Now all we need is the price. The 5 should be no more than £599. 529 if we're lucky.

So according to that the UWA lens is on the Pixel 4a XL too?

It looks like there's only 2GB of RAM between them? If that's the case I'd probably prefer the XL for extra screen real estate, unless there's a stupid massive notch there again.

Actually, looks like the XL is a 60Hz screen...

I think the differences are screen refresh rate, RAM and plastic body.

$699 apparently.

Not sure what that'll be over here?

There was a UK supplier that had it up at £615.

Can't see the UK price being cheaper? That never happens, does it?

Maybe just a place holder.

The 5 uses the 765g as well. Seems odd.

The pixel 5 has a smaller screen than the 4a...What are google doing.

Then the 5 has more ram than the 4a.

Google are crackers they don't know what they are doing.

Personally, I prefer a more compact phone.
I think the 5 screen size is ideal for my use case. Probably not for half the other users.
The more I look at the specs, The more I'm interested but it needs to be priced right for a mid range unit.

There is no formula to the perfect screen size.

I went from the small Pixel 3 from which the size I loved and vowed never to get a huge phone again.... To a oneplus 8 pro and now I'm perfectly fine with the size and even the curved sides.

the 5 screen looks good to me, the 5 is almost exactly the same size as my P2 but with an extra inch of screen and much higher resolution.

I might get the 5, but not at £600+
Smaller phone than my 2XL, same size screen but with a lower resolution I can probably live with and a higher refresh which I'd like to try

Big oof. £300 more than what the specs are worth imo.

michty_me · 25 Sep 2020 at 22:15

Yeah that's too much.
Will wait a while for the price drop.

Dirk Diggler · 25 Sep 2020 at 22:22

I think I'll switch my focus to the OnePlus 8T.

thebandit · 26 Sep 2020 at 09:01

At £600 I'd be tempted by the 5, although the pricing rumours are starting to make me think the 4a5g will be ~ £500, then Google wants the equivalent of another $200 on top, so maybe as high as£650 for the 5, hope I'm wrong.

superleeds27 · 26 Sep 2020 at 09:14

Maybe it's time to look at the S20 fe
