HaRd2BeAr, 04 Oct 2020Feel better?Feel better what? Pixel is an overpriced Google branded device that doesn't stand out in any way. Other than being underpowered for the price and isn't even anything special on software side either. And just looks ugly. At 699 you may just as well go with an iPhone and you'll get a superior device all around. Or a selection of other Android phones that will have just the same crap 2-3 years software support, but at least you'll get way better specs for the money.

This year's pixel 5 neither has best processor nor premium looks, something that the last generation phone had in abundance. It has 5G but that's going to be in every phone from now on, nothing of a standout feature it is. Google did realise that most people prefer camera than other features as HRR or largest battery, but they missed on the pricing. Obviously if it's going to be priced like a flagship people gonna expect it perform, look and have the features of one. Google bundles some freebies but frankly, no one asked for it as most people got several of these earphones or TWS things lying around so instead they could've just lowered the price

I would have bought the Pixel 5 for the aluminium back but then I read that it as actually covered in plastic...We can’t have a proper metal phone because of that stupid wireless charging. I will be sticking to my old phone until I can get a proper metal flagship.
Btw, gsmarena team , you could create a poll to see if users would quit having wireless charging and front cam and instead have a metal back and a full screen without stupid holes and cuts.

Can anyone tell me, do Google still gimp the Pixels, in terms of casting? Do you have to buy a Chromecast? I know the Pixel 2xl won't cast unless it is to a Chromecast, pretty awful. As is the wireless charging limitations, or had to be a Pixel stand.

I dont understand these polls of this site. Only choices are one sided. Best, better , most better and dropped the ball best of all the way. No option for it's nothing special or something like that.
Basically it's a pol of the type of only positive choices so whats the point of this type of polls ?

For the sake of 5G they used chipset that's actually a downgrade from last phone. Imagine Apple sticking A12 chipset in iPhone 2020 coz some arbitrary reasons. And my god Pixel phones look ugly. Even looking at my old iPhone XR and it just looks nice from all angles, even with the notch visible! Pixel phones just look like a bloated cookie covered in sugar glazing. Yuck. And what I further don't understand is how software, Google's selling point isn't even a selling point at all. 3 years of updates is pathetic and you'd expect at least 5 and they just don't offer anything that really stands out and makes you explicitly want a Pixel phone. Which is just weird when we're talking about a device from a company that primarily does everything software.

High probability that Neither 5 or 4a 5G will be released in India.
So 4a is the most appropriate choice for Indians wanting to experience pure Android OS phone.
And reality is that fan club for Pixels is not huge in India.
However, personally in my opinion Pixel5 is a great compact phone with appropriate SoC. Though top of the line SoC would have been a best choice.

Why Pixel 5 is much more popular than 4a 5G? Are the extras really worth $200 more? I would go for the 4a 5G unless I'm missing something.

TBH the Pixel 5 should have a non-Snapdragon flagship chip (say a Mediatek Dimensity 1000) instead of a Snapdragon 765G
But still, it's not a bad phone, just bad value for the things you get.
