The thing about this phone is the Galaxy S20 5G is the same price, $700, but has so many more features. It has a top of the line Snapdragon 865 chipset. It has a much more up to date camera sensor, plus a zoom lense and an ultrawide lens. It also has stereo speakers. It has an sd card slot. It has a higher resolution screen, which is also AMOLED and with 120hz refresh rate. It's as good or better in every way. And Samsung is now promising three years of security updates, so the one thing that differentiated Pixel phones from all other phones is no longer true. On top of all that, the S20 has been out since March, so Google is not even as good as six month old phones.
I just don't get what Google is thinking. People are defending the $700 price tag as somehow what midrange phones cost now. But the S20 proves you can have an entirely flagship phone for the same price.
Either Google needs to at least have the flagship Snapdragon 865 chipset and an updated main camera module (not literally the same one from three years ago) or they need to undercut phones like the S20 on price. If this phone was $500 it would make sense. But charging flagship prices for a extremely midrange phone is nonsense.

Great device which comes in at around £599 in UK but it lacks the flagship SoC that would make make we buy which is a shame.... my only hope now is that the rumour of the 6.67inch 120HZ Pixel is true..... and maybe there’s a Pixel 5 Ultra which come out in February or March next year with the SD875

128gb storage with no expandable slot is a joke, especially for 2020. They're literally shooting themselves in the foot with this.

A 6 inch screen in a 144cm form factor and weighing around 150g with 4k battery capacity is irresistible for those who like a brick in hand doing a balancing act! Imo it should redefine what a "flagship" should be like rather than being a paper tiger and not a daily driver. IP68 with reverse charging are good enough to beat a so called "flagship" phone carrying a SD8 series chipset unless you are power hungry heavy game player.

Anonymous, 05 Oct 2020Really? 700 dollars? You could buy the Samsung Galaxy S20 F... morewhy I would buy Samsung S20 when you can buy pixel 5? pixel 5 is way better. you are not buying a batch of hardware, you are buying a phone. I have used Samsung and I can say the android experience for pixel is way better. $700 is quite cheap for me. PS I already pre-ordered.
