    "

    Meet Pixel 5, the ultimate Google phone with the speed of 5G.[2] It has the helpful stuff you need in a phone, with an extra boost of 5G speed. So you can download a movie in seconds,[3] take stunning ultrawide photos in any light, and keep going with an all-day battery that can last up to 48 hours with Extreme Battery Saver.[8] Pixel 5 also charges wirelessly,[6] keeps your data safe, blocks robocalls,[11] and is water-resistant.[10] It’s the super helpful 5G Google cell phone at a helpful price. And it’s an unlocked smartphone, so you can choose the data plan and carrier that work for you.[1]

    [1] Works with all major carriers. Contact carrier for details. 5G service is carrier dependent.
    [2] Requires a 5G data plan (sold separately). 5G service and roaming not available on all carrier networks or in all areas. Contact carrier for details about current 5G network performance, compatibility, and availability. Phone connects to 5G networks, but 5G service, speed, and performance depend on many factors including, but not limited to, carrier network capabilities, device configuration and capabilities, network traffic, location, signal strength, and signal obstruction. Actual results may vary. Some features not available in all areas. Data rates may apply.
    [3] Download speed claims based on testing videos from three streaming platforms. Average download time was less than sixty seconds. File sizes varied between 449MB and 1.3GB. Download speed depends upon many factors, such as file size, content provider and network connection. Testing conducted in an internal 5G network lab and on pre-production hardware in California in July/August 2020. Actual download speeds may be slower.
    [4] Enabling gameplay with cellular data may increase your mobile data usage up to 2.7GB/hr. Gameplay is service-, network-, connection-, and game-dependent, and may not be available for all games in all areas. Users may experience inconsistent gameplay. Stadia requires account creation.
    [5] Hotspot capability subject to carrier plan.
    [6] Qi-compatible. Wireless charger sold separately.
    [7] Designed to charge Qi-certified devices. Use of Battery Share significantly reduces Pixel battery life. Cases may interfere with charging and will reduce charging speed. Charge speeds may vary.
    [8] For “All day”: Maximum battery life based on testing using a mix of talk, data, standby, and use of other features. Testing conducted on two major carrier networks using Sub-6 GHz non-standalone 5G (ENDC) connectivity. For “Up to 48 hours”: Maximum battery life based on testing using a mix of talk, data, standby, and use of limited other features that are default in Extreme Battery Saver mode (which disables various features including 5G connectivity). Testing conducted on two major carrier networks. For both claims: Pixel 4a (5G) and Pixel 5 battery testing conducted by a third party in California in mid 2020 on pre-production hardware and software using default settings, except that, for the “up to 48 hour claim” only, Extreme Battery Saver mode was enabled. Battery life depends upon many factors and usage of certain features will decrease battery life. Actual battery life may be lower.
    [9] Android version updates for at least 3 years from when the device first became available on the Google Store in the US.
    [10] Pixel 5 has a dust and water protection rating of IP68 under IEC standard 60529. Charger and accessories are not water or dust resistant. Water and dust resistance are not permanent conditions and may be compromised due to normal wear and tear, repair, disassembly or damage.
    [11] US only. English only. Call Screen may not detect all spam calls.
    [12] Screen sharing not available on group calls. Requires Wi-Fi or 5G internet connection. Not available on all apps and content. Data rates may apply. 5G service, speed and performance depend on many factors including, but not limited to, carrier network capabilities, device configuration and capabilities, network traffic, location, signal strength, and signal obstruction.
    [13] Some third-party apps and data may not be transferred automatically.
    [14] Subscriptions may be required. [15] Not available for all apps and content. Display automatically adjusts to optimize for best viewing and battery performance.
    [16] Storage specifications refer to capacity before formatting. Actual formatted capacity will be less.
    [17] Maximum battery life based on testing using a mix of talk, data, standby, and use of other features. Battery life depends upon many factors and usage of certain features will decrease battery life. Pixel 4a (5G) and Pixel 5 battery testing conducted by a third party in California in mid 2020 on pre-production hardware and software, using default settings. Testing conducted on two major carrier networks using Sub-6 GHz non-standalone 5G (ENDC) connectivity. Actual battery life may be lower.
    [18] Qualcomm Snapdragon is a product of Qualcomm Technologies, Inc. and/or its subsidiaries. Qualcomm and Snapdragon are trademarks of Qualcomm Incorporated, registered in the United States and other countries.
    [19] Back housing only.
    [20] Up to 18W wired charging rates are based upon use of the included charger plugged into a wall outlet. Actual results may be slower.
    [21] Charging rates are based upon use of the included charger plugged into a wall outlet. Actual results may vary.

    My best smartphone upgrade ever - from Pixel 3 to Pixel 5
    5 Stars
    My best smartphone upgrade ever - from Pixel 3 to Pixel 5
    I was quite happy with my Pixel 3 until recently its battery drained like crazy. I only got ~2.5hrs of screen-on time and I knew it's about time for an upgrade. My first choice has always been a new Pixel since I'm a huge fan of Google phones (I owned Nexus 5, Nexus 6P, Pixel XL OG and Pixel 3). My only concern this year is the 765G chipset, and I almost considered purchasing an iPhone 12. Fortunately, I decided to take a chance and give Pixel 5 a shot... and it really impressed me, big time!Pros:1. TOP-NOTCH fingerprint sensor. All my Nexus/Pixel phones except Nexus 5 had a fingerprint sensor, and over the years I can tell its progression in terms of unlocking speed. However, I've always been having issues to unlock, either due to my sweaty hands or a dusty sensor, which sadly happened about 50% of the time. But Pixel 5's sensor is in a different league. It's so fast and reliable, and I can successfully unlock almost 99% of the time!2. The phone is smooth as butter thanks to the 90hz screen and 8 gigs of RAM. Screen tone is on the warm side (similar to Nexus 5 which I liked a lot!) comparing to Pixel 3, and it's also brighter. I would upgrade my phone just because of this screen alone.3. Perfect dimension for someone appreciates "compact" phones. The symmetrical bezel design looks amazing. It's pretty much of the same size of Pixel 3, but houses a slightly bigger screen. Feels comfortable holding in hand or keeping in pocket.Cons:1. The under-display earpiece slightly affects call quality (degrades about 20%) and muffles as a speaker. I personally don't care it so much since I rarely use my phone as a boombox.2. The cameras haven't impressed me, unfortunately... though there are so many good words about them on the internet. I still remember the first time I took an HDR photo under complex lighting condition using my original Pixel XL, it was mind-blowing, but Pixel 5's cameras just aren't significantly better than those on my good old Pixel 3. Hopefully I can appreciate them in the future, as I take more photos on my Pixel 5.3. Not the perfect handset if you're a savage mobile gamer. Don't get me wrong, Snapdragon 765G is more than enough for normal uses, and has no issue offering user experience that's probably better than most premium phones. Even for gaming, I can still run Genshin Impact (which is a graphics-heavy game that almost killed my Pixel 3) on Pixel 5 with mid-low graphic settings without any problem. But you might need something else if you need the best graph and highest frame rates while gaming.

    The customer service was super helpful when I entered the wrong shipping address for my order and promptly helped me resolve me issue.

    The phone is perfect as well!!! Number 1 Android phone value in 2024.

    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.

    Can't believe I paid as little as I did for such a pristine looking phone. It could have came out of the box. No scratches blemishes cracks or dings. Shipping was fast.

    I'm reluctant to pay this much for a smartphone as they're pretty much a consumable these days. That said, the Pixel 5 is a fantastic phone. Clean, vanilla Android, snappy performance, beautiful pictures and battery for days sum it up. The cell and WiFi radios outperform my Essential phone by a country mile. I can make phone calls on Verizon from my house, something the last three phones were not able to do reliably. It will stay connected to our spotty WiFi better than any other phone or tablet I've owned. The pictures are nicely exposed and vibrant in any but the poorest conditions. It's a great size and weight for a smartphone. The screen looks rich and smooth as silk, but not oversaturated. The fingerprint sensor isn't as reliable as I'd like, and that it's surface looks like the texture on the rest of the back of the phone means that you can't glance at it to see if it's clean. And if it's to work, it needs to be really, really clean. The fit and finish is nice, and I didn't get an example with the half installed screen. I like the texture that's been applied to the body, even if it reminds me of Plastidip. The phone feels solid, but not overly weighty. It's sits in a jeans pocket nicely. Sits nicely in the hand, too. Just enough weight. Just enough. The GPS receiver appears to be quite a bit more sensitive than any previous phone of mine. It locks in on location fast, and in many places others never see the satellites. Wireless charging is, well, nice, if not the ultimate experience. Most of that is not an reflection of the phone. It's nice to be able to just lay the phone on a charger for the night. Small, round chargers, however, leave the phone vulnerable to being knocked off the nightstand. I switched to one that's a rounded rectangle, similar in size to the phone. Happiness. And, it's easier to get the phone placed relative to the charger's coil so that it will charge. Wireless charging is slow, of course, but the Pixel 5 will charge from 15% to full overnight. Speaking of charging, the Pixel 5 is relatively slow to charge when plugged into USB-C, but not to the point of being a real problem. Just don't expect to throw 50% charge on it while you're in the shower. I'm still learning the camera app, but it's more than good enough from what I've seen so far. Portrait Light would be useful on any subject, but Google only shows the control if they think the subject is human. Yes, some of us take pictures of cats, too, and that lighting magic would be nice to have. Maybe it will develop enough over time to be used in any picture.
    So, all in all, the Pixel 5 is a significant upgrade, and an outstanding smartphone experience. I do recommend.

    No son nuevos, pedí el color verde y venía en una caja de un pixel 5 pero negro. La pantalla se ve un poco despegada cuando deslizas el dedo para ir atrás sientes que raspa el cristal en el dedo.

    I was initially worried since it was not launched in India. But I have received the original Pixel 5 5G product (Sorta Sage). The color and finish are brilliant. It is the best design till date by Google. The sound system is okay. The battery life is impressive. The video quality has improved a lot over the last phones. Photos as usual are top of the line and better than any other phone on the market. The price is a bit too high since it is imported but what to do anyway.
    5 Stars!

    In simple words this is very plane,simple and sober phone for classic personality person.
