As owner of all generations of Pixel phones, I enjoyed your simple review very much, I get so much compliments photos coming out of my pixel phones. Your photos are beautiful on my 4K laptop.

The biggest win for me is the massively improved battery life compared to the P3. It's an all day phone not a 50 photos and it's running out of juice phone.

Pixel 5 isn't meant to be a long term phone. That Snapdragon 765 will get outdated soon.

IMO it's the manufacturer ROMS that are bloated and not smooth. Both of the Pixel phones I have owned are the best software experience I've ever had. Manufacturers should find a way to maintain feature parity for people who want to use their phone more scaled back in addition to their supposed "value added" features.

It's disappointing that such a small phone takes so long to charge.

In the S21 review you guys said the plastic back is a con, now the Pixel 5 got praised for the "durable plastic back". Come on guys!

Pixel phones have no features like Samsung had.
It's emty, like buying a BMW car with basic specs than bmw with fully loaded features specs.
I tried majority off them, hated it. It was like they offered you nothing but plain Custard with no cake .
TrassshRubbbish phone.

Belongs in the dustbin. Snapdragon 7 series chip.
Pixel phones are dying. They stopped using snapdragon 8series soc, and no one buys them.

I go to various enthusiasts forums where people posts pictures of their bellowed items and compare the photos on this pixel 5 vs pixel 2 and had to return pixel 5 based on my findings.

Been using the Pixel 5 for couple of months, and I whole heartedly agree on everything in this long-term review.
One correction, though: The Pixel 5 has 8GB RAM, not 6GB RAM as mentioned in this article.
I am mostly concerned about the durability of the body since the coarse material can rub off at the corners and become "smoother" and would look really ugly. This more aggravated by the fact that it is very very very hard to change the back (I really wished it could have been something relatively easy to swap out). so... in practice... having this back does not really add any more security than a glass-back since using a case is a must! very sad about that.
I miss the days when Nokia had exchangeable covers. After a couple of drops, a new cover and the phone is back to new.... (they even had that on their all touch-screen phones like the WP Lumia)

The Pixel 5 wasn't made from PIECES of Aluminium reinforced by bio-resin. It was made from a single piece of aluminium coated in bio-resin to hide everything and give it a seamless look. The way you have the article laid out makes it seem like its just random pieces of aluminium held together by plastic.
