Setting up my phone for the first time. Took at off charger to set up. Cold as Ice. I don't know what people are talking about. Phones heat up when charging and pushed to the limit. Every phone I ever had.

It did get a bit warm the first day while putting it through the paces. So far haven't experienced that in normal use though.
[Google Pixel 5 Real Life Review] jimv1983:
It does get pretty hot. That's not very promising for long term battery life.

At the club, at the bar, or just in your mom's basement, nighttime is when you come out to play. Rate this thread to express how the Google Pixel 5's camera performs when no or low light is present. A higher rating indicates that the camera sensor "sees" lots of light in dim conditions, and that the resulting photos have minimal noise. A higher rating also indicates that when the flash fires, the resulting photo is evenly-lit without any bright spots.

Then, drop a comment if you have anything to add!
[Google Pixel 5 Real Life Review] Mdizzle1:
Really impressive low light performance as expected.

Night mode portrait shots are unreal. I have been comparing to my wife's pixel 4 and the difference really is night and day
[Google Pixel 5 Real Life Review] jimv1983:
That's interesting that the night mode has better results on the Pixel 5 compared to the Pixel 4. The camera hardware and software are both exactly the same.

[Google Pixel 5 Real Life Review] MrBelter:
Low light photos taken with the wide lens are horrendous, once the ISO creeps up they are quickly become unusable with terrible noise towards the corners.

Of course you can use night sight and then you don't have a lowlight photo any more.
[Google Pixel 5 Real Life Review] MrBelter:
They have not improved it at all have they, wide angle low light shots are absolutely crap

1st picture taken in portrait mode, find it amazing!
[Google Pixel 5 Real Life Review] Leeside:
Can someone please give me a heads-up with the camera settings. I'm new to pixel phones.

With regards to the ratio, would 4:3 be more optimum for portrait shots and when taking landscape shots I should switch to 16:9?

Can these also be pre-set or do I have to change it each time?

Is the leveling bar just informing you of how level your lens angle is, and when it hits "0", you are good to go?

thanks and forgive my noobery.
[Google Pixel 5 Real Life Review] thesebastian:
16:9 will be a cropped version of 4:3. If you want to manually crop the photos (because you have time for it) then I recommend 4:3.

Just remember where did you focused.

Personally for close ups I switch to 4:3 and for every day usage I go with 16:9.

One example. I set focus point on green led (edge of monitor) but there is focus on back wall ...

[Google Pixel 5 Real Life Review] MrBelter:
The ultra wide doesn't have AF, it is a fixed focus lens and your monitor was just too close to be in focus.

Selfie cam terrible

I just got my Pixel 5 today here in the US. I have to say, in comparison to my Pixel 3 XL this selfie camera is terrible! Images seem blurry. I even stood in front of a window and turned on additional lighting. How have none of the reviewers noticed this?? Is this limited to my phone?
[Google Pixel 5 Real Life Review] TX-Brad:
My one reservation on buying this phone is the lack of telephoto...my kids both have sports in which I use zoom frequently. Does anyone have feedback on this...perhaps coming from a Pixel 4?
[Google Pixel 5 Real Life Review] MrBelter:
The 2x digital zoom is pretty good, it isn't optical good but it isn't far off.

---------- Post added at 09:48 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:38 AM ----------

It is hard to judge just on that, maybe you would do the same thing outside using strong natural lighting rather than using a ring light and looking you are about to go on Tinder. I actually prefer the Pixel 5 shot if i am honest, a touch of unsharp mask and the job's a good'un.

[MENTION=253116]becksvector[/MENTION]: That's a good portrait pic!, really, it looks pretty much like a magazine illustration grade picture.

I stopped at my favorite spot to take low light pics tonight, been going to the same place since OP6 then S10e, N10+, Pixel 4a and now Pixel 5 so I can compare different camera takes. The second pic is w/ 'night sight'
[Google Pixel 5 Real Life Review] Bossssss66:
Poor front camera

Why is nobody talking about how poor the front facing camera is on this thing....
[Google Pixel 5 Real Life Review] mzsquared:
My Pixel 5 sucks actually.

I don't see the pixel camera quality in my pictures anymore, the Pixel 4a I've had earlier was taking much better pics then I see it now on P5. I have no gap alright but it seems to me that they 'misaligned' somehow the camera lenses. Just got home from my walk and the pictures I took look like were taken w/ some disposable camera from the past. Idk, the whole point of having this phone was to have a nice pocket phone able to take a decent photos. I also took some 4k/60 videos and they look horrible as well, lots of blotches and washouts caused by light coming from different directions.

What is your opinion about these, am I exaggerating?
[Google Pixel 5 Real Life Review] CrashTestDroid:
Pixel 5 vs iPhone 11 Pro. The 5's better at indoor motion (kids, pets) and wide angle. The Pro's better at everything else. 3 stars.
[Google Pixel 5 Real Life Review] crusht:
IMO they look pretty awesome but I'm no photo expert. What is the problem "you" see in these pictures?
[Google Pixel 5 Real Life Review] mzsquared:
Contrast, not sharp enough is my first impression - am looking at them on my desktop screen, the pics just look like a very low quality photos.

11/07/20 Update

Went to the same spot today, ~same time but w/ Note 10+(the weather here in NE is unbelievable, 73Farenheit for the second day!) I'm not trying to bash Pixel5 camera, I guess I had bad luck with mine, other people had a 'gap' I hadn't, the whole 'gap' debacle made me question their QC, if they think that gap was just fine to let it pass and insist that's a feature so, how about the more precise components like camera? Not a confidence builder.

Anyways, packed my p5 and sent it back, I might try the 4a 5G later on after the initial pre-sale hype, will see. I liked the, 4a I've had it for a few weeks, didn't complain about the pictures but the phone itself was kinda flimsy with the cracking noises coming from loose housing panels.

And here is Note10+ pic to compare, not altered w/photoshop just point&shoot.:

Are you kidding?? How many update note 10+ has on camera and how many the pixel 5.. Give me a break pls. Go go night mode with note 10+ vs pixel 5??
[Google Pixel 5 Real Life Review] mzsquared:
There are serious limitations for Pixel, the sensor is what, like 4 years old? That means the Pixel 5 camera underwent a whole 4 years of continuous software updates. It's time for a bigger sensor to let more light in, software updates won't improve the rig alone. Samsung puts more research and money into that department.

I might take a chance w/ Pixel 4a 5G and if that doesn't work then time-wise, I'll get closer to new s21 release.

And yes, I have examples of night mode pics: n10+(top, taken last year) and P5(link below, pretty much same time of the year) xda uploader doesn't work(again)

[Google Pixel 5 Real Life Review] MrBelter:
The sensor in my pair of Canon 70D are 7 or 8 years old but it doesn't make them crap. The sensor in the Pixel 5 may well be coming to the limit of what can be achieved with software but the fact it is still competitive against the newest phones using the latest sensors is remarkable.

Are you comparing 22.5x15mm Canon sensor to Pixel camera?

In the 1980s, A&W tried to compete with McDonald's Quarter Pounder by selling a 1/3 pound burger at a lower cost. The product failed, because most customers thought the 1/4 pound was bigger.

This is why I don't like arguing online.

[Google Pixel 5 Real Life Review] MrBelter:
Don't be a silly burger, you are prattling on about the age of the sensor in the Pixel 5, i was making the point that the age has very little to do with it, a good sensor is a good sensor hence the inclusion of an 8 year old example :rolleyes:
[Google Pixel 5 Real Life Review] mzsquared:
It's all right, I'll have a chance to play with Pixel camera again, ordered4a5g.
[Google Pixel 5 Real Life Review] woolmonkey:
And the sensor in the pixel was never a good sensor. The software made it good. Now they are just stuck there and everyone has either caught up or passed them.
[Google Pixel 5 Real Life Review] MrBelter:
Talk about splitting hairs, it may be an old sensor that was "never a good sensor" but is still right up there with the best of them (just) and its clearly good enough to have been used and remain competitive for the last few years. Regardless of how good Googles computational photography is do you really think no one else uses post processing on the images their products produce be they phones or cameras?
[Google Pixel 5 Real Life Review] woolmonkey:
I don’t know could be Google’s computational photography is dependent on this sensor and they didn’t really make it transferable. It is good overall but Google was so far ahead of the completion and now they are not. They are in the mix don’t know if they do anything better then anyone else. There lake of a “zoom” lens is stupid their digital zoom is not as good no matter how much they wish it.

I read that the 5 has a 16M wide sensor.

Do the image files come out 16M?
[Google Pixel 5 Real Life Review] v:
Just answered my question myself:

"Yes, they do. ;)"
[Google Pixel 5 Real Life Review] MrBelter:
Well they do and they dont, as a JPEG the 16MP wide shots are saved at 12.2MP but when shot in raw they are saved at 16MP, have a wider field of view and as a consiquence a lot more edge distortion. However with the raw files you're going to have your work cut out to get them as good as the JPEGs that have had the Google computational photography treatment.
[Google Pixel 5 Real Life Review] MrBelter:
I'm willing to bet the next google phone has a new sensor now everyone is as equal if not better but i think the only benefit will be better noise control and not image quality. Even with all the new sensors huge pixel counts using pixel binning they have only just caught up with the computational photography, it is testament to what Google have achieved really.

I am still in 2 minds about the digital zoom and to the casual observer i don't think anyone would notice it is digital zoom (when used at 2x). I took 2 photos one at 1x and one at 2x and i cropped the 1x photo to match the 2x photo so one was a digital zoom and one was a sensor cropped zoom and i could hardly tell a difference which is odd because the cropped image should have been much better quality.

Hi, I consider getting the pixel 5 and found some samples in raw format and the strange thing is that the ones from the wide camera were just 6mp(I downloaded to check them in lightroom). Can you confirm that they come out 16mp, because it's quite strange - I don't imagine cropping the distortion can bring down the raw to 6mp, even if there is such an automatic option in the app(the samples were unedited raw).

[Google Pixel 5 Real Life Review] THEVAN3D:
Bad. Selfies are really bad with Pixel 5. I came to Pixel 5 from 2XL and it took far superior selfies. Pixel 5 selfies are not sharp (misfocused) and they are smoothed out even with all the face retouch settings disabled. I have no idea why, but it lacks the classic "pixel look". Main camera is awesome tho.
[Google Pixel 5 Real Life Review] gpap2004:
I cannot understand why Google makes the images taken from the front camera been not Sharp. Initially the picture is taken sharp but the phone ends up with a not Sharp one

0:10 "Photo processing time without dedicated Pixel/Neural Core. I would like to see the processing time for a NightSight photo vs. Pixel 4."

According to this article, there is no need for the neural core, as the 765G has its own Computer Vision Image Signal Processor and a Hexagon-DSP: https://www.androidauthority.com/google-pixel-5-snapdragon-765g-1163847/

"Given that the Pixel 5 doesn’t include Google’s in-house Pixel Neural Core, it’s probably safe to assume that the 765G offers all the performance Google needs to run its Night Mode, HDR+, Super Res Zoom, and various voice features." - I hope so. Maybe Google simply wanted to keep the price down?

The 4a 5G will process HDR+/NightSight as fast as the Pixel 5, if the Neural Core is no longer needed! :)
