Pixel 5 - 5G Android Phone - Water Resistant - Unlocked Smartphone with Night Sight and Ultrawide Lens - Just Black

Great phone. Really enjoying my first week with it. PROS: All the pros are fairly well documented online so I won't dwell too much on them. Loving the 90hz refresh, the comfortable size, the small bezels, the 5G, the pure Android experience, the fast wireless charging, the super quick fingerprint scanner, and the excellent battery life. NON-ISSUES (FOR ME): I had a few concerns going in which turned out to be non-issues for me: 1) Gap between screen and body: There were many reports online of an inconsistent gap between the screen and aluminum body of the phone, with an especially large gap near the corner with the camera. Maybe I got lucky, but did not have this issue. There's a VERY small gap on my phone, but it's consistent all the way around, appears to be by design, and doesn't bother me at all. 2) Speakers: I'm coming from a Pixel 2 which has stereo front firing speakers. While I do notice the lack of stereo sound on the Pixel 5, I found the overall volume and clarity of the Pixel 5 to be better actually. Does it compete with the best phones out there in terms of sound? Probably not. But for my purposes it is more than adequate. I also found the behind-screen speaker for phone calls to be fine. It's a little weird for the whole phone to vibrate when someone's talking, but I've already gotten used to it. 3) Old camera hardware: Coming from a Pixel 2 which takes good photos, the Pixel 5 is incrementally better. It's not going to compete with an iPhone 12 Pro in all departments, but it's still good even though the main camera hardware is a couple years old. Wide-angle is nice to have. 4) Midrange processor: I really haven't noticed this being an issue yet. Granted, I don't do a ton of photo processing or gaming on the phone. But for everyday tasks it's totally fine. Definitely faster and snappier than my Pixel 2, and the 90hz makes it all look buttery smooth. 5) Lack of squeeze-for-assistant: I'm already getting used to swiping up from the corner. Not really missing this feature as much as I thought I would. MINOR CONS: 1) The bio-resin on edges near the screen seems a little rough, and the cutout for the USB-C port could have been rounded a bit so the edge wasn't so "sharp". Neither seem like defects, but I used to use my pinky as a ledge to sit the phone on, and now that's a little uncomfortable. Just an adjustment I'll need to make. I don't use a case, so if you're planning on using one this issue will be moot for you. 2) Screen viewing angle seems slightly narrow. In normal use this is not an issue, but it it's not quite as good as an iPhone XS or 11. 3) No telephoto. I've never had one so I don't know what I'm missing. I think I have more use for wide-angle so it's an ok tradeoff for me, but it would have been nice to have telephoto too. If you have a Pixel 4 and use the telephoto a lot, this might not be the upgrade path for you. 4) This is more of an Android 11/app developer issue, but a lot of apps, including some Google apps like Chrome, don't do a good job of showing off the small uniform bezels on the Pixel 5. You still end up with black bars at the top and bottom in most cases behind the notification area at the top and the gesture line at the bottom. They should really be transparent, especially at the bottom. Maybe that'll improve with time, but it's hard to actually appreciate the nice bezels on the phone on anything but the home screen. All in all, this is a 5-star phone for me. Looks great, and it's well rounded. Recommended.

So far I've thoroughly loved this phone. I don't know that I'll ever be able to go to another phone again that doesn't run stock Android. For me the built in call screening is priceless. I no longer deal with dozens of spam calls every day and can simply screen the call. If by chance the caller is someone who actually needs to get a hold of me I quickly see the response and answer. This has reduced the number of spam calls I've been receiving and has made the ones that I do get much less annoying. Battery life has been exceptional with full use and every option turned on I can easily make it through two days on a charge. The quick charging also seems to work well. Typically the only time I charge is in the morning as I'm getting ready for the day. That is enough time to keep my battery up for the day and should hopefully keep the battery healthy for longer. The camera is exactly what I want it to be. I can pull it out and take quick pictures that look good and don't take any effort on my part. It's what a camera phone should be, simple, quick, and uses the processing power of the phone to improve the end result. I hear some complaints about the build quality, but as for me I appreciate how light it is and that I have an aluminum case with wireless charging. But really I don't know anyone that doesn't just cover their phone in a case anyways, so the looks of the phone should really just come down to the front screen which looks great and has very little bezel. Also I appreciate the fingerprint reader most of the time. It seems to work great, and I basically never have issues getting it to read me fingerprint and it's quick. The only time I wish for something else is when I lay it down on the table in front of me and have to pick it up to unlock it. A fingerprint scanner in the display or facial recognition would be better in those instances. I do think they should have left the option for facial recognition, but I understand that to keep the price a bit more reasonable there had to be some cuts and it's just not something that I would have typically used. For general use the fingerprint scanner on the back is much more convenient to use then anything on the front. Previous phones used. Galaxy S3, S4, S7. Honor 10, Moto G5

The design is sleek and feels premium in hand, with the Sorta Sage color adding a unique and subtle touch of personality. One of the biggest highlights of the Pixel 5 is its camera. The Night Sight feature is outstanding, capturing clear and vibrant photos even in low light conditions. The ultrawide lens is a great addition too, allowing for more creative shots and better landscape photography. The camera performance overall is one of the best you can find in this price range. Performance-wise, the Pixel 5 handles everyday tasks smoothly. Whether it’s browsing, streaming, or multitasking, the phone keeps up without any noticeable lag. However, if you’re into heavy gaming or demanding apps, you might notice some limitations. But for most users, it’s more than sufficient. The water resistance gives peace of mind for accidental spills or using the phone in the rain, and the battery life is solid, easily lasting a full day with moderate use.

Order arrived in less than a week. Product is exactly as stated (not US version). Phone is carrier unlocked. Super Happy!

I am very in disappointed with the Hotspot! I tried to do a connection with a android tv and doesn't work. With pc works but is lazy. The old phones that I had everyone used to works better with Hotspot.

mint condition, as new.
