If you hold Google's new Pixel 5 next to the 4a 5G model, it's hard to tell which one it is.

The two phones look nearly identical and aren’t all that different on the inside, either. They both have extra wide-angle cameras and run Android 11. The $699 Pixel 5 does have a few extra features, including more RAM, a slightly larger battery, and wireless charging. But the 4a is no slouch either and costs less at $499.

There’s a lot to like about both phones. They both share the Pixel’s signature design, which sets the standard for elegant minimalism. And they both offer Google’s pure Android experience, albeit without the bloatware that plagues handsets from many other manufacturers.

For those wanting more features, the Pixel 5 is the one to get. It has a 6-inch, 2340×1080, 90Hz OLED display. This resolution and refresh rate should be fine for most users, but keep in mind that some manufacturers are offering phones with even higher 120Hz refresh rates, which may make for a smoother scrolling and video viewing experience.
