I have a Pixel 5a and it works great, at the end of day it usually ends with a 50-60% battery, So I'm thinking of giving it to my wife - who uses the phone more than I do - and picking up another refurbished pixel phone, i'm unsure what pixel phone to choose; pixel 6 for about 200$, pixel 5 or 5a for 150$ or a pixel 4 XL for 130$. I don't know how would an 3 years old refurbished pixel 5 or 4 XL would do in terms of battery life

                Pixel phones are made for countries that have already ditched 2G, especially North America, UK, Australia etc.
                Always use phones made for your particular country. You won't be disappointed at all 👍

                            Is it overall pixel 5 issue or mine unit is faulty?

                              They have found the perfect front design in Pixel 5 and they ditched for uglier Pixel 6 and Pixel 7 front design. Such a disappointment.

                                David 040882, 01 Dec 2022I compared the reviews from GSMArena of the Pixel 5 and 6a and as expected the 6a is better. T... moreCamera sensors is the same as the 6a. The only thing that's better for the 6a is the Tensor processor, but overall experience is nearly the same.
                                Keep in mind 6a's screen is 60hz compared to 90hz on the 5. Also, no wireless, reverse wireless for the 6a, whereas its all available in the 5.
                                Pixel 5 is a flagship level phone.

                                  How to enable 2G there is no option. Signals are weak in some areas and i need 2g for it.

                                    This phone proves that you can have wireless charging while having an aluminium back panel. I'd be more than happy to take aluminium back panel over glass back panel all day long.
