Battery life is appalling after less than a year. I've never had such a quickly aging battery - and it's difficult to replace without.breaking the screen. Google sucks at phone design

Well my first pixel was the 3XL I loved it and then I am a Samsung guy I do have the note 20 ultra 5G but instead of getting another Samsung I wanted the new pixel so I want and it took me forever to find a pixel 5 a lot of people don't know this but they only made a certain amount of them because of covid and they were short on chips and other components so the first time I came to the store they didn't even have it they had to order one in for me I got the all black and I can tell you right now great phone even saves lives what phone do you know has automatic crash detection I didn't even know the phone had that it is simple yet customizable unlike the iPhone I don't know what they're talking about because I've tooken photos with my note 20 ultra 5G and I tooken photos with my pixel and sometimes I choose the pixel photos now if you're talking about zoom and distance then obviously the note 20 ultra but for portraits and videos super crisp super clean and storage is most important lots and my whole house is Google automated so it only makes sense to have a Google phone

Three and a half months is nothing. What's it like on three years?
My Pixel 2 would be great if not for the whole phone turning off because I dared be outside for more than ten minutes or to use my camera below 54% battery.
Even now it's priced at $800 CDN and I have a hard time justifying something I expect to be useless in two years. This is a problem of course with all smart phones, so there's really no alternative on that front.
The 4a would be my go to at $120 less, if not for the lack of six cents of formed aluminum, which drastically improves durability.

The pixel 5 would be great if it actually worked! I don't mind the construction, the camera and some of the other complaints. It seems to be an underpowered device that is no better then the Pixels 1XL that I replaced. The battery is great, and lasts almost 2 days with regular use and the memory is great to have. But apps crash regularly, I cant use the camera in WhatsApp or SMS or Messenger, it crashes. I actually have to take a photo with the camera and then post it to these apps. OneNote crashes regularly. The internal sensors for landscape or portrait viewing take too long to react, it seems the device is either way underpowered or is flakey. Very disappointed.

James, 23 Feb 2021You can get a galaxy s20fe for the same price as this too a... moreColour isn't the be all end all. Maybe you should stop poking your brains out, you're being subjective. Poor you can't apply a skin or a case you'd prefer, if you had the sense to protect it 😬

Why is everyone just roasting the Pixel 5 in the comments...
Come on guys, it's one of the best mid-tier android smartphones out there. Who needs the latest camera sensor? Who needs the newest top tier processor and gpu? Yes, there are better alternatives that offer a S865 for the price of a Big Mac, but this is still the most pure phone offered with Android.

The GPU performance is worse than the Google pixel 3 Snapdragon 845 nevermind last year's or this year's. It kind of makes sense considering it's the adreno 620 whereas the Pixel 3 uses the adreno 630. I think google needs to replace it's HTC staff before it goes the same way as HTC did. Power users will not like the pixel 5 one bit. At least with apples cheaper phones they all have great chipsets

You can get a galaxy s20fe for the same price as this too along with a flagship processor. Reviewer says it looks fun and playful ..I've picked prettier looking bogies than this ..the colour is gross

Funny how I get better battery life on my Oneplus 8 with 6.5 inch screen and flagship grade chipset , ok the battery is a little bigger but so is the screen. Just shows Google for all their software know-how still can't do battery life. I used to be a Nexus user until Google went premium with the pixel and we had to put up with bad battery performance then. So now non pixel phones perform better than googles own phone on android. This is no upgrade to the pixel 4 in performance terms it's actually a downgrade and quite a big one if you like gaming..maybe a little better in camera performance but that's it.
