Customer Ratings & Reviews

I've had this phone for exactly one month and have already had issues with this phone. The phone periodically doesn't recognize my fingerprint. The screen has frozen up on me numerous times and for some reason it shut down and got stuck on the reboot loop for about 45 minutes. It's past my 14 days to exchange but I wish I could exchange for something different. These are too many problems for it to be brand new and newly purchased.

Screen unlock is a little squirrelly. Has a fair amount of settings. The biggest advantage IMO with this phone is it's seemless integration with a Google eco-system. It's like a handheld remote for your google automation.

Good size. But price is expensive and uses sub-par 765G snapdragon chip instead of the 865 chip. I wouldn't buy this again nor recommend this phone.

Stay away from pixel, poor quality phone. The phone broke within 1 year. Hardware quality is pretty bad/

Wanted to love it, mostly did but the screen was just too small for me after getting use to larger phones. Make a larger model and I'm there. Stock Android is a joy

Great phone nice screen cheap quality display. Scratches really easy recommend a case as soon as you get it with a screen protector

It is a nice phone. I was just use to the Samsung keyboard for texting, so I had to return this phone and get a Samsung S21 5G.

I received the Google Pixel 5 5G at no cost for an honest review. My first impressions are good. The phone is very light to hold with smooth curves, but it is not slippery due to its lightly textured matte rear surface. The rear feels slightly plastic-y but not quite to the point where it feels cheap. I was able to easily transfer most of my apps and settings with a guided process using an included USB-C cable. Coming from a different android phone, transfer was painless and took 8 minutes (50gb). After that, all the apps automatically downloaded and the Pixel was looking familiar again. The fingerprint reader almost blends in with the back, and in my first few days of usage I kept accidentally touching the camera lens while searching for it. The screen on this phone is beautiful. Watching even 1080P UHD videos on it is mesmerizing. The colors are vivid and true to life. The only caveat is that the front camera lens will be on the corner when you decide to expand your video to fill the whole screen. Phone calls were normal, without anything to report. Night photos with minimal light were beautiful. In fact, in the Pixel 5, I’d say the best feature is the camera (you could probably write a big manual on camera settings alone). With 12mp and 16mp ultrawide, you can get some large shots in, even at close range. In particular, I found the ability to do wide photos and wide selfies without having to move the camera handy. One of my gripes is in fact the physical design of the camera on the phone itself. It sticks out of the phone, which means when you lay it on the counter with the screen side up, the camera lens will make contact with the surface (at least the bottom of it will). This is particularly annoying for those of us who don’t like to use cases. Placing the phone face down may not be a better solution either, but at least it’s completely flat on the screen side. This just means I’ll have to get a case. My other minor gripe is the sound quality. Not that I expect much from cellphone speakers, but considering this is Google’s only phone, I expected better. Music sounds nasal in general. By the way, no headphone jack, if you care to know. In terms of performance, the phone delivers and it is extremely responsive, even with 169 apps that I loaded on it. I like that it comes with 128 gigs, but I don’t like that it is not expandable. It has 5G and while I live in an area of California with AT&T 5G, I must say that there was no difference for me in terms of 4G and 5G speeds. I did not go in depth and only performed simple download/upload tests, so this may require more testing. I noticed that every once in a while, the Wi-Fi would drop within my house. I’ll have to test it out more, but it was only happening with this phone. Lastly, the battery did last me a few days with normal use, and, while I did not field test it, I can say that it is more efficient that anything I’ve used in the past, especially considering the small size of the phone. Overall, I would recommend it, keeping in mind that it’s plenty for most people. However, if you like premium features such as heartrate sensors or a more premium-feeling shell, I’d go a different route.

Disappointed in the phone especially coming from the pixel 4 xl the pixel 5 felt very much like a downgrade

Not what I was looking for. Smaller and hard to hold. Speaker in the wrong location and couldn't hear very well.

This mobile is looking fine. But i found sound issue and its looking little bit issue with Camera of this mobile.

Really disappointed. I have owned every Google phone back to the Nexus line. This one was my breaking point. The battery life is good and the fingerprint sensor is great for 2020. However the speakers are just awful. I cant hear people when they call, and I cant hear videos when they play. The build quality is so-so. This is the most basic of phones it's just forgettable.

Nice staff. Helped order my new phone. Couldn't use my Birthday 10% towards it, but needed a new phone.

Great except one thing. It doesn't get 5g on AT&T. So it was not a good purchase for me.

The only good thing about this phone is battery. Every other aspect is not worth the price at all. Laggy. Noisy front camera pictures. Rear camera pictures won't look real. They look like they are heavily enhanced by software. Display is not good.

It's an average phone. Nothing special. I was not amazed, Mayne for $450 I'd say it's worth it.

Not a fan, disappointed with the size. I had a pixel 3XL and it was way better. My mistake

Product took a tumble off the couch onto the hardwood floor and the screen shattered, with an OtterBox case on. The impact in one corner completely shattered the OLED screen. I can't really blame the case because the drop was maybe 1 or 2 feet. It shocked me that the screen was so fragile to minor impact. The screen is at least $300 for the part alone and upon research, an OLED screen is near impossible to replace yourself (I've done this before on other phones.) I decided to use that money to buy a refurbished version of my Galaxy Note instead. I appreciate the lack of bloat on the pixel but it never like a great experience overall. It felt and acted like a budget phone, which I guess it is for $500. Now it sits in a drawer in my office and I don't think I'll buy a Google phone again.

I am very dissatisfied with this phone. Since the beginning I'm been try to return the phone or exchange for other one buy Best Buy doesn't agree on it Phone over hit with use. Some time it turns off in the middle of a conversation

I love the phone. But 2 years after the galaxy s10e and it feels inferior.
