Point and shoot<\/h3>\nGoogle Pixel 5<\/h4>\n
$700 at Amazon<\/a><\/p>\n The Pixel 5 offers the purest possible Android experience, with clean Android 11 software and some of the best cameras around. It’s the first in line for new versions of Android and comes in a small form factor with all-day battery life.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n $700 at Amazon<\/a><\/p>\n The Galaxy S20 FE has modern specs and amenities in a plastic body that helps bring the price down. You get a gorgeous flat display, along with top-end cameras and years of guaranteed software support.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n<\/div>\n The Pixel 5 and Galaxy S20 FE are two of the most exciting phones of the year \u2014 not because they offer outlandish or experimental features but because they bring the amenities typically reserved for flagship devices to a more affordable price without making any major compromises. These are two of the best Android phones<\/a> around, with high refresh rate displays and their own sets of excellent cameras, but which is best for you?<\/p>\n The Pixel 5 launched on Oct. 15, 2020, with a single configuration featuring 128GB of non-expandable UFS 2.1 storage and 8GB of RAM. In the U.S., it’s available either unlocked or through Verizon for $700 in either Just Black or Sorta Sage.<\/p>\n Meanwhile, the S20 FE launched on Oct. 2, 2020 at the same $700 price point, initially with just one configuration with 128GB of UFS 3.1 expandable storage and 6GB of RAM, though a subsequent variant has been released featuring double the storage at 256GB. The S20 FE is available in Cloud Navy, Cloud Lavender, Cloud Mint, Cloud Red, Cloud White, and Cloud Orange \u2014 though the 256GB model is only available in Cloud Navy.<\/p>\n As far as hardware goes, one of the more interesting aspects of these phones is that neither features the commonplace glass back. Instead, the Pixel 5<\/a> is made of aluminum, then covered in a bio-resin that makes it feel almost more like plastic, while the Galaxy S20 FE<\/a> fully embraces plastic with a polycarbonate back. Both feature bi-directional wireless charging (a small portion of the Pixel 5’s backing is made of plastic underneath the bio-resin to allow for induction), and the S20 FE bears an aluminum frame for improved durability.<\/p>\n Both phones feel great in-hand, despite forgoing the standard glass back and curved screen.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n Neither phone has the most exciting design, but both phones have a flat display with thin bezels and a hole punch camera cutout. The Pixel 5 features a rear-mounted fingerprint sensor just below the camera housing, while the S20 FE relies instead on an in-display sensor. This all comes down to preference, but I far prefer the former, which pulls double duty as a gesture pad that allows you to instantly call down your notification shade.<\/p>\n <\/div>\n I really enjoy both phones’ in-hand feel, but one of the biggest physical differences between the two is their respective sizes. The Pixel 5 is a much<\/em> smaller device, which could be a good or bad thing depending on your preferences.<\/p>\n Internally, the S20 FE’s Snapdragon 865 is more powerful than the mid-range Snapdragon 765G in the Pixel 5, though the Pixel edges ahead slightly with 8GB of RAM versus the S20 FE’s 6. Both come with 128GB of baseline storage, though Samsung eventually added a 256GB variant of the S20 FE, and either storage tier boasts microSD expandability. Of course, each phone also features 5G connectivity, though only the Pixel 5 supports millimeter wave on all variants \u2014 to use the S20 FE on mmWave, you’ll need to specifically purchase the Verizon-based Galaxy S20 FE UW.<\/p>\n![](\"https:\/\/www.androidcentral.com\/sites\/androidcentral.com\/files\/styles\/large\/public\/article_images\/2020\/09\/google-pixel-5-render.png\"){kind=tracking}
