Pixel 5

I've kept all my oneplus phones for ages so figure worn out charging ports may be an issue with all brands?

I had the same issue with my 5t - had the port replaced twice. Never had any issues with the usb-c port on my Nexus 6p and hasn't been an issue on my 3aXL either.

I'd say it's definitely a One Plus issue.

Black still in stock. Might be the last chance get one before the 19th when deal ends. I ordered another myself

out for delivery (sage)

There was probably only minutes between us ordering on the Google Store, and yet this is me currently waiting for a notification of any kind from either Revolut or Google.

Bought mine on the 4th of October and delivery is still set for 18th November, I'll give it 2 more days otherwise I'm gonna cancel and buy the new OnePlus

Same here, I'm getting very restless waiting for my dispatch notification from Google Store, mainly as I don't want to miss out on the headphones

My Pixel arrived a little while ago, just updating apps at the minute and fully charging

I'm coming from a galaxy S10 and this is my first pixel since the standard Pixel 2. It feels far more premium than I anticipated. Cold to the touch, the rear has an almost painty sort of feel off of it. Sage green looks well with the black fabric case too and the size is perfect in the hand :pac:

Looking forward to getting stuck in now for the day!

Never any issues with ours, wife's Oneplus 3 was 3 years old when she replaced it with a Pixel 3a. Had got glitchy though and crashed one night and wouldn't restart for several hours. Reset and it seems to be fine now kids still use it sometimes and still charges fine.

I have the Oneplus 5 since launch in June 2017 still working perfectly. To be honest there's little reason to upgrade yet it if it still got updates. It's still stable and responsive. Battery life isn't quite as good but it still lasts all day with heavy use. Dash charge is still faster than most modern C USB PD phones. Not sure how much longer it's safe to use when its not getting security updates? It got Andoid 10 back in May.

I would like a better camera I can see the 3a is better especially in low light/ indoors. Was tempted by the 3a but it's a little small want something around 6.5" screen size.

Short list at the moment are the Pixel 5 or 4a 5g. Would probably pay the extra for the 5 for the wireless charging and water resistance though I prefer the bigger screen of the 4a 5g. Oneplus 8T is tempting at that price point though. Cheaper option at €410 for the Oneplus Nord which is closer to what I want to spend. €620 for the 8T/Pixel 5 if I get 3 years out of again isn't bad considering the amount I use it though.

Cheaper options I'm considering are the Moto G9 plus/ Poco X3 NFC but not sure I would be happy going back to an LED display from an Amoled and the cameras aren't going to be much better than my Oneplus 5.

Might just wait a bit and see if Vodafone do a switching offer again on the Pixels. I'll see what they offer for the Xperia 5 II too, it's getting good reviews and comes with Sony WH-XB900N headphones.

Phone arrived, pretty snappy, it feels really small and light incomparison to the OnePlus 7 Pro. Will take some getting used to.

Initial impressions are good.

Would you consider the realme 7 pro? Great value and ticks a lot of boxes eg 65w fast charging, wireless charging, headphone jack,stereo speakers, large amoled screen and they're owned by oppo. Cameras would probably be a bit lacking though.

Yea was looking at it seems good but a decent camera is a priority. A lot of the mid range phones would be better if they just put one decent image sensor in it rather than imitating the flagships and putting 1 ok one and 2 or 3 crap ones.

This is gone off the store and I'm asking myself do I really want it?

I've had 4 exchanged Pixel 4XL phone's in less than a year all for the same issue and I am convinced they are just a dodgy phone compared to any of the Nexus or Pixels I had previously...

Google have agreed a refund as I filed a small claims court case, so I'm torn between one of these and going iPhone, decisions decisions....

ive had pixels for a few years now and sticking with pixel 4 as i like the face unlock and form factor... ill be waiting for the 6 before changing again.. to be honest ive been leaning more towards iphone as there's no real advantage going pixel these days.. they had the best cameras and maybe still do but everyone else is so close now doesnt matter

I had Nexus one and 4 and pixel 1,2 and now 5. I've said this earlier but the only phone I have found as speedy as this is the oppo find 7. As someone else said benchmarks...meh...I don't want a 1200 phone! It feels great and here I am a day later still on 44% battery ðŸ˜

Preferably I’d probably get an iphone (if I could talk myself into another year of lightning) but there’s no value there at all the way they have them priced. The mini is the most intriguing but it’ll probably have the battery life of the Pixel 4.

I've never had an iPhone in all the years of having a smartphone, I was just so fed up returning this phone at least every 3 months when something goes wrong that I considered an iPhone, the iphone I would want is the Pro but can't fathom spending that kind of cash on it when I could have a Pixel 5 and the change would get me close to a PS5...

The fact it is out of stock on google store is putting me closer to iPhone mind you...

That has a 3 week delivery though
