flagshipper, 09 Mar 2021wow... so small device with wireless charging and also some screen freq boost..easily rootable... morethe CPU is a lower-end one than the 800 family, but it most definitely is NOT "ultraslow". I know, I have the Pixel 5, and the CPU (and RAM) are quite speedy. More than I thought.

wow... so small device with wireless charging and also some screen freq boost..easily rootable, quite decent battery, super LIGHT? sounds great! but then it goes downhill: ultraslow cpu taking you many flagship iterations back, no sd card, older usb, older ufs, fingerprint in the worst location possible, no jack, no notif light, slow charging, no wifi 6, no dual sim............ and this goes for a sky high price:/ this should cost

Google also needs to bring back HDR+ enhanced. Night Sight takes up to approximately 6.5 seconds (without counting the processing time) (proof: see Engadget's Pixel 5 youtube review at 11:45 , I have measured the duration), by the way, that's also the case with the Pixel 3a.
HDR+ enhanced is a fast Night Sight mode and only takes up to 2.5 seconds, if you don't zoom. Instead of an exposure time of 1/2-1s per frame, it chooses 1/5s per frame, so you get nearly always sharp photos with HDR+ enhanced whereas Night Sight often leads to slightly blurry = worse photos or you need to take the photo again, then it's basically 13s vs 2.5s (actually even more than 2x6.5s=13s because you have to check whether the image is blurry). So Google really needs to bring back HDR+ enhanced, which can nearly always produce as bright photos as Night Sight, if you use exposure compensation. Apple's night mode only takes 1-3s.

I hope that when the Pixel 6 is released, Google finally stops to spread lies. When the Pixel 3 was released, they said that their super resolution zoom was comparable with 2x optical zoom. It was a lie. In perfect light conditions without shadows it's even not as good as 1.1x optical zoom because there is basically no advantage at all (I have a Pixel 3a).
When the Pixel 4 was released, they said that their zoom was comparable with 3x optical zoom. Again a lie. One can even show (mathematically and based on tests with Bayer cameras) that due to diffraction, that's physically impossible, if "optical zoom" is meant to be a sharp optical zoom.

Help I have been going crazy the last few days youtubing googling night and day. I currently have the huawei p20 pro which in good lighting takes very good pics. Now I love the pics im seeing from the pixel 5: the depth and contrast of colours.(I did notice the selfie is a abit of a let down compared to its rear camera. However from looking at video's of pixel look 50/50 some look grainy/and loss of quality. I do take pics more, but I still want the option to take good videos too. Now i did narrow my choice to pixel 5 vs iphone 12pro. i prefer pics taken by pixel but videos am i going to regret having poor quality videos?? or can the pixel match the iphone. Im tired of youtubing there's so many reviews that are blantenly biased. Now to confuse things furthermore i don't mind considering the oppo x2find pro.
I'm after a wow camera if there is a thing i mainly take pics of the kids and my cat (if that helps)-with google play services. Out of the three I have mentioned has anyone outthere tested all 3?
It don't help during lockdown that I cant go out and test a handet.
Any suggestions will be appreciated!

Expandable storage? No Pixel had ever had it. Honestly microSD cards are slow and prone to failure. Last time I used one was with my S5 which had 16GB storage.
And you want a bigger battery? Pixel 5 had the biggest battery of any pixel and as a heavy user I'm happy with the battery life / size weight of the device.
Some people just want miracles and no matter what they put in a phone, someone will always want more and for a lower price. If anything I would say they got the features right, would be nice if they spent a bit more on build quality and refinement.

Given the $700 price tag of the flagship google pixel 5
It's disappointing that it lacks a headphone jack and
A micro SD slot to increase storage and also it's
4080mAH battery should have been at least 5500 mAH
Given it's $700 price tag.

I was really scared about this cause people write all sorts of things online but in reality it just works and I didn't feel annoyed or felt the quality of my calls was suffering whatsoever. It's different, yes, but it certainly isn't the worst thing that happened on planet earth as people tend to write. People exaggerate and create drama for no reason.

Is this a step forward or backwards? But I do like the new design. And with the 765g the 🔋 power has vastly improved. In a world of HUGE phones the 6.0in is a bit refreshing, compact & lightweight. The only downside is that under display 🔊. Block the bottom one and the other sounds tinny, muffled & hollow? The price 699.00 USD plus tax, too much? Should have been 550.00 to 600.00 MAX!

ppczouz, 12 Nov 2020We are seeing the beginning of a trend change.
Just like desktops did, phones will start to d... moreGoogle and apple don't compete because google hand in hand has the most reliable workers working on the system daily to make ìt better wile apple sets back and collects our data from 3 parties it's no wonder there systems are noncompairable. 5g that apple has is not the rough we are heading so in time google will still be the number one studied system out there because we started the change for motor compartment in the only way apple leaks our product's then slightly tweaks it and bam Microsoft and google team up with UI for the run of the sentry for technology like never before leaving apple to rot in there own bug crumbs.
Visions are too be shown. I give u my word on that so mark it down in you're cloud data (dillion key )

Anonymous, 09 Nov 2020Bro, you use your phone to browse porn and Tiktok, why do you act like you need anything flags... moreWe are seeing the beginning of a trend change.
Just like desktops did, phones will start to diverge in processing power as per user needs.
We started seeing the "G" branded processors, and soon that would extend to things beyond a boost in GPU clock speed:
Think of having an Intel i7 with a integrated graphics and Intel i7 with a discrete RTX3080.
Both are flagship chipsets, but gaming on them (for those requiring it) is a night-and-day difference. System price is quite different as well.
Today, the SD765 is closer to an i5 with a 1050Ti, for example, and the SD865 is an i7 with RTX3080...
Can you really say that everyone needs an i7 with RTX3080? I don't think so
Can you not play pretty much every game out there on an i5 with GTC 1050i? of you course you could at various degrees of resolution/quality degradations.
Also, are there not premium laptops with i5s? sure thing
And thus, we are now heading into this trend, and I guess we will start seeing SD8x5 and SD8x5G processors as well as SD7x5 and SD 7x5G processors powering up phones, probably even the same phone model with just the processor/memory variations.
Apple so far is doing the opposite with keeping the same flagship chipset and downgrading the design on its various tiers, but that too I believe will soon change; but Apple will always be Apple, they will do whatever they feel like waking up in the morning and everybody will applaud and follow :D
