Google Pixel 5 is launching in Australia, France, Germany, Ireland, Japan, and Taiwan on October 15, with a launch in the U.S. and Canada to follow on October 29. The phone packs 128GB of storage, though interestingly a higher storage capacity version isn't available, and the Pixel 5 doesn't support microSD cards to expand that capacity further.

    • Reverse wireless charging support
While previous Pixel models have been flagship positioned, Google has changed direction slightly. The Pixel 5 moves onto Qualcomm Snapdragon 765G hardware rather than opting for the flagship SD865 or SD865 Plus. The SD765G hardware integrates 5G but is much more affordable.

There's 8GB of RAM onboard, along with 128GB of internal storage. You won't find microSD for storage expansion either.

There is a jump in battery capacity compared to the Pixel 4 and Pixel 4 XL, with a 4000mAh capacity in the Pixel 5. Both wireless charging and reverse wireless charging are on board.

In terms of biometrics, the Pixel 4 offered face unlock but no fingerprint sensor. While Soli made for great seamless unlocking on Pixel 4, it wasn't great for design and the other features it supported was a little gimmicky. As mentioned above, however, Google has returned to a simple rear fingerprint scanner for the Pixel 5.

The Pixel 5 is one of Google's first 5G phones, alongside the Pixel 4a 5G, allowing it to take advantage of faster data speeds. In Google's presentation, the company demonstrated the benefits this speed increase means for downloading videos and streaming games over Stadia. But one of the Pixel 5's best 5G-related features is how it can extend that signal to other devices, using its 5G hotspot feature.

The Pixel 5 supports millimetre-wave 5G as well as sub-6GHz 5G, meaning that it'll deliver slightly faster speeds than LTE in most of the country and exponentially faster speeds in metro areas.
