Google is kicking off its release cycle with the Pixel 5a 5G; this is now Google's next affordable phone. Of course, you are getting a phone similar to the Pixel 4a series, but this device ends up being a lot closer to the Pixel 5 than anything else.

Visually, the Pixel 5a 5G is almost the same as the Pixel 4a 5G. However, you are only getting the phone in Mostly Black. The phone measures 156.2mm x 73.2 x 8.8 and 183 grams, and one of the main upgrades here is the metal unibody that has replaced the polycarbonate body that we saw last year. It is, of course, coated in plastic, just like the Pixel 5 with five lawyers of forest green paint, but you will actually like the added heft. Notably, this is also the first a-series phone with IP67 water resistance, and you are still getting a headphone jack.
