The Pixel 5 is the odd one out in Google’s line-up: the 2020 flagship that Google built as a mid-range phone instead of a spec monster. It was the first Pixel with 5G and the last with a rear fingerprint sensor, and it still has a small, loyal following. In 2026 nobody buys it new. It is a used or imported buy, and the price on this page reflects what Pakistani retailers list today (Rs. 45,000), not a launch price.
Design and Display
The Pixel 5 is small and light by today’s standards: 151 grams, 144.7 x 70.4 x 8 mm, with a 6.0-inch OLED screen running at 90Hz. The 1080 x 2340 panel is sharp at around 432 ppi, and Gorilla Glass 6 covers the front. It is rated IP68, good for 1.5 metres of water for 30 minutes. The aluminium frame with a glass back feels solid in the hand, and the hole-punch selfie camera keeps the screen clean. The rear fingerprint sensor is worth a mention: in daily use it still works better than the under-display sensor on the Pixel 6.
Performance
The Snapdragon 765G is a mid-range chip, and that was true even when the phone was new. Daily use is fine — calls, messages, browsing, social apps and light games all run well with 8GB of RAM. Heavy games and long video edits are where it shows its age. In 2026 it is not fast by today’s standards, so buyers who want a gaming phone should look elsewhere.
Camera
- Main: 12.2MP with an f/1.7 lens, dual pixel autofocus and OIS — Night Sight still takes good photos in 2026, and Google’s processing does the heavy lifting.
- Ultrawide: 16MP at 107 degrees for wide shots, group photos and tight rooms.
- Selfie: 8MP front camera — plain by today’s standards, fine for video calls and selfies in good light.
There is no telephoto lens, so buyers who zoom a lot should know that before paying. Video: 4K at 30 or 60 frames per second, with gyro-based stabilisation, plus 1080p slow motion at up to 240 frames per second.
Battery and Charging
The 4,080mAh battery is the weakest part of the spec sheet for a phone this size, and it gets worse on a used unit. Charging is 18W wired over USB Power Delivery 2.0, plus wireless charging and reverse charging — the Pixel 5 can top up a pair of earbuds from its back. A full day is possible with light use, but a used unit’s battery health is the real question: check it before paying.
Software
The Pixel 5 launched on Android 11 and was updated to Android 14. Google ended support in October 2023, and there have been no security patches since. That matters for banking apps and safety, so buyers who care about updates should look at a newer Pixel.
Price in Pakistan
The Expected price is Rs. 45,999. Two Pakistani retailers agree on the street price: mymobile.pk and zmobiles.pk both list Rs. 45,000, and the figure here rounds that up to the nearest ,999. The phone is now bought used or as an import, and PTA status is checked per unit. MobileDokan’s Bangladesh figure of ৳70,000 would convert to about Rs. 155,999, three and a half times today’s Pakistan retail, so it is not used here.
Buying in Pakistan
- Check the exact model number and IMEI on DIRBS before paying — PTA status varies per unit.
- Confirm whether the unit is PTA-approved or Non-PTA.
- Confirm the battery health percentage — a used Pixel 5’s battery is the part most likely to be worn.
- Buy from a seller who offers a checking warranty.
Final Verdict: Buy it for the camera and clean software at the lowest 5G Pixel price
At Rs. 45,999 it is the cheapest way into a 5G Pixel with Google’s camera and clean Android. The slow chip and ended support are real limits, so the phone suits a buyer who wants great photos and a small, light body more than raw speed. If updates or gaming matter more, spend the extra on a newer Pixel.
All storage options — Expected: Rs. 45,999 (mymobile.pk and zmobiles.pk both list Rs. 45,000)
