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

I have had the phone a month now. It is working great! Takes awesome pictures and videos! There are so many features that this phone offer's, best one is the security features! This phone is worth every penny!

I love this phone! A minor complaint is screen size (I have to wear glasses to see the default screen font), but a great Android experience. Killer pics from the camera, some cool new features in Android 11 ( like ability to copy text verification codes from some apps). Decent battery life, though seems to take a while to charge. A nice upgrade from my 3 year old Moto Z2 Force phone. I highly recommend. Att he’d pics with phone in protective case.

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.

To me, there is a singular reason for buying a Pixel phone: Software. The software experience on a Pixel device is simply unparalleled. Simple but thoughtful additions enhance the user experience. One of these features, call screening, is absolutely amazing. It's one of the most powerful tools in battling spam calls. The Pixel line has had a somewhat troubled history, but I think Google has made a wise decision in chasing value as opposed to industry-leading specs. While the Pixel 5 doesn't pack the latest processor, its performance is unquestionably more than capable for most users. The simplicity of the software combined with the 90 Hz display makes the Pixel 5 feel fluid and fast in everyday use. Additionally, Google seems to have finally taken battery life seriously. After the dismal battery life of the Pixel 4 lines, Google has sported the Pixel 5 with a much larger battery that, combined with the mid-range processor, makes this phone leave any battery life concerns in the past. While I liked face unlock with the Pixel 4, I find the fingerprint sensor on the Pixel 5 to be fast and accurate and, if I am going to use a fingerprint sensor, I much prefer it to be located on the back of the device rather than embedded in the screen (I actually miss LG's old approach of integrating the fingerprint sensor with the power button on the back of the phone). Not surprisingly, the camera is still impressive although, admittedly, the camera is one of the lowest priorities on a smartphone for me; But, if a good camera is a priority for you, you'll find it on the Pixel 5. The phone's design is a bit uninspired and utilitarian but, slap one of Google's nice fabric cases on it and the phone gets some personality. The screen is excellent - minimal bezels with a small hole punch camera on the left. Sound on the Pixel 5 is a bit underwhelming, and this is likely due to there being no true top speaker (google uses the screen itself as a speaker, much like LG did with the LG G8). Call clarity is perfectly fine, but music can sound a bit muffled - this is not a big deal for me because I used wireless headphones 99% of the time I listen to music. If you are looking for the latest hardware and top of the line specs, the Pixel 5 is not for you; but, if you are looking for an unparalleled software experience wrapped in a manageable form factor, the Pixel 5 is definitely worth a look.

I had a Pixel 3XL that just up and died. So I had to get another phone. The only complaint is the size of the screen. It's much smaller than what I had but that's not the phone's fault so I still give this a 5 star. But the power is double. The RAM and ROM are double. So this is a much faster phone. I am glad I got it and the 5G is much better than 4G LTE. I would recommend this phone since it's native Google and not bloated with overlays like other Android phones get.

My very first smartphone was the Pixel 2XL and I rocked that device until the Google Pixel 5 came out. I was excited about this device because I think it has a very modern look and it had checked off all of the things I was looking for in my next phone so I decided to go for it and got the black version. I can say it's not crazy inventive, but I appreciate it's clean look and the stock android experience that comes with it. I am very happy to have it.

Upgraded from a Google Pixel 2 XL. While noticeably smaller, it's not too small, and runs and cleanly. Transferring data and apps was a breeze. Great charge hold. Just the simple upgrade I wanted. Only thing I dislike was the new UI functions, but they allowed the option to change it back to the original ones which I highly preferred

This phone handles the rigors of data collection in post-fire operations, it can get wet with no problems which actually happens a lot, it can be dropped, which also happens a lot, it can get dirty, covered in ash, and it goes everywhere I do with barely a mark to show for it. I get better reception with this phone, sometimes I even find a few bars of 5G while working in the burn scar!
