Q: Will the unlocked version work in the Verizon network?

A: Yes, I'd go for unlocked as the bootloader is also unlocked and no Verizon bloatware is preinstalled. Also resell value should be better for the same reasons. The Verizon version is basically the same phone, just bloatware added and the bootloader gets locked permanently-ish unless they've changed their stance and decided to let the Verizon ones unlock their bootloader, but I doubt it.

Q: Why is Best Buy advertising this phone as starting with Android 10 when Google is advertising it starting with Android 11 and Pixel devices from pixel 3 XL and the Pixel 4a already have Android 11?

A: Because Best Buy's advertisements on products are often wrong

Q: would this phone work with a tmobile plan if it is unlocked?

A: Hi fico, The US unlocked Pixel 5 works on all major carrier networks. Contact your carrier for details and see g.co/pixel/networkinfo for more information.

Excellent Flagship Phone for the Price
For a $599 phone, it is amazing. I stepped up from a Pixel 2 XL and this has much better battery, I have gotten 3 days of my "very light" use, 2 days from my "normal" use, and a full day out of my "heavy" use. The Pixel 5 also has a much smoother screen (90hz refresh rate) that you can tell the difference when scrolling through stuff. The phone overall is smaller that my Pixel 2 XL which took a few days to get use to, especially when typing on the virtual keyboard but since I use swiftkey's keyboard, I was able to enlarge the keyboard slightly from what I typically have it set at, and now all is good. Keep in mind, even though the overall phone size is smaller, the screen size was almost identical to my last phone due to the very small bezel, just a different aspect ratio, no longer 16x9 but now more narrow. I am not the biggest fan of the punchhole front camera, but it has stayed out of the way thanks to the oversized status bar at the top. Which, by the way, is a waste of space, the status bar is twice as tall as it use to be which is to cover the area of the front camera. I wish they could have moved the camera up further allowing the status bar to be normal size. The back cameras are great, and using the wide angle lens for the first time in a narrow room, at first made the picture have a fish eyed look. But to my surprise, the phone adjusted the picture after taken and squared the room back up to look normal without distortion - very impressive (picture attached). Now they need to include all 3 cameras like most other flagship phones have. While I don't play games on my phone, everything else is super fast and you would never know it doesn't have the highest end processer. 5G was not that impressive, but that is due to Verizon not the phone. Maybe one day we'll see faster speeds. Love having wireless charging again (my Samsung Galaxy S6 had it, and boy did I miss it on my Pixel 2 XL), I use wireless charging to save the USB C port from being overly used which will provide a longer life span without charging issues. Be sure to get a 14 or 15 watt wireless charger so you can take advantage to the faster wireless charging speeds. My biggest gripe is the transfer process to a new phone, Google needs to step up their game and when doing a full transfer of the apps, should sign all apps into your accounts. Very few apps auto signed in, and I had to manually sign-in, get 2-step verification codes, reset passwords, and even locked myself out of a few accounts. That process takes too long, and is a pain. Lastly, I love the sage green color, I have a clear case and have had compliments on the color which at times looks turquoise.

Love at first sight
I can't believe I finally went with a Google Pixel... First time I heard from then was from a friend in Brazil back in 2016. He is a tech guy and said how much he wanted the Pixel 3 (top at the moment). Last year I was drawn to the Pixel 4 due to its Astronomical camera (I'm an astronomer), however money was short and my iphone X still worked fine. My old phone screen suddenly stopped working when I was watching a video, so I decided to buy the new Pixel 5 as a Christmas treat for myself, I paid cash for an opened box which was $615, but I could tell the phone hasn't been used, someone bought it, put the SIM in it and for some reason they returned the phone, lucky me there was only one LOL. It was love at first sight. The phone transfered all the data from my iphone (didn't know I could cross data like this on different soperatiinal systems). Af first it was kinda slow because it was installing so many apps, but as soon as it finished OMG you have no idea how high this phone can fly. The camera is just unbelievably AWESOME, I use night sight even at day time since in my opinion makes the photos so much better. The screen is so vivid, beautiful and smooth. Honestly, I am never going back to apple. Google Pixel is the way!

CREATIVE NIGHT SHOTS
I recently took my Pixel 3 on a trip to visit family and at the gas...it fell out of my lap, the screen cracked fully in the middle and the corners were busted. I took it to a repair shop and got quoted $290.00 for both screen and USB port replacement. I am good...at that cost it was a no brainier. Look up and realize that there was a Best Buy store across the street. Walked in and walked out with a new Pixel 5 in my hand. The Pixel 5 solved a lot of the issues that was plaguing the Pixel 3 and dealt with the battery issue that Google purposely did with the Pixel 4. There is just something about a Pixel phone that is hard to describe that my parents describe the way they use their iPhone. The thing is the phone works and it works well! I wasn't expecting the phone to keep up with my Pixel 3 in terms of performance but difference between having 8gbs and 3gbs of memory sureade the difference. Now instead of lagging right away when I have at least 5 or 7 apps open. That issue is no more. I've been using up to 10+ apps without knowing only to realize it when I'm closing them. My biggest purchase for the Pixel 5 is for my every day phone and of course the pictures. Everyone including myself knows that the pictures that comes out of the Pixel is usually a sure hit regardless of the model. The Pixel 5 ensured this by me testing several shots while on a camping trip and wow. The pictures are overall very pleasant and lovely. Initially I was a bit worried for action shots because with all of the update that my Pixel 3 was getting, the camera app definitely lagged quite a bit. It was usable but I wanted with certainty that this was a no issue. The Pixel 5 turned out to be more amazing than I had imagine. I really advised people to learn some of the tricks that allows the phone to take such photos. The biggest surprised and benefits of the Pixel is when you have it setup to a tripod...make sure you have 3 second delay and have it in night mode. If you're trying to do a star shot or light painting it's always usually the same. The light painting requires you to have someone in the background with a light stick painting the person you're trying to get a photo off. Keep an eye on the Pixel screen. The results usually shows within 10 seconds. The moment you see the result, press stop. Repeat this process till you get a good trip on how to get better with your subject and the phones ability. This also works with astrophotography and human subject. I usually do it within the first 10-15 seconds or let the phone run its 3+ minute course and have the subject enter the photo the last 20-30 second. This gives the phone plenty of time to clean the image and grab as many star as possible. For the individual...make sure you slowly shine a light left to right to keep the person in the image and have that subject light up and be present in the photo. All else wise, the Pixel is a fantastic everyday phone and the battery life is such a no brainier for anyone. It's no flag ship as far as specs are compared but specs alone does not speak for a phones worth. It's fluid and smooth, my every day use has not been any issue at all! Love my phone and hopefully Pixel 6 will come out with a killer camera spec and more storage! Come on Google!
