What's better a Pixel 5 or Pixel 4a?

The Pixel 5 will be a little better at multitasking than the Pixel 4a, as it has 8GB of RAM to the cheaper phone's 6GB. Both devices come with 128GB of storage, though.

Should I buy a Pixel 5 or a Pixel 4a 5G?

It all boils down to the hardware and finish. The Pixel 4a 5G and the Pixel 5 share around 80% of the same DNA, which makes your decision much easier in many ways. Do you want an IP water and dust resistance rating, premium materials, 90Hz display, and wireless charging? If so, the Pixel 5 is for you.
