@@rzuuuuu That's bad luck - I had some teething issues with Android 14 on mine a few months ago (eg Google Wallet not working properly), but battery stayed about the same. I find it can be hard to separate the OS upgrade from physical battery degradation.... Meanwhile the Pixel 8 is nearly back to the right size (width anyway - no idea why screens went from 19:9 to 20:9).

I bought it second-hand 3 years ago, and I've been using it ever since. I can safely say it's still my favorite Android phone. By making small compromises across the board it became the perfect phone for me- I hope phone manufacturers will realise that the whole can be greater than the sum of its parts. Having more RAM and a faster SOC isn't necessary when the hardware is already good enough, and a convenient form factor can make a phone so much more enjoyable to use. The fingerprint sensor to open the notification shade is one of my favorite Android features and I use it very very often. It probably won't be long till 'good enough' phones will be cheap to manufacture for smaller companies! I can't wait :)

Hi Damien, Wow never did I expect such coverage of a phone which I think was overlooked due to it's mid-range specs, but here we are. I actually regret giving my Pixel 5 away now. It was certainly not the best phone I have ever had but it had some things going for it. I liked the fingerprint sensor, the size and that beautiful green colour. The sound on it was horrible and it is something I certainly don't miss. The biggest thing about that phone is that it was with me when I had Covid in late 2020 early 2021. Even though I couldn't use it that much it was a constant companion and so it was with me through a very tough time. I think the people who like me owned the phone liked it for what it was. I will miss you Google Pixel 5.

Nice review ! I'm eyeing at the lastest Pixels with enhanced software and harware, but their design is not as appealing to me as the Pixel 5 design, which I bought just before the 7 was on sale. I still prefer the camera placement in the corner, and it has perfect screen and form-factor. I'd buy a phone with the SAME DESIGN, but newer specs any day (powerful and efficient SoC, current optics, fingerprint reader on the side/under the screen, and a DEX mode). That would help me keep Google phones as daily drivers on the long run.

I have been using the black version for three years. It is flat, sleek, light, and modest but powerful enough and has the best size to be used in one hand although it has also a one-hand operation feature. I LOVE IT! I am not a photographer or social media publisher so I don't need millions of pixels camera phone. I am not a bag-carrier person so I need to carry my phone in my pocket. I am just a regular person who uses daily-driving apps like maps, camera, WhatsApp, KZbin, Instagram, and Twitter and this is the best phone for me. Having said that, you can take great photos, play any games, and do whatever you with a so-called fruit phone! Best features I like; it doesn't have a screen-fingerprint scanner so the screen is not so expensive it is symmetric and flat, so it doesn't have a chin it weighs only 151 gr The back fingerprint scanner has a scrolling feature Best camera phone that has free unlimited storage for Google Photos The only downside is that it is not going to get updated any more so I cannot choose my next phone.

I absolutely hate how big and bulky the Pixels have become. Recently bought and returned a Pixel 8, who wants that giant brick in their pocket? I think the problem is the market is now obsessed with gigantic batteries to maximize screen-on time, since people in their 20's stare at their phones 24/7. Those of us who just want a small, light, pocketable phone are left out to dry, there is literally nothing on the market for us.

That was the year that although there was no 5XL Pixel, there was a 4a with 5G -- and it was the sweet spot phone in the middle. The larger 4a had to be bigger in order to have a larger battery to accomodate the 5G band. While it also had the camera set up as the 5, it also had the headphone jack that the regular non-5G 4a retained. Not gonna lie, that was a pretty good year those Pixels came out.

Yes! Bring back small phones with pro specs and a physical fingerprint sensor. It can even be the power button. We miss the swipe function. And we don't want an in screen senor! ¯⁠\⁠_⁠(⁠ツ⁠)⁠_⁠/⁠¯ Great video! 💯🕶️💜

This is one of the last pixels with a snapdragon chip but it supports 5G in my country while tensor chips don't

i've had this one for almost 3 years and would still be using it, if i had not blasted the screen again. loved it. the best phone i've ever had. it offered literally everthing i wanted in terms of software, design, size ect and it came for a very attractive price.

Still going strong with the Pixel 5. The software experience is second to none, and the hardware is adequate for most situations and most people. I really hope Google makes another device with similar form factor, as the size and slimness of it is hard to come by today.

Still rocking this phone today. My unused P7 wishes for this battery life. Sorry but switching to Tensor was such a bad idea.

When Google moved away form the rear finger print access to the front it and face unlock do not work like the rear scanner. Always easy to access, where I have to look at the phone and try to get the scanner or face unlock to work. Go back to the rear scanner with work great.

I want to buy one but I'm not sure if the call quality is good because it is under the display. Currently, I own a pixel 3a xl. How is the call quality?

Best phone I’ve owned. Had for three years, only recently changed to the Nothing Phone 2 because security updates stopped on the Pixel 5.

I just changed from 5 to fold after almost 4 years and I tell you, I did it only because of wanting a foldable. Everything worked still on that phone just like the day I bought it (or better, thanks to updates). Now will probably replace the battery and give it to my father

I'm still using my 3+ year old Pixel 5 and though Ive had a new battery put in I dont think about upgrading to a newer phone. It runs plenty fast for what i need. Id had two Samsungs before this Pixel and at the two year point they were slow and I wanted a new phone. I see me keeping this phone for at least 2 more years provided that Google doesn't make some stupid update that makes me hate the phone before then.

still using it to this day. usable. but looking to upgrade mainly because they no longer will support it and the battery life is draining really quick. im a heavy user and im pretty sure the battery is just getting old. definitely still my favorite phone of all time. camera can shoot amazing pics. and the display and processor still is great for anybody looking for a good light user phone who occasionally takes pictures and videos. and light multitasking.

I'm still using my Pixel 4a 5g (Pixel 5's cheaper plastic sibling) as my only mobile. Considered upgrading, but it still just works, apart from the battery, so I just plug it in for a few minutes. Camera tech is still amazing!

I tried ordering 4 different used Pixel 5s, and all of them had shot batteries (despite advertised claims of above 85%). I gave up cause I didn't feel like the expense and hassle of a battery change and and lack of OS/security updates. Bummer because I do not like the current crop of > 6.1" phones heavier phones with big camera bumps.

I went from the Pixel 3 to the Pixel 6 Pro and I've been on the 6 Pro since. I got the Pro for the upgraded camera specs, but I wish I could go back to the form factor/size of the Pixel 3. When I replace the 6 Pro I don't think I'll be getting the Pro version again and just have to deal with the camera specs I get from the non-XL phone.
