So in preparation of receiving my Pixel 5, I ordered a case and screen protector as usual. Both arrived already and figured I'd take a picture of the two cases side by side so people can see the difference. I'm actually looking forward to a phone call I can use with one hand again. Fwiw, if you compare the actual usable screen area, it's very similar.

I still wish they made 5 XL. I have 4 xl right now and going back to smaller screen is not what I want to do.

Anyway, here is a 3 xl and 5 size stacked comparison.Screenshot_20201012-061804.jpeg

Right, but if you look specifically at the actual working screen space, they are almost identical. The 3xl has a big chin and the notch up top as well as thicker side bezels, while the 5 is edge to edge.

Some people just prefer a larger thing to hold. (Since my 2 has never been out of an Otterbox Defender case, I'd probably be uncomfortable holding it with no case on it.)

I can understand that too. Those people must have loved the Nexus 6.
