Pre-ordered Pixel 5 with Bose QC 35 II's for doing so. Sell them on as I already have a pair!

Wonder how trash the screens will be in terms of pink and green tints.

Seems to be the same every year?

And...

A US$35.00 restocking fee applies to this item for returns.

Interesting.

Tempted to sell my note 20 ultra. I still miss my pixel.

What's the warranty like with carphone warehouse?

Pigeon_Killer · 30 Sep 2020 at 19:41

I'm tempted but I'm going to wait for MKBHD to have his say first.

Would these headphones sell readily? If so how much for?

Sold prices on eBay look like £70-100

Edit
Cex offering £84

Pulled the trigger, anything over £599 and I'd probably have let it pass but at that price, WA camera, Pixel experience and the free Headphones it's a good deal in my eyes. Plus can always offload to the missus if it turns out dull.

Very true, turned off after 5 mins and just monitored the forum post.

Why!!!! Note 20 Ultra is a vastly superior phone to the Pixel 5.

Numbers aren't everything (for example the camera is dog ****). I do use my spen so I'll see.

I hoped to be swept up in the excitement of the occasion. Instead I had to listen to Mark Ronson.

Lol. Yeah I know what you mean. I think those days are gone, everything's too smooth and clean these days. Hell I even miss the Apple anoucements where the fan boys would whoop at any-*******-thing, used to get on my thrupny bits at the time but at least it had some passion to it.

True but i wouldn't give up my Note 20 Ultra for a Pixel 5 more so that it's only just come out, and selling it now is just chucking money away for the sake of something new.

Depends on how much you paid I guess.

£110 cash I see or £133 voucher

Android Central have an article saying Google are only planning to produce 800k units this year. Even with COVID lowering demand, that's a shockingly low amount.

Indeed correct

Same as the S20+ can take great pictures but also inconsistent, skin smoothing with all beauty features off. Pixel was usually amazing, if it's rubbish will sell on.

Do they mention any other manufacturers to compare it against?
