When it comes to it’s build materials, it has a plastic back, glass front and a plastic frame. Well, given that the Pixel 5 is seen as Google flagship device, it should have come with a better build material (a glass back and an aluminum frame would have been better).

There is an Octa-core (1×2.4 GHz Kryo 475 Prime & 1×2.2 GHz Kryo 475 Gold & 6×1.8 GHz Kryo 475 Silver) CPU and Adreno 620 GPU present. The CPU and GPU are great and should be able to play heavy games without much hassles.
So far, the phone is expected to come in single variant of, 8GB RAM and 128GB Internal Storage. The RAM size is just okay even though the likes of Samsung Galaxy Note 10 Ultra comes with 12GB of RAM. There is no space for microSD card.
Google Pixel 5: Camera
Talk about best camera phones and the list won’t be complete without a Google Pixel phone (for the past few years).
This phone is expected to have a single 12.2 MP rear camera. Pixel 5 has dual rear camera, a 12.2MP + 8MP ultrawide. These two cameras are capable for taking all the shots your need.
