Tech & Science

Google Google's Pixel 5a With 5G is like your most worn-in, comfortable pair of shoes. It isn't flashy, and no one is likely to stop you to ask you about it, but from the moment you turn it on and sync your data, you're done fiddling with it. Technology enthusiasts may be annoyed that there's nothing interesting to figure out about this phone after spending a minute or two with it, but the vast majority of people are going to love that it fades into the background and does just what they need a phone to do.

For the people wanting to debate specs or own something visually noteworthy, the Pixel 6 will be coming in fall 2021. Even after the new flagship smartphone from Google arrives, I think a lot of people will still be attracted to what the Pixel 5a has to offer. While it's a very modest spec bump over previous Pixel phones, it is better. It's price might be the most compelling element of it, however, and makes it a tremendous value.
