    Fantastic smartphone for the money... Definitely a worthwhile upgrade without sacrificing on the screen. Upgrading from a Pixel 4XL I just feel this Pixel 5 is more portable and easy to handle. Not having facial recognition is not as big a deal as I thought it would be. The fingerprint reader is fast, zippy and more discreet. Finally, the fact that it's waterproof and dust proof is one of my minimum requirements.... Check.

    Phone is for the most part pretty good. Feels good in the hand, and despite the large screen is pretty compact and fits well even in my small hands. Only real complaint is with the holepunch in the display. Supposedly in a future update, we'll be able to black out the background up top there which should help hide that, though.

    Great phone, I had a pixel2 and this 5 is much better. Import tool from my old phone worked pretty well but the 3rd party music and photos apps did not transfer over (arrrgh) (the tunes and pics DID transfer but not within the apps so any organizing etc one did is gone). Best Buy had 7 in stock when the Verizon store a block away had zero. I wish I had been able to use my Verizon device bucks at Best Buy!!!

    Accidentally dropped it in the toilet

    Just bought this and unfortunately dropped it in the toilet. The whole phone got dunked in and covered with toilet water for like 2 seconds. The phone is water resistant and not waterproof. However it's pretty good, once I took my phone out it told me that it disabled the USBc so it wouldn't be damaged by the liquid inside. Once the liquid was removed and dried up, the notification disappeared and USBc worked againthe. Great phone.

    Great smartphone, coming from a Pixel 3, the camera is still great, but with a larger screen and amazing battery life. The size is perfect, not too big and not too small, and the sorta sage color is very nice. The build quality is top and it feels great on the hand. After using it for a couple of weeks, performance has been good, don't even notice it doesn't have a top of the line processor. Overall an amazing smartphone.

    When the Pixel 5 arrived, I went through the usual process of onboarding the new device. If you've never experienced migrating from one Pixel to another, I can tell you there is no easier experience to be found. Connect the phones with the included cable and walk through the wizard. In the end, you'll have every app and account configuration on your new Pixel that you had on the old Pixel. It's seamless, painless, and effortless.
