The most logical choices you can get right now include the Google Pixel 6 Pro and the Pixel 6. They are arguably the best Pixels phones ever made. If you don’t have $700 to pony up on a smartphone though, then you might be well served by the Pixel 5a (5G) or, heck, even the Pixel 4 or the Pixel 4 XL.
While researching we ran into the question “Which Google Pixel phone should you buy?”.
Currently, the Pixel 5a is easily the best value Pixel phone available out there, with the best ratio between features and price. The Pixel 4a is available in two differently sized flavors: 5.8 and 6.2-inch versions, the latter of which is 5G-capable and carries the 4a 5G name.
While we were writing we ran into the inquiry “Which Google Pixel phone is best for gaming?”.
Of all the Pixel phones, the Pixel 4 is clearly the device of choice for mobile gamers though it’s a shame we didn’t get the Snapdragon 855 Pluswith its improved graphics performance. While the Pixel 3’s set-up still performs well enough, the Pixel 3a struggles with intensive 3D games on higher settings.
What is the newest Pixel phone?
The latest Pixel phone release is the Pixel 5, the Pixel 4a, and the newly launched Pixel 4a 5G. The Pixel 5 is the flagship phone, while the Pixel 4a and the Pixel 4a 5G are Google’s mid-range offerings.
Is the Pixel phone better than other Android phones?
They’re all still Android phones at a source code-level, so you get most of the same functionality, but they all look and function slightly differently. And most aren’t great, either. With a Pixel phone, you get the purest Android experience possible ; it’s Android just as Google intended.
Another popular query is “Is the pixel 6 Pro the best phone ever?”.
Google Pixel 6 Pro The Google Pixel 6 Pro is arguably the first truly top-end phone Google has ever made, and certainly the first one in a while. Yet it takes a different approach to most flagships, and to most Pixels. Its design is all-new, and very different to other phones from any brand.
Another frequent query is “Is the Google Pixel 6 worth the hype?”.
This is the Pixel phone I always wanted from Google. I spent over a week with the new phone and it lives up to a lot of the hype. The Pixel 6 starts at $599 (£599, AU$999) and comes with 128GB of storage. For that price, I can’t think of a better phone to recommend right now.
What is the cheapest Google Pixel phone?
The Pixel 6 Pro is the flagship phone, while the Pixel 6 is Google’s entry-level model. The Pixel 4a is currently the “newest” cheapest Google Pixel phone, although you can get some killer deals on Google’s Pixel 3a and Pixel 3a XL, as well as older models like the Pixel 4 and Pixel 4 XL.
That’s surprising because Pixel 5 in US was more expensive because they specifically added UWB antennas for full access to Verizon’s network. If you don’t care about 5G, just put your existing sim in the new phone. All my phones over the past few years have been unlocked.
Can I use my Pixel phone on any mobile network?
Use your Pixel phone on any mobile network. To use a phone on any mobile network, not just the phone seller’s network, the phone must be SIM-unlocked. Your phone can come SIM-locked or SIM-unlocked, depending where you bought it.
My favorite answer was Welcome to the Google Pixel Community forum. Yes, the US unlocked Pixel 5 will work on Verizon, and with Verizon’s mm. Wave 5G network as well.
But not all Pixel 5a (5G), Pixel 5, and Pixel 4a (5G) phones work on all 5G networks. Check with your carrier to make sure your phone works on its 5G network. See a list of certified carriers. If you have a SIM-unlocked phone, you can use your Pixel with any mobile service provider.
Another common question is “Can I use a 4G SIM card in a pixel 5?”.
I learned my wife has a Pixel 5 with a 4G LTE sim in it. We use US Mobile, which is a Verizon MVNO. No issues at all. European here I just put my sim card from pixel 2 to pixel 5 and have 5G on the display.
