Google Pixel 5 is the successor of the Pixel 4 series. Google has redesigned the Pixel 5. The phone doesn’t have thick bezels around the edge which is a relief now. The display is edge-to-edge design with bezels around the edge although the chin is still considerably thick. There’s a punch-hole to the top-left corner that helped get rid of top bezels. The rear has a dual-camera setup on the top-left corner enclosed within a square-shaped camera bump.

A circular-shaped fingerprint scanner right next to the camera bump and there’s a Google logo at the bottom. As with previous Pixel devices, there’s a white accented power button on the right side on its Just Black colour variant.

There’s Always-On Display which is one of the important features on flagship phones right now.
