Google Pixel 5 - user opinions and reviews
- trollers be gone
- LfP
had it for a week or so now. my impression in bullet points:
- good size and the quality feels good.
- the CPU although being mid-range, is decent in performance. have no issue with usual apps. But, I am no gamer.
- battery life is just ok. definitely not amazing.
- camera is good compared with my previous xperia xz2 premium. But not amazing. i think two camera is enough and no tele is reasonable choice. But google should really have upgraded the hardware. come on it is still a £600 phone.
My suggestion:
- they should replace amoled with ips panel to save cost. it will be definitely more energy-efficient (I know some people will argue that but please do your proper research. AMOLED is really battery thirsty), and personally, I don't think AMOLED display is that much better than ips.
- with the money they save from panel, they should upgrade camera hardware. photo quality was one of the selling point of the pixel. with pixel 5 it is barely on par with competitors.

Pixel 5, 24 Oct 2020What about the screen issue (gab. Between screen and the chassis), does anyone notice it I've seen no Gap so far, must be sporadic models.

Your pricing will be the end of you Google. I van never buy a phone with 765G at those rediculus prices when there 865 chipset phones with the same exact price and even cheaper. GOOD LUCK you will need to compete with other vendors

As a previous owner of a Nexus 5, that was a great phone with 2 major flaws, the battery sucked and it took bad pictures. The best thing about the Nexus 5 was that it was the goldilocks size, not too small, not to big but just right. The Pixel 5 has good battery life and takes good pictures, where it errs is in size. The height of the device is too tall at 144.7 mm. What Google should do in 2021 is make the Pixel 6 with a height of 137.9 mm to match the old Nexus 5. To satisfy the people who like phablets also make a Pixel 6 XL version as well. Give them large batteries and good cameras and a lot of people that bought other Android phones will buy the Pixel 6 and Pixel 6 XL.

I like the fact that it is compact, but i do not like the cheap feal to it. Now it is more expensive then Nokia 8.3. That one is huge but offers better quallity and design at lesser price.

curious about this as i'm tired of heavy bricks currently being sold.
wow 4080mah to 151g, that's insane! perfect size, ultra light.
the only brand that can be converted to GrapheneOS.
i would like Face ID thou. back fingerprint and cuthole are reminiscence of bad things that happened to industry. Tired of this fingerprint relocation (why not on the side?) and trashy notches, punchholes. also Xperia 1 and 5 are too hard competition.

I personally like the direction google went with the Pixel 5. I've had the highest end chips (of their time) in my Pixel 3xl, ROG Phone 2, Galaxy S8+ and I switched to an Oppo with the 765G and have noticed almost non difference in my day to day. My software and camera experience on my old Pixel was the best I've ever had (and I have had iPhones and many brands of phones). I'm just waiting on GSMArena's battery test and speaker test. The rear mounted FP scanner is my fave implementation because I can always scan my finger before I even lift the phone into view.
