  6. Google pixel will never be as popular as Samsung or Apple until they can finally stick to a distinct design people want a recognizable phone not one they have to get used to every year on that note I do plan on switching back to a pixel from my note 10 plus soon

  12. I ALWAYS BELIEVED PIXEL WAS THE CHOSEN ONE IMAGINE THERE ARE BILLIONS OF ANDRIOD USERS AND 100S OF PHONES 1000 IN THE LAST GEN OF PHONES. SO IMAGINE BEING ABLE TO COME FROM AN OS SYSTEM THAT IS OWNED BY THE COMPANY WHICH IS THERE BRAND OF COURSE PIXEL IS THE ONE THAT CAN BE THE BEST AND HAVE ITS OWN ANDRIOD SPECIAL BEST BENEFITS

  13. PEOPLE DONT KNOW ALOT OF CELEBRITIES ACTUALLY HAVE THE PIXEL 4 AND 5 MODELS. LIKE GIGI HADID JUSTIN BIEBER AND I'VE SEEN IT ON 21 QUESTIONS EVEN ZAC EFRON. SO THEY ALL DO HAVE THEM ALREADY BECAUSE IMAIGINE IPHONE IS IPHONE BECAUSE ITS APPLE. ITS BIRTH OF OS SO IMAGINE GOOGLE WHICH BOUGHT ANDRIOD IN 2005 NOW MAKES THERE OWN PHONE BUT OWNING 75 PERCENT OF ANY SMARTPHONE USE THERE OS NOW THIS CAN BEAT ANY PHONE BECAUSE THERE OS ON ANDRIOD WILL BE TREATED LIKE THE BIRTH CHILD OF ANDRIOD OS WHICH IS THE PIXEL BRAND SO SAMSUNG HAS ALREADY MADE A SCREEN FOR THEM AND ITS MATCHES THEM PROBABLY BECAUSE THERE USING THERE OS SYSTEM.

  14. DUDE YOU DIDNT KNOW HUH THEY WILL ITS CALLED PIXEL 6 PRO IN 2021 WILL BE A 6.8IN TOP SPECS BEST ANDRIOD WITH 120HZ AND FUNCTIONS SMOOTHER FASTER AND BETTER THEN ANY ANDRIOD POSSIBLE

  19. I’d honestly switch to a pixel or a Samsung only if they had better looking emoji, especially pixel. Pixel emojis look horrendous

  21. Someone tell companies to make normal sized phones like this one. Stop with the giant screens aka "Tablets" for smartphones.

  22. Such a great phone for me; have been Team Google since the Nexus days. I don't upgrade each time one drops, and honestly, I don't need to — features are always That Good. Have gone from a Pixel 3 to a 5 and the difference (size notwithstanding) is noticeable but not incredible. LOVE the smaller size, and the butter-smooth transitions; still getting used to new swiping techniques but phone is definitely ???. Thanks, Marques, for the great review!

  28. Literally only got rid of the GP3XL cause it started boot looping. "Upgraded" to a S21U and I hate it. I want another pixel but this GP5 is a significant step DOWN from the GP3XL. Dangit google!

  29. As a pixel 5 user, idk. The phone is average and has heat problems when playing games for some time or even using some other specific apps. The wireless charging is alright but basically pointless. The camera is nothing new, the same old pixel camera. The major problem I have with it are the speakers. They really just suck especially with the one on the top side of the screen. If you really want a pixel phone, get the 4a. It's basically the same exact thing and its weird that the 4a is better than the 5 with the price difference. Also being in Thailand, there is no google service here, and very few people that can repair pixel phones. I don't see myself getting anymore pixel phones until Google opens up to Thailand someday like apple, sony, etc.

    Also: the phone is not made entirely of aluminum, the outer shell is bio resin, then the aluminum is inside all that bio resin. You can only scratch the phone if you have a knife really, so I don't have a problem with it.
