Highly subjective on what you consider worthwhile. They did address complaints from the 4 and 4xl with the 5, but they made sacrifices to literally everything else. And IMO it's not a worthwhile upgrade at all because of that. Of all the silly hardware choices, the biggest one has to be the...

Telephoto and macro cameras don't really tend to be very strong, or good. If Google has their super res zoom algorithm dialed in to where it can do what the p4 and 4xl could do with a secondary telephoto, the regular lens could potentially do the work of a telephoto lens too.

Going back to unlimited full res photos after not offering that with only the pixel 4 series phones would have done exactly the opposite and angered people who bought into the 4.

But, in my opinion that's yet another problem with the Pixel 5. They do have a low end budget phone with the Pixel 4a, and that phone is absolutely incredible for its price. The 4A 5G compliments the original 4A nicely by giving the option of a larger screen and 5G for only 100 bucks more. But...

This phone would be competitively priced if it had the Snapdragon 865 in it. Considering it has the 765G it's priced on the high side of the mid-range lineup, which in my opinion does not make this competitively priced at all.There are plenty of phones in this category that are going to compete...

Used it 2 weeks ago on my 4xl at two separate restaurants to get their menus, didn't have any problems.

That's really not all that low considering used ones go for about $400 on swappa. Trade in price is always going to be less than resale price.

Yeah, I have a feeling a majority of their sales is going to become from the Black Friday discount they seem to do every year. I'm a pretty hardcore pixel fanboy but I wouldn't touch this with a 6-ft pole at $700.

That was the most underwhelming release for a pixel ive ever seen lol

Completely fair. The only reason im even in the 'black friday steal only' camp is because i really dislike the 4xl's battery life.

Yup. At this point a hefty sale on Black Friday is the only thing that's going to convince me getting this phone into my hands would be worth it.

One of the other leaks I heard was that the 4A 5G was supposed to be the Pixel 5 XL. I don't remember why it was rebranded, but if that was the case then that is where the xl phone went. I do think it's a mistake to not have a Pixel 5 XL, unless the reason was to focus on one single SKU to keep...

But that is unfortunately exactly the problem with this phone. They make all of these sacrifices, they get rid of soli, they continue on with only two cameras, they make the decision to only make one size phone instead of two so they are only having to produce one SKU, they dropped the processor...

I use my phone in a pinch for phone + RDP sessions to a work computer. In those cases it's nice to have something snappy. And sorry but I disagree with you. While you are free compare the 765g to processors that came out two years ago, for the sake of current gen silicon the 765g is very much so...

You would need a bigger phone than the 4xl? Don't get me wrong I love the 4xl but it's a rather big slab of a phone. I wouldn't want anything with a bigger footprint, but a screen that actually reached edge to edge on it would be nice.
