
that battery is a pretty good upgrade, if I may say it myself, and a ton of added features.
Thanks for sharing this video, David. 👍🏼👍🏼👊🏻🙂
I'm starting to think that a bigger battery=more usage=more ad revenue for Google. They want to minimise the downtime as much as possible.
@@GK-qc5ry I see the correlation, but i don't think it actually connects...
One of the best vlog review ever. Great job as always David. Stay safe
You are one of the best reviewers of tech out there, you should have more follower and I truly appreciate your work.
I really love your channel. Pretty inspiring. Great video, thanks for sharing on the Pixel 5a
Thank you!
Pixel 5a just won the blind camera test beating out all the flagships . Took out the pixel 6 pro and iPhone 13 pro max head to head. Beast mode
Really ?? are you serious 😳
@@Asimkhan-vs9rd check out mkhb blind camera test
@@SerbyWafflesTech it's awesome iam very much suprise 😍
Thanks 👍🏼🙏🏼
does the pixel 5 have the same camera?
More battery, good performance, and more affordable price. Also, Nice view of the city! Its like being there.
Very enjoyable both as a review but also a guide to different parts of NY (and sometimes other locales) Your and Mr Mobiles videos goes great with that important morning coffee (check).
Love your videos. The phone tech and, being a Londoner, seeing some of the hospitality venues in New York, is a great combination.
I really think I might grab this phone. Looks like everything I want in a device right now.
Plus I can totally see you wearing that hat with the little Chrome dinosaur.
I can say this right now.... I've had the Pixel 6, sent it back, went back to my Pixel 5a. Just had the recent Galaxy S22 Plus, sent it back, went back to my Pixel 5a. This 5a phone has been the best phone I've ever had!!
Loved the video as always, sadly the phone is not available in the European market. I am glad you used Chelsea as your location for this one . I stayed in the Meatpacking District while on holiday in 2017, absolutely loved the neighbourhood! I think I visited Chelsea piers, I remember a building that looked similar that was also a sports facility , but the thing I remember most was the trapeze school on the roof! Would that be the same place? Keep up the great work David.
I agree about the finger print sensor, between wearing glasses and masks I just don’t want a phone that only has face unlock.
Been waiting for this! Good video as usual David!
Watched your awesome video on my Pixel 5A. Like always, Great job! I a very happy with the phone. Cameras are good for pictures, video is better in daylight.
I honestly cannot wait for your Pixel 6 & 6 Pro video....
Loving your style of reviewing keep up the great job
Sad they didn't bring it to India, I wanted to upgrade from my 4a because of the battery.
Btw, great video as usual, I honestly watch them more for the videography and cool places you visit rather than the devices itself. Cheers!
It's quite shocking that a key market like India was just snubbed. Time to check the grey market I suppose.
Still images, still no one is touching the Pixels.
Colour science, hitting the right tonality.
It is just the best.
Best phone reviewer on TH-cam. Always love the interesting nyc educational portions having grown up there. 😊
Hopefully this will be available on the UK soon so ai can also test it and see if it's good for vlogging. Great content as always 😊
Just discover this channel and I really love the content, keep it up bro
Thank you!
I switched from an Iphone 7 plus to the 5a, and so far have been enjoying the phone, it charges quickly and lasts all day and is fast and good for its price.
Thanks for the tour round Chelsea! The coffee place by day/bar by night takes top honors for me. And the tour of the 5a also presented well. 👍
you have no idea how badly I waited for this video :'D
🙏🙏🙏
Great video! I have to say that I was very impressed with the pics taken by the Samsung A 52! Wow!
Great review as always David, i want a Pixel so much, but there's no Pixel in Brazil yet :/
David, another great video. If this review gig doesn't work out, think about be a personal tour guide in NYC and New York State. I am always learning about the Big City. Waiting for the Pixel 6/ 6 Pro. Hopefully, DFW will get the next Google Store. Take Care.
Great review. This phone is super compelling but I'm still holding out for the 6 to hit the market or the 21FE... Choices choices... Lol
I love this type of videos, it's nice to see a neighborhood I know nothing about & also get my dose of phone videos.
Another Real world test from David, i'm hereee for itttt (but first thing's first...... coffee))
I just bought the pixel 5A 5G as an upgrade to my pixel 3XL that I've had for 3 years and I really liked it. I chose the 5A because I needed to upgrade that's my 3XL was showing signs of its age and I didn't want to wait for the pixel 6. I have been reading about the pixel 3 bricking so thought it was time to upgrade. I've had the phone about a week and I like it I wish it was more the size of an XL in width. Since I noted you used the phone as a video and took a lot of photos, did you have any problems with it overheating while in the video or camera mode. I've read that this has been an issue and I've noted in the short time I've had my phone that it will give me overheating warnings while using the camera.
@Harshvadan Rode in either mode, photo or video, I still can receive the warning but what I notice more is that it will give several short vibrations when I shoot pics or video. But only in camera mode. If I am using WhatsApp to take a pic or video, those vibrations do not happen.
I don't know how anyone can defend this phone's price when others like the POCO F3 exist. It obliterates the 5a on all fronts except for Camera software. With a custom GCam APK, I'm sure even that metric would be marginally different, at best.
Mando, thats the thing tho. I had the F3 and like you said it was nice all around _except_ for the camera, GCam or not. That was not a sacrifice I was willing to make, so I sent it back. Besides that, with a Pixel you get clean android and the software perks like all the latest and greatest updates. MIUI 12.5 on the F3 is a mess. You're comparing apples to oranges here.
@@slowburn451 That's your prerogative, but hardware wise, Google are bandits. Same line of thinking with their Chromebooks. They're peddling garbage hardware only performing acceptably due to extremely optimized software and cloud leveraging.
meh. OPPO reno 6 has good camera,much rams and cheaper. google pixel is still consider overprize with their outdated camera pixels.
i love that you're reviewing the phone and vlogging in new york at the same time. new subscriber here!
Thank you!
I really really wish this had a 90hz display. I would 100% swap my pixel 5 if that was the case!
I have the 5 and just got the 5a not too long ago. I can tell you right now, once you get this 5a in your hands, you really can't tell the difference... unless you're really focusing on it.
I ended up selling my Pixel 5 and regretted it soon after. I'm only getting the 5a because of that regret, so if you still have yours I'd keep it. Definitely a great phone that I didn't appreciate.
@@JustAFatGuyInTX agreed! I paid off my Pixel 5 and I'm keeping it for a back up. I'm gonna pay off this 5a and have it for the headphone jack lol. I'm still getting the Pixel 6.
@@JustAFatGuyInTX Yes, I like the size, camera and simplicity of the Pixel Series. Been annoying the Pixel 6 series is growing in size!
@@DJ_S-3-R-G I have 90hz OnePlus and the 60hz pixel 5a, and honestly cannot tell a difference.
Excellent tour of (the other) Chelsea - thank you Sir! Also creates a reference point for what Pixels were like, prior to 6. Looking forward immensely to your review of that, and seeing more of your 'hood.
My family and I visited New York and walked the High Line in the summer of last year and once you go, it's like no other place you’ve ever seen! 🤭
Highly recommend if you’re in the area, go and walk it in the evening, the architecture and old vintage feel is amazing! ❤️
Routemaster bus, Chelsea, are you sure you’re in NYC and not London? 🇬🇧 I remember the Highline from your previous review, looks a cool place to chill out while drinking a nice coffee.
I'd like to see a review of that phone's (pixel 5a) video capabilities. Also, instead of just showing them next to others, I'd like your analysis/opinions on the video sound and image quality. Finally, I'd like to see it compared with some phone(s) closer to its price, like S21 instead of Ultra, for example.
So, My LG G7+ThinQ decided that phone part didn't have to work after 2-1/2 years. On top of that LG ditched the mobile phone business in the past year.
I was prepared to spend ~$1K for a new flagship phone to replace it. NOPE - Snagged the Pixel 5a instead. No regrets at tall and your review was right on the money. I was tempted to wait for the Pixel 6, but in the big scheme of things it is more than I need.
If I really want to get serious with a camera, I'll go to my Lumix GX-85 mirrorless.
Great video (as usual)... looks like a really cool village to check out when I'm down there. Did you have any issues with the phone overheating at all? Sounds like some people do when it's recording at 4K60 but others say not so much.
Very nice my friend. I wish that you hit 1M subs by the end of 2021.
David very nice vlog Google Pixel line as come around lately and the battery life is impressive i have the iphone 12 now after being an android junkie for many years. But if i go back to android i will go with the Pixel
How could ANYONE choose apple willingly... It baffles my mind
That’s a cool looking store. Great vid!
Thanks bud!
I love the background music in your videos.
Awesome video. Thank you for the review and vlog.
I'm really hoping Google will push computational videography with the Pixel 6 series like they pushed computational photography with Pixel 2. Because, smartphone videography still looks like it's captured on a phone (Apple does it best so far, but you can still tell it's a phone in low light videos) while photography has come such a long way, sometimes it's hard even for a trained eye to tell if the photo was indeed captured on a phone or a big camera.
I am following you since your last review on 4a 5G daily used. Keep it up, btw I am holding 4a 5G, great phone.
Having a terrible morning so this is much needed ☺️
Really good real world review. Thanks appreciate it. Really well done.
Was overheating an issue? I understand that 4k 60 fps causes it (As the 765G can't natively record that) but users around Reddit and Twitter say it overheats with basic usage. Was this prevalent with your use or was the phone perfectly fine throughout your time with it?
Great video David. Stay safe.
Superb video as always,
Btw i love to watch your real world test, especially when in my country still in pandemic, and still have restriction
So watching you real world test, it feels like i'm also travelling
Greetings from Germany 💪 you are the Best 👍 I Love your Nokia 8.3 5G Test ❤️
Great Quality Content love from India 🇮🇳
Finally ... I love this episode 😍
Unique. Great job. Subscribed.👍🏼🙂
Thanks so much!
Pixel 5a is actually.mettalic unibody ,you said it's polycarbonate
great video and i like it!
Another day, another incredibly awesome video. If I ever visit NYC, you'll have to be my travel buddy
THE LEGEND
Love from Bangladesh 💚
Love from Bihar, India. I am waiting for this Phone.😍😍😍
What happened to your wrist at the 9:46 minute mark? Anyway, very
Insightful video. I’m leaning towards getting this phone
I am so used to Itunes that I could not use another software for the music of my phone, that is crucial to me. But oh my god, the Hotel was so beautiful!!!! I want to have dinner there!!! (Won't happen, for now at least, I live in Madrid Spain) but with your videos, I am falling in love with Brooklyn. Nice job!!!!
Great Vid man as always, btw I think Samsung has the best ultrawide and telephoto camera right now.
It's actually a metal back plate. There's just a plastic coating on it.
What carrier were you using for this video/phone?
Dope Video my man...
🙏
Coffee ☕️
Oh. I have to go to the Google store! I'm going to check that out before I choose a phone. I hate choosing.
great review pity i cant buy it in the uk
Best comparison video
Please make the On Screen Text larger(e.g. Pixel 5a 4k/30(Main)). It's too small for me to read. Thank you!
Great video as always, however this man talks about coffe while he holds a big cup of milk in his hand?!
If the camera is this good on the 5a what’s the 6 going to be like!!!!👀👀👀🔥
meh. you should look at OPPO reno 6. the camera is pretty damn good than this google pixel... and have more rams than a pixel, and of course, it's cheaper than this.
@@syamsul6063 just your opinion.. thanks.
great video
So I have to find a new phone because of AT&T needs me to get a new phone by 2022. I hate that I have to buy another unlocked phone. I'm looking at Pixel 4a 5g, Pixel 5, Pixel 5a 5g, iPhone 11, and the iPhone 12 mini. You know I would buy the iPhones only if they had 128 gb at that price range. I remember the time I had no phone in school and I was okay. I didn't really complain when I barely had a phone in school. I remember the time when I had a flip phone at 50 bucks. I seriously miss simpler times.
Luv it, Luv it! I'm a RWT fan! Chelsea is beautiful btw!! I gotta say, for the price the 5a is a very nice phone that checks most of the boxes. But for now I'm hanging on to my 4a5G and holding out for the 6.
Love this chill vlog! Keep it up!
I hear shooting vid in 4k 60fps makes it hot and stops recording after like some seconds. Should have tested that too but overall nice vid
"Compare against competitors."
Literally compares shots to flagships.. bruh... Pixel Cameras be like.
Would you do a comparison video between the pixel 5A in the pixel 6 non-pro please pretty please?
Will do!
@@TheUnlockr you're the best. You rock bro I love you.
Not bad, sad about not having a better battery experience.
Great video as always, liked and rewatching ( i always miss something from the trip )
he said the battery one one of the best hes ever used...
Finally Google has a phone which can be used as soon as Unboxing it, without any change in settings
I'm hyped for the Pixel 6 pro
Your coffee addiction is as bad as mine!! 🤣
Very interested to see if the Tensor chip inside the Pixel 6 will put standby time in the iPhone category
I'm always curious on phone reviews when the color and the material of the back of the phone are mentioned. I always assume that should be followed up with "which doesn't matter because you're going to have a case on it anyway". I'm wondering are there people who don't use cases on their phone and can this particular phone handle being dropped without cracking the screen? I would rather enjoy the slim profile of the phone without a case if I didn't have to worry about dropping it.
Is the adaptive brightness stable this time ?
Did you have the heating and camera shutting down issue when recording videos?
google acknowledged its a software bug and they're working on fixing
The only reason I watch his videos are because the way he do it.
Tell us how you ask for your coffee?
This phone supports 18W charger. If I use a 20 W charger. Will there be any problems? Please let me know 🙏🙏
Watch the best Real World tech tester on TH-cam with a cup of coffee…check..
As a Pixel 4 user, i'm blown up by the battery life, I only get around 3 to 3:30hrs of SOT
