Google Pixel 5 Review: For folks who LIKE little phones!

Pixel 5 review! My video hinges on one major decision. Do you like smaller phones? There aren't many good options for a smaller "one thumb" mighty mouse running Android, especially phones including a 5G radio. Using the Pixel 5 for a couple weeks, let's chat some of my pros and cons of this punchy little option. What Google is doing here is interesting, but is it the right fit for you?

I love that you go out of the box and from "popular" brands, and instead put your efforts on to reviewing from your personal experience 👆.

Cheers man🍻.

You and Mr Mobile are my favorite when it comes to rational reviews.

2020: The year Small Phones became Mighty once more!

My thoughts exactly. It’s why I bought the Pixel 5. Good all around phone in the form factor I want. Too many high end androids all have 6.5” screens.

Fantastic review, I moved from an OP8 Pro to the Pixel 5 and I haven't missed anything! The Pixel is such a great overall experience 😀

Best review of the Pixel 5 yet. Exactly the reason I bought one. Comfort, speed and huge battery life!

[BonzyVegasCraps]

I love the simplicity and UI on this phone. Lifelong iphone user and happy to switch.

Battery life alone wins. This is the first Android phone I've had that when I go to bed it's at 100% and when I wake up 6 hrs later....100%. I've only ever had iPhones do that.

I subscribed within the first 30 seconds of the video. Thanks for standing up to this benchmark chasing techtube of a community. I always thought something was up with them but was never introduced to the alternatives :)

As always another great review. Currently running with the LG G8s but looking at the P5 as I'm due an upgrade and I loved my P2 XL but the LG is such a good phone.

Awesome review, I immediately had to subscribe. One thing no one mentions (because I have the Pixel 5) is the awesome notification and ringtones they come with, they're so unique and fun!

I liked how you summed up the pixel 5 as a communicator phone.

[ijamorris]

I used to be a spec head but I'm slowly starting to slow down to what's important to practical usage in my older age rather than latest and greatest. Love your angle on how to review as a "user" and not a techy

I just picked up the pixel 5 and replaced my s10+. I've missed this phone so much and have absolutely no issues with it at all. The battery is crazy good and last me almost a day and a half with my use

[baldiemurph]

I use my P5 all day long and have yet to kill the battery. It's perfectly fine for high screen on time usage. Yes there are better phones for gaming and video. But if your just looking for a phone with near 10 hours of SOT and a streamlined UI you really can't find a better phone in this smaller form factor

Love to see lg and Google collaboration 😁

[Superfly]

Thank you for making these very sane points.

Appreciate your voice in the tech landscape👌🙆‍♂️

I liked the intro notion. A lot of people that complain about it not using something like an 865+ are probably just gamers that want to game hours on end, and to that I say, you have your own market. Any OP, ROG, even Lenovo got into the gaming segment.

But for the most part any smartphone that doesn't cost 100$ will get practically anyone that doesn't want to game 5 hour sessions will last years.

This is awesome. Set this trend, please. I don't know who else needs to see this. Yeah, a 1400 dollar phone is better but it costs twice as much. That phone better be twice as good. Also I'm worried about every release this year because QA is made substantiall harder with Human Malware. The Note 20 should be better at productivity than this phone it MSRPs for much higher. I am curious to see how the screen seperation continues.
