Google launched its new smartphone called Pixel 5 on October 15th for the US market. What was being speculated as a top-end flagship killer from Google turns out to be an optimum mid-range smartphone and surprisingly, the only smartphone in the Pixel line this year.  For Google’s lifetime as a corporation, they have been a software company which deals in top-of-the-line software amongst other things and this phone is proof of that lineage. As it might not appeal many people with its basic design, it blows the user away with its supremely optimized software which touches every aspect of the phone.  It is priced at $699 in America which is substantially low compared to this years’ iPhone models with the low-end iPhone 12 Mini priced at the same amount. However, Pixel promises a lot of software advancements which works perfectly in tandem with its hardware, especially, its camera. It is expected to launch around December 9 in India for a sum of Rs51,000.
