So breakable. Dropped this phone sitting down onto carpet and it's FRIED. Worked okay for the 3 months I had it. Nothing special.

        This phone supports USB C OTG pen drives right?
        Also can this handle more than 2 SIMs? 1 nano SIM and more than 1 eSIMs?

          I don't understand why this Pixel released in late 2021 is still inferior to my S10e. Is that the effect of chip shortage ?

            One of the best if not the best Pixel phones released yet. Battery is amazing and stands for 8 hours or so of SOT, performance is blazing fast even on gaming with minimal heat. Camera is wonderful experience and the phone size is just great. This phone can be your best choice among all other pixels due to affordable price and the great overall experience it offers.
            Highly recommend!

                I had an original pixel and loved it. Unfortunately it lost it's ability to rotate the screen and a replacement battery started losing is capacity after 6 months. I bought the 5A because of the excellent reviews online, I liked my original pixel and because I expected that the transition would be fairly seamless.
                Sadly, I cannot recommend the Pixel 5A and I would not buy it again. I also encourage anyone considering it to look at review within the Google online tech support system itself. 100's of people have the same complaints. Be aware that Google is not providing any phone support which the message says to protect their tech support staff from COVID which seems very strange to me as so many tech support staff are working from home.
                One of the main complaints is the very limited ability to customize the home screen and other functions - which is why lots of pixel purchasers did not buy iphones. As a result, about 1/3 of the home screen is used for an unnecessary date 'bar' that cannot be removed. Same for a large bar at the bottom that deals with google functions that are easily found elsewhere. The only solution is to purchase an independent launcher. Be aware that almost nothing automatically was set up as my original pixel. I spent hours online learning about how to change the default settings. I like some new features (like adaptive battery) and the phone camera is excellent as always. I have had a serious problem with the phone dropping calls in the middle of a call - many people complained about this, too. My husband's iphone does not drop calls in the same locations and my previous google pixel did not either.
                I agree with other posters on this site that the controls on the side of the phone are intermittently super sensitive but also regularly almost completely non-responsive.
                I don't want to go on and one but it took me hours to get this phone to function close to how I want it to function - and which I liked about my previous phone.

                                Excellent phone for 5G T-Mobile carrier. Good camera and fast response. I like the feature of google that block spam calls and texts. Huge battery capacity that last two days, at least.

                                    I can see this complaint with some other brand of phone because they have the choice to use many other services, but obviously a Google branded device will be pushing Google service hard core.

                                      Anonymous, 27 Nov 2021Samsung S20 FE is better, slightly bigger, but costs a lot more. The S20 FE only slightly better. The slight increase in camera quality definitely doesn't justify the huge price difference.

                                        I'm a happy owner of this device and I think it's underestimated. Bought it for $399 on Google Store. Great camera, battery and software. I had a lot of phones to compare with.
