LKMA Post – Above the Fold

One of the most interesting things about the Pixel 5 is its price. In a world where top-of-the-line phones from most other companies cost upwards of $1,000, the Pixel 5 is refreshingly affordable at just $629. It’s worth noting that there’s just one storage configuration being offered, with the Pixel 5 coming with 128GB of space for your apps, games, and movies.

When you compare this side-by-side with 2019’s Pixel 4 series, it’s pretty impressive how much more affordable the Pixel 5 actually is. The 128GB Pixel 4 retailed for $899, with the 128GB Pixel 4 XL costing $999.

There are some spec changes/cuts that allowed Google to hit that lower price tag, but especially in the economic climate we live in today, we’re more than happy to see Google focusing on affordability for its top offering.

When can I pre-order the Google Pixel 5?

if you want to be among the first to own a Google Pixel 5, you can go and pre-order the phone right now. It’s available in Just Black and Subtle Sage colors, and with Google choosing to not offer a white model at all this year.

Pre-orders are currently showing shipping dates of late October, so that’s likely when regular sales will begin.
