Its funny that the first midrange Pixel is arguably the best looking. Still wish they wouldve kept the panda colorway. he white Pixel 4 was one of the best colorways on any phone ever IMO.
Yes, I do. I also know that Google got rid of Soli for the Pixel 5 and the fingerprint sensor is back, too.
that is true but is not relevant to our discussion...then you know those are hardware solutions.
One of my all time favorites was the "panda" model lol
I think Google is doing the right thing with the Pixel 5 and made a mistake with the Pixel 4 with too much useless hardware that kept the price too high.
By going midrange, they should lower the price as well.
I'm not really sure what your argument is as it relates to pricing. The 4a exists, which boasts the best image quality and software experience, at the price point that the Nexus line used to occupy. The Pixel 5 will come in $200 lower than Pixel 4, while having a dual camera system, 5G, and other features like wireless charging, etc that we have come to expect of much more expensive flagship models.
I actually held on to that phone for much longer than I should have (the display was horrific) because of that color setup. Lol.
Well I disagree that FaceUnlock and Soli was useless hardware as you stated. What might be useless to you is very useful to others. The Google did release the 3a..4a to people that did not want flagship specs.....
Are you getting the 4a or 5 now that it matches your budget?
Do you have any Android phones? What is your daily driver?
I've been using Nexus and Pixels since they came out. I'm using a 3XL today and skipped the 4 because it didn't have the fingerprint sensor and was too expensive.
I will be getting the 5 and hoping it is priced at $599 and will offer to trade in my 3XL.
yeah it really sounds like a useless argument...or arguing just for arguments sake. Don't like the P4XL...buy the 4a or the 5.
I sure hope the 5 comes in white. Black is just a little boring. I may have to go green as I haven’t seen any leaks of a white color.
I'd call it 'paper towel green' haha. We had recycled paper towels this colour in primary school. Or preschool or whatever you USA folk call it 🤷 haha.
I realized that green makes it look almost identical to my 11 Pro in its light green silicone case. 😮
It’s a nice color, but I have a special fondness for white Pixels.
Unfortunately, my disappointment that it can’t insert Porgs and Pokémon characters into pictures and videos knows no bounds! You all have no idea how many restless little kids I’ve settled down with that feature! I seriously averted a potentially disastrous meltdown from a friend’s kid who had gotten sick with a bad cold during a big group trip. I amused them by sticking Pokémon into all the scenes around us. I had Charizard roaring at people and getting on things he really shouldn’t. It really distinguished my Pixel 2 (and 3XL) from my other phones. But it’s not “serious” and just a goofy gimmick so away it goes. Sigh.
So I am not about to trade away my 3XL now.

It's fine. I appreciate that it's different than other greens we have seen, and if I was buying this phone then I would probably go for it. But I'd rather have the mint green power button from Pixel 3 vibe.
Can't wait to get the Pixel 5, I'm so done with the FaceID crap on my 4 XL, it's gotten worse lately it seems. More than half the time I need to enter my Passcode to get past lock screen.
I'll take fingerprint scanner back again.

I’m really liking that green color. But, still—nothing beats the 4’s black, orange, and white combo.
