Google - Pixel 5 5G 128GB - Just Black (Verizon)

Coming from a Pixel 3XL to a Pixel 5, I was excited. Temper your expectations, don't expect a flagship processor but know that you're getting a near perfect "it just works" phone. I don't play games, so the Snapdragon 765G didn't bother me too much. The phone symmetry is beautiful, uniform bezels, holepunch camera, form factor, and a nice textured back. The fingerprint sensor and the camera are the best in any device I have ever used. The camera sensor may be old but once you go Pixel, it's hard to use any other camera. The battery life is incredible and the standout feature of this phone. I got 8 hours of screen on time with a single charge, blew my mind. My 3 XL got like 4-5 hours max. The only negative is the speaker. There are two down firing speakers that sound fine, but another behind the glass screen and it sounds terrible. Overall, for users with no gaming requirements, it's a high recommendation. Stock Android for life. Google, pls get a better processor for the next Pixel though.

Coming from a Pixel 1 XL, this has much smoother performance. I don't mind the 765 processor/chipset, the 8 GB of RAM keeps apps loaded for fast task switching. At 6" it is a bit smaller, but refreshing to be able to reach across the screen with a thumb, one handed. I did go to the store and handle the phone first, to make sure it wouldn't be too small. I get fast WiFi and mobile data speeds, it has not over heated, and that 1/10 mm gap in the top left corner is nothing, especially once it's in a case. I also considered a couple of other phones, but long term security/software updates was the final deciding factor. So far, so good. I hope to have it as long or longer than I had the Pixel XL.

I've been using my Pixel 2XL since launch, but now updates are no longer being supported. I am very pleased so far in the upgrades that Google has implemented. I have also being holding on without updating, because they removed the fingerprint scanner. Fortunately with the 5, it's back! So far, highly recommend!

Real happy I picked up this phone. There are people who talk about a gap between the screen and case, but mine does not have that. Some mention the haptic feedback is weak, but I don't feel it is weak at all. It feels light, works pretty snappy, and does not overheat like my Pixel 3 did when streaming a football game. Camera of course takes great photos in a variety of situations. Hooks up to my infotainment system in Honda Ridgeline with no problems. The calls do sound a bit different. Can't explain it, and I can still hear conversations fine, but there is something that is a bit different.

After owning numerous versions of the Pixel line, I think Google finally got it right. The price makes sense considering the upper mid range processor which easily handles the way I use my phone; web browsing, YouTube and YTTV. Coming from the Pixel 4 I still consider this an upgrade. Battery life is amazing with about 6 hours of SOT compared to barely 3 hours with my Pixel 4 on a good day. I think Google better understands where they need to be; not top shelf flagship specs but an excellent device for the majority of people.

Absolutely love this phone. I previously been using the Samsung phones and finally I have an Android system without all the Samsung add-ons, like bixby and Samsung pay. The Pixel phone is perfect if you love Google products.

Best android phone for 2020. This phone is fast, has a lot of storage (128gb) and has a comparable camera to the iphone 12. The battery life is phenomenal! You can use this for hours and not drain much battery. The charger is usb-c, so if like me you will need to upgrade all of your chargers. Other than that well worth the purchase!

This phone is a great, lower-priced, smaller option to the larger, more expensive flagship phones. It does everything you could really need it to do. The camera is great. Holds battery charge fairly well, and it is pretty fast. All in all, a really nice phone.
