- Check out my new preset system that I used to edit the photos in this video! It works great for both RAW files from cameras and JPGS from phones. See how it works here: www.azvisuals.com/store

The new Google Pixel 5a is here and comes with minor improvements over the previous generation. However, the little bits do add up and make this an overall great device for the mid-range category. Especially since you are getting that google magic with the camera system.
In this video, I dive deep into the camera system, and pixel peep the images at 100% zoom. I take the pixel out to NYC and do some night street photography to really see what it is capable of.

What a great review! I have the Pixel 5, but now I can comfortably recommend the 5a to family and friends who don't mind the lack of manual camera controls.
Love these kinds of in depth image analysis, aside from the usual thumbnail reviewers giving full-praises to every product they review.
Thanks! Yeah when viewing images in full, most will look good. But zooming in and pixel peeping is where you can really see the details and differences between the devices
Absolute dream phone, with minimal design and best camera.
Google king of camera quality ... iphone king of videography
Best phone camera review so far. I am listening and just subscribed. Awesome content. Keep it up!
Thanks for this neat video all the best buddy.
I can't wait for you to review pixel 6.
Thinking of buying one, this is a really great review, thank you so much!
This is how a photographic review should be...
Great ❤️
Thanks for watching!
Now that is how you do a camera review. First time viewer, loved the content
Awesome, thank you!
Trust me bro. Google phones are like love it or hate it. But honestly camera picture quality is neck to neck with iphone even better
. Much better than the iPhone... Maybe a picture or two yes .. But overall... The pixel wins in my opinion
@@deankaltsas ya, iPhone pics are too saturated.
@@deankaltsas Iphone fanboys that's illegal 🤣
No way..... They're good. But not hands down better. And they took a lot of years to get there while they kept saying they were the best. Only the latest model can complete. Let's see what happens with the new pixel 6 pro. After all the pixel has been using the same camera module for like 4 years....
@Angella Jarvis kidding about what?
Subbed you for you in depth analysis and review of camera of smartphones. Looking forward for much hyped pixel 6/6 pro
Great analysis and as a former techie I wanna add the reason there's no pro mode/manual controls is Google can only accomplish those great photos through computational algorithms. The cameras are the same ones used since the Pixel 2 and if you had a Pro mode it would look terrible anyway, unless they combined pro mode with computational photography and then it would look great. Yeah, that would work. I liked and subscribed.
Thanks. I’m planning on buying one this week and your video helps
That's awesome! Thanks for watching
Really great in-depth review of the cameras of the Pixel 5A! ❤️
Thanks for watching!
I really liked this video, I highly agree on a pro mode for the Pixel series. I have the 4a5G and a Sony A7III and it bothers me when I want to set certain things the way I would on my ILC but my phone doesn't have that option. Also not having AF/AE separate bothers me for panning video shots. Sept 13 is meant to be the phone announcement date so let's see.
The computational RAW is so damn good though. I really appreciate it. It's the only thing that negates my annoyance with no customisable White Balance.
Thanks for your thoughts! I also have an A7III and I agree no manual control really sucks sometimes, but yeah the computational photography is surprisingly clean. Let's see what the Pixel 6 series holds!
Great review
Love form Bangladesh 🇧🇩 really nice & organized review ❤️
As always amazing video!
Hey thanks for the kind words!
I absolutely love your videos! as always, great analysis! say hi to brazill 💜
Appreciate the love!
Thanks a lot for your info, sample pics. Since the price in Thailand are lower a lot than before. I would go for it tmr. Pixel 5a!
One of the greatest reviewer i have ever seen you earned a new subscriber 😊😊😊
Thanks for the kind words!! Really appreciate it
One of the greatest review of Pixel 5a. As a user of Pixel 5 I don't see any reason to switch my device to 5a but still P5a rocks.
Fantastic review. Loved the in-depth zooms to point out noise, edges and focus.
Thanks! Yeah zooming in really reveals details that you wouldn't be able to see when looking at the whole thing
What a great review! I wish I could have bought this phone. Thanks
This really interesting to forward for pixel 6 series!
love the content you make
Thanks for the support!
Best photography review 🔥
Love the pixel peeping !
awesome
love from Pro Editing Looks
Great review! I got it for my girlfriend. Updating/trading in Galaxy S9, and this phone was checking all the boxes for her criteria: Didn't want a flagship, a good camera, and has a headphone jack. She uses Bluetooth of course but if it has an option for headphone jack, it's a bonus. When I saw this was available I was in because it's stock Android, I like the 3 years of updates (but we may end up trading it in before the 3rd because these dern phones are improving year-to-year), and I've heard nothing but good things about the camera for pixels, and although this is a mid tier phone, the camera will be just fine for what she'll be using it for when it comes to no fuss Video Calls/chats and point-and-shoot pictures. But, def subbed to your channel and look forward to your other content.
Hey thanks for your input! It looks like this phone really does check the boxes. Hope she likes it!
Love this beauty ❣️
Being a hobbyist photographer, loved the review. Side note though: What use is a new device launch if you cannot purchase it in most countries?!
Thanks! And yeah the limited release really sucks :(
Those countries weren't their main concern lol
I agree with Abhijit 👆. This review was informative and enjoyable. You calm steady voice is relaxing and allows one to enjoy the images without jarring commentary.
Subscribed ✅ Liked 👍🏽 and commented ✍🏽
@@whysoserious4464 because they don't know how big a market India is. And that's ok. We got, made in India iPhones 👍
Excelent review! 👍🏻
your voice sounds so smooth and clear, it really makes watching the video so much easier.
Thank you! I try to keep it relaxed and clear to deliver the information
Many thanks. Great review.
Good review Bro! Thank you 🙏🏾👊🏾💯
Very informative! First time watching your content! Looking forward to more! I already preordered because I'll be upgrading from a 4a,and 5g is now in my area. Looking to find more analysis on the photo aspect of phones. Thanks!
Awesome, thanks! I'm glad you found the content valuable.
Thanks alex Zhang ive been looking for this kind of review just because of the camera 🤓❤️🇵🇭🇵🇭
hii, can you please confirm if it still has the astrophotography mode in the nightsight like the other pixels?
I'm not really a photographer, but I think I appreciate an in-depth critical view with minimal shouting much more than the average review. Nice job!
Good review thank you.........I received this phone today
Good review. Great to hear a photographer perspective on a phone camera. Did you try using one of the other photo/camera apps? Wonder if something like Camera FV5 would give you full manual control?
I have yet to use a Pixel but did install GCam for my LG V30. The LG had full manual control, raw files etc but I found in any landscape situation that the GCam shot was better than the LG manual control and raw could get.
Yeah you can use third party apps, but then you lose the magic of the google processing so it's a tradeoff. Like I said in the video 99% of the time taking a photo in auto will come out better anyway, it's just that sometimes you really do need manual contorls
@@azvisuals agree that sometimes you want manual control. Since my LG V30 was on Sprint I have to get a new device and went and ordered the 5A. Looking forward to testing it out and seeing what the camera does compared to my LG.
I know the 6 is coming this fall but I am afraid of potential supply chain issues might delay it, the rumors of a premium price also make me think $1000+ price. So 5A it is!
@@trtabb2225 yeah the rumors make it sound like the 6 will be a lot more expensive :( I'm excited to see what they come out with though!
Sooo it sounds like you *didn't* use a manual cam app? I think it's always been this way with G cam app, it's for casual users, not pro photogs
@@trtabb2225 I just went from a V30 to a Pixel 5. Same camera as the 5a with better auto focus. Huge camera upgrade.
Nice video you win o onoder subscribers keep going👌
Is there any benefit to using a third party camera app? I use OpenCamera on my current phone and it gives a lot more control - maybe not fully manual, but a lot more than any stock app I've ever seen. Is there just a hardware limit on how much you can take control of?
Been on the pixel XL for 5 years. Just preordered the 5A. Looking forward to the upgrade
been using pixel 1 since the launch, the camera is still a beast.
Hey..are you happy with the mobile? I'm considering the 5a too..
Just ordered one!
Great review! Love to get a photographers perspective on this phone.
Thanks for watching!
Please, upload your pixel photos at any cloud. I'm impressed with that photo's.
By the way, nice video. Glad to hear review about Google pixel camera from photographer
Good review bro. Fellow pixel user
Thanks!
hey! great video as always, giving attention to smartphones like this from a real photographers view
Thanks for watching!
@@azvisuals np! cant wait to see your next video!
really good review!
Thanks for watching!
This is the pixel to buy. Form factor is excellent. Ip 68 rating. Excellent cameras.
the termination of unlimited storage of google photos holding me back.
Great video, I just subscribed to your channel! ^^
Thanks for the support!!
Thanks for the awesome video! How is the phone for close-up or macro photos?? Thanks!
Wow..it deserves more views
i feel like the overheating while video will be addressed when android 12 comes, no? otherwise idk why they wouldnt have rolled out an update by now to fix that like they have in the past
You are the only reviewer who showed the real color of 5A. Nice job!!!
Thanks! It's really hard to capture on camera
Hey! Can you suggest any app which can enable you to have the pro mode? I'm considering on buying the Pixel 5a right now!
Nice review Alex 👍🏿
Thanks! 👍
Alex Zhang - Hi mate, first of all great review. I'm planning to buy one, however I'm a bit skeptical on the same as the recent reviews suggest that there are heating issues while recording the video in 4k 60 fps. So just wanted to know did you find any heating issues in general while operating the camera or handset
Also can you please name what's that background music in the video. Thanks.
Thanks! The device does overheat around 10min when recording in warm/hot weather. But in normal use I didn't notice it since I don't usually record clips that long.
Recently got my pixel 5a and wanted to ask are the vertical lines thru the camera normal?
"You can't see the trees, but they are there!" That's my comment about my P5a picture to my friends while taking pictures at night
Tip: if you want a 'pro mode' the astrophotography is a decent substitute for non star pics like car light trails and such.
Damn what are these presets. omg thats dope
what is the image size you get in google photos? i get around 10 to14 MB of image size.
Dope video!👍
Appreciate the support!
What a Good Video Sir! Nice editing, ambiance, mic, content, everything is good!
Appreciate the kind words! Thanks
Liked before the video even started because I know I can expect great content from you👍👍
Appreciate you ❤️
Pixel camera always mind blowing.
Very useful video about pixel camera..like it bro...
Any suggestions for a Pro mode option ? @Alex
Which is better in terms of camera? Moto edge 20 or pixel 5a?
I see you have a Realme case? What do you think about this pixel 5a camera vs realme x2 pro? I need to eventually get a more US compatible phone, but it's hard not to downgrade and keep a headphone jack. 😒
Camera looking promising as well as your review 🔥
Appreciate it!
Google starting to do real improvement now to especially with their cameras
Yeah they are usually good about software updates so hopefully it can only get better
Good review, I bought one, happy so far. :) I add my favorite pro camera app.
Awesome! Which app do you use? Would love to hear your feedback
@@azvisuals Disclosure: I'm not a "real" photographer. I shoot YT videos, "Do it Yourself" stuff to help folks save money, a lot of automotive, not "artistic" at all. But I do use Cinema FV-5 Lite (for videos). It's out of date for later android versions but still offers more control over settings. YOU might do a nice video comparing 3rd party apps for camera & video. For newer android phone/cameras. This app has a "pro(er)" pay version. As you know most of the pay versions are very low cost & a bit better featured than the free one. Thanks, Subbed.
One of the best review! Thanks
Nice to see Chinatown! NYC...
If you get an next update of camera improvements pls make another video.
Im looking to upgrade my phone, Galaxy S8. Can you recomend options with manual mode?
Just order the phone. Hope your channel grows. Just sub
Thanks!
Please try using third party camera app like manual camera or open camera and see if it supports long exposure upto 30 sec or not
Thank bro👍🏼
Switched to Google with 4xl now have the 5 after 10 iPhone I'll never go back pixal is by fare the best experience imo. Glad I clicked great job on the review . ( still gonna buy the 5a though)
Thanks for your input! Appreciate the support
Nice review. Processing is only thing which doesn't depend on pixels.
I bought it from Germany and I'm super excited
nice! enjoy it
I have the same problem with blurriness on my pixel 4a 5g.
Btw, great video!
Thanks for your input! Hopefully they can improve it with software updates
What application was that photo editing software?
Does the shutter lag? My 3a XL does compared to the 2.
Really disappointed to know there's no pro mode. Does Pixel 4a come with it? I'm considering these two phones but was inclined towards 5a as it is a newer model and comes with IP67 protection.
No I don't think any pixels have pro mode unfortunately
Would you take this over a Mi 10T pro?
This video is amazing 👏
Thanks!
@@azvisuals welcome
Is pixel 5a have option for astro photography or not ?
I love photoshoot what phone should I take i am confused
With that kinda logics. You've earned yaself a new subscriber 👍🏽
Appreciate you!
@@azvisuals most welcome bro
Perfect 🔥
My pixel 5A arriving tommorow. cant wait. Skipped the pixel 6 seems an experimental device
Nice! 5a seems to have less bugs for sure
Does pixel 5A have astrophotography mode?
Also, your video is the first one that shows how green this phone actually is. Some reviewers have mentioned it, but none show it this well.
Yeah my unit def looks really green. Like plant green. Nowhere near black
@@azvisuals another reviewer said it was mostly black but definitely green 😂
If this is released in India. I will definitely buy it.
Yeah the limited release sucks :(
Hows a Motorola one 5g ace camera? I heard the back has 48mp
