Google Pixel 5

I can't see a reason to switch from my OnePlus 7t other than the camera, and that's getting next to no use these days due to Covid and lack of holidays etc.
 
I'll have a hands on tomorrow but I think it'll be too small for me.

They removed various flagship bits and bobs, and added a small amount of ram and storage. I would not be surprised if the underlying profit per unit increased.

I was surprised the 4a was 128gb tbf

To keep costs down. Same reason they got rid of face unlock and active edge.

Fair enough, not fussed about face unlock.

Looking at a few benchmarks it appears to be slower than my 3XL so I would be losing some speed, have a smaller screen with a lower resolution and DPI in return for an ultrawide camera and more storage. Think I'm going to keep mine for another year.
 
OK, I am tempted.

90 Hz aside, I assume I should expect a big improvement on the 2XL? I’m certainly not concerned about losing Quad HD, always felt that was overrated.

I’ve missed wireless charging since my S7E.

I’ve always felt the 2XL felt too chunky. This also has a bigger battery.

Still salty about the lack of telephoto lens, but still, the price is less than I thought it would be. I can imagine this might end up being a great real world device.

Anyone heard those headphones? Was pondering picking up some more BT headphones for the mrs to use anyway.
 
Spontaneously upgraded to S10+ from S10e this week, otherwise would be pretty interested in this as the headphones bring the price down to a real mid range level.

I've gone ahead as its better than the pixel 2xl.

I already have some BT headphones so not too bothered about these. In every sense this will be an upgrade - better camera, more storage (I only have the 64gb phone), better battery, better processor, more RAM.
 
Is the camera on this much better than the huawei p20 pro (my current phone)?

Is the processor any better? Im not particularly bothered about cpu speed just wondering if its worth the expenditure.
 
I went Google store - 24 months with Klarna for £25 pcm 0% APR worked out well on the wallet.

Will be coming from a OP5T so a little upgrade in processing power, screen and android version. Phone is a touch smaller too which will be nice.
