Pixel 5 fan, 18 Dec 2022Android 13 is great. No issues. Google pixel 5 is a very good phone, but the problem is the price is still not compatible with the economy, if you can help us reduce the cost, it will be very nice, good phone, low price 😍

                  I had the pixel 4 and absolutely loved it and then lost it and was gonna get the 4 but I thought it was just a little outdated and I kind of like the specs on the five so I hopefully it works good. I should be getting the five in a week or two I'm going to get the Spigen liquid armor case that's my go-to case. I'm also hoping they still have that new feature called now playing because I like to figure out songs I don't know the names of

                      I’ve had the pixel 5 for 15 months now. It froze up, then started doing a boot loop. Tried getting google support but it was conveniently passed the one year mark. All they did was recommend a place to take it in for diagnostics. Had to go out of town because there isn’t one where I live. They had my phone for 6 hours and couldn’t find anything wrong with it. They just suggested I buy a motherboard or get a new phone. Two weeks went by and my pixel 5 wasn’t rebooting as often. Well, 2 days ago, it just freezes and shuts off. Doesn’t reboot. Doesn’t turn on. Completely dead. So now, I’m commenting on here using my kid’s phone because google decided to sell a $700 paperweight and I fell for it!

But remember, it is roughly 845 level. If you don't play any heavy games and just watch youtube and instagram just like I do, it will be fine.

It's just that weak speakers and 'slow charging' that got me. I'm better off just getting the Xiaomi Mi 11 Lite 5G/ Redmi Note 10 Pro, OnePlus Nord 2/7T, even S20 FE which believe it or not cost around the same as Pixel 5 yet offer more features, making them more appealing deals. But... SOFTWARE experience on Pixel is topnotch... this is what makes the decision of leaving Pixel so hard. Even the Motorola Edge 20 Fusion and Vivo V21 have stock android-ish, and they have 90Hz Oled with fast chipsets and fast charging, but they don't have stereo speakers. But, I guess there's always a problem with something.

                                        As a new Pixel 5 owner, I must say the Pixel has grown on me. Although I got it for a steal at under $300 used in great condition. I was always intrigued by Pixel but the lack of adequate storge always had me stick with Samsung. So I've tried it and there are some downfalls like the speakers could've been better and the hardware locked wireless fast charging features. I actually love the phone. I had actually tried to sell but all the benefits of the phone and Google ecosystem kept me from going through with the sale. So Google you've made me a fan and follower. Signed a former Samsung guy...well almost.
