The Pixel 5 rocks the mid-range Snapdragon 765G platform, a massive compromise Google made for its flagship series last year. Reports at the time said Google chose the 765G to save money and pass those savings to the customer. The 765G can’t match the Snapdragon 865 that powers many of last year’s Android flagships, and it’s no match for the iPhone 11 and iPhone SE, let alone the iPhone 12. But the Pixel 5 is an affordable 5G phone — the Pixel 4a (5G) is even better. The good news is that Google might make everything forgotten with the Pixel 6, which is expected to feature Google’s first custom System-on-Chip (SoC) for a Pixel phone. But until then, Pixel 5 owners are in for what appears to be a significant performance boost, as an Android security update seems to deliver a fix for a GPU problem they might not have known they had.
