Head to Head: Pixel 4 vs Pixel 5 (Benchmark, GPS, Screen, Speaker, Browser)

My usual head to head tests, the Pixel 4, Google's flagship from last year, against the Pixel 5, this years midrange device. Which will fair better?

Tested on app opening (Angry Birds 2), Benchmark (Geekbench 5), GPS test, speaker test, screen brightness and a browser test (Chrome Browser). I also throw in the battery test results for good measure!

It amazes me how close the 700 series snapgragons are now to the 800 series. Loved the speakers on the Pixel 4 though.
Great comparison Andy.

Speaker isn't just volume. The 5 distorts everything. It does sound marginally better than a potato though.

Great set of tests, which I haven't seen carried out by any other reviewers. Thanks Andy

Super comparison. I have pixel 2 xl, but I love pixel 4 xl over pixel 5 because of SD855, speaker and facial recognition.

[stuartwalmsley]

Really interesting, not much in it, !
Thanks for doing the review ☺️

I chose a certified pre-owned Pixel 4 and my only complaint is face unlock in the pandemic age. I miss fingerprint readers. But it was a little bit cheaper, and far more environmentally responsible to buy used. No regrets.

Great video. How many apps work with Google’s face unlock in the uk. May switch to the 4 instead of the 5 coming from a pixel 3

[mackmccord]

Good test! You should do the screen brightness test with adaptive brightness on being that the screens get brighter with it on. That's what we wanna see since that's how we use our phones

[myasin]

Ok so great video thank you. I've got the pixel 4 bought it on eBay for £320, very tempted to get the 5 for the battery life but the speaker volume does put me off. I would rather stick to a small phone. I know the 4a 5G would be a better alternative but it is bigger and I don't want that. The 4a has better battery but misses the 5G.

[mojjammil]

The battery vote will go for Pixel 5 though given the larger capacity.

[SriHari]

Great review Sir. Can we expect pixel 4a 4g vs pixel 5 Speaker test and battery drain test..?

[RzeskiGrzeski]

Hi Andy. Thanks for the video. I am considering switching from Pixel 3. Any chance you could compare the processing of the taken photo (since Pixel 5 does not have the neural chip)?

[regusankar]

Nice video.. Can you do battery drain test .

[Tanstattoo]

Could you do a battery drain test between the pixel 4 and pixel 5? I have the pixel 3, 4 and 4a and the 4a does much better. Heavy use on the 4a, lite use on the 4 and the 4a still does a better job.

[rakiable]

Have you decided whether 5 will replace your 4 as a daily?

[filipd]

How much is the difference in image processing time between these two?

[davidmartrano]

Keeping my 4xl, why? The 855, face unlock and I luv the squeeze feature. Plus that under display 🔊sounds muffled. It was not such a swell idea. The other two sound better? Plus at 7oo.oo + tax, nah. Should have been 550.00to600.00 max. The 765 is still a mid-range processor? Google chose a new road with the five, but it's not my bandwagon? But a 5xl would have turned my spokes, waiting for the pixels6 or not! Besides, Amazon just sold me an S20 FE for 549.00, the 865 & 120hz display. Great price for what's offered!

[SuperMan-ujdh]

Nice skin? Where did you get it from? I like it!!!

[zephyrmanuel]

Can we use a Pixel 4 case for the Pixel 5?

[PG-cseu]

Google pixel 4 xl or 5 which is better camera and performance.. Which all rounder good
