    I miss some of the features of my Pixel 3 but the phone reacts quickly and the camera is great. I absolutely love the 5g speeds as well.

    So far I love this phone. It has a phenomenal camera that uses the real color and doesn't really distort color negatively.

    Great phone in many ways. Light, feels great in the hand, and screen feels "soft" and premium. Apps run fast and smooth, even when I have messenger running at the same time as a game (genshin impact). Only issue is that edges of screen is sometimes not responsive (the hardware is fine, but sometimes software glitches and doesn't register taps at the edges). Can easily be fixed by tapping around though. Overall great phone.

    I needed a change from big name flagship such as Samsung. My last phone was a OnePlus 7 pro. This Google pixel 5 is great so far. I'm glad to have a flat screen again. The battery life is pretty good. The camera is awesome. I just love everything about this phone accept the fingerprint scanner on the back. It works better than my other phone, it's tough to get to when your phone is in a holder and you are driving. I'm very happy with my purchase.

    There are lots of reviews talking about the price point of Pixel 5, and yet the phone may not be the best perf per price. However, coming from Pixel 2 XL, this is a definitely nice upgrade. I didn't notice any reported problems like volume control or the gap between the case and glass. Active dual-SIM standby is another great thing -- but you will be downgraded to 4G LTE in this case. So if you like Pixel, its simplicity and no clutter android experience, just go for it.

    Great phone to have for 5G. I upgraded from the Pixel 2XL since it did not get any more security updates. It was either this of the Pixel 4a 5G. This feels much better in my hands (I have smaller hands) and feels natural to call, text, and hold. The volume was a bit concerning since I am hearing impaired, but the volume is fine and does the job. If you like Android, this is the phone to have. It's a premium phone for less than the premium phone price.

    Sleek/Small and well made. If you're looking for a good phone with a great camera that's not too big and fits perfectly in your hand, this is it. Android updates before everyone else is great. The photos that this phone takes are breathtaking. Even makes astrophotography easy! Just put your phone on a tripod and click. Great sound as well. I thought the phone speakers wont be loud but I was wrong. Pretty loud and clear.

    Battery life that is shorter than the 4a. A GPS that tracks you miles away from where you actually are. This comes after upgrading from the 4a that kept overheating any time it was uploading or downloading. Two strikes, no more. Back to Samsung. I did really like the size though but they were unreliable.

    Phone functionality is smooth. I originally felt that the reduction in size would be super noticeable, but after the first day I didn't even notice it anymore. Sleek look, great size, fast processing speed, speakers could be better but not enough to turn me off about the phone in general. Overall very happy with the purchase. Certain cases male it look short and fat, so just make sure you get a slim case with good protection.

    Partner needed a new phone and liked his previous Pixels so I bought this one. Menus and responsiveness are good. The photos have always been good on Pixels though it was disappointing that the same sensor is in here as the Pixel 3, and the processor is slower than the 4a. With these specs, a lower price would have been more palatable. Still, he's happy with it. T-Mobile doesn't officially support this phone yet, (they do support 4a with 5G) but it works fine.
