Unlike its predecessors — the Pixel 3a and Pixel 4a — the new Pixel 5a sports two rear cameras. You get a 16MP ultrawide lens and a 12.2MP main lens. The phone also works with both sub-6GHz and mmWave-based 5G, so you'll be able to use it on just about any mobile carrier. As an added bonus, it's the first water-resistant A-series Pixel, a feature usually reserved for Google's flagship devices.
In terms of battery life, the Pixel 5a sports the largest battery we've ever seen in a Pixel device. In our Google Pixel 5a review, the phone lasted 9 hours and 45 minutes, which is an improvement over the Pixel 4a's time.
Yes, the flagship Pixel 6 is just around the corner and the phone's Google-designed Tensor system-on-chip could make it a serious iPhone 13 competitor. But if you're on a budget and you want a great camera phone, the Pixel 5a is hard to beat.
