    Pixel 5 big status bar

    I noticed this coming from my S20. I don't think it's that bad....

    If you takeaway 5G, is this phone an upgrade over the Pixel 4 and 4XL?

    Remember when 4K TVs were being sold but it was difficult to even find 4k content? 5G is at that stage. If you are the type of person to keep your phone for 2+ years, I would wait until next year's pixel. You would be waiting a year but you'd actually get better hardware along with 5G. Next...

    So Far, So Good. Only...

    OK, sure it doesn't actually feel like stone or ceramic but that is in part because it's not cold and dense. Purely from a texture standpoint, it does feel like matte ceramic in my very humble opinion. The comparisons to cardboard paper are harsh and pointless for the 80%+ of people who wear...

    So Far, So Good. Only...

    I am also coming from a S20 and still prefer the pixel. The 90hz is not really noticeable compared to the 120hz of the S20. I'd say that 90hz has 95% the fidelity of 120hz to the naked eye. Also, a lot of reviews kept saying that the back felt like cardboard (negative connotation) but I think it...

    Shipping date

    Going to return it? With the huge battery and small form factor of the pixel 5, if it's already loose i wonder if it won't get worse if the battery expands.

    Pixel 5 & $699 price

    I feel you. But for the price, and for someone who doesn't game on their phone, I think google checked all the right boxes with the Pixel 5. The back of the phone is ugly but considering that most people use cases, I don't think that will matter. The front of the phone is attractive with a...

    What case are you getting for your Pixel 5?

    Spigen thin fit case. I find that spigen makes the best thin hard shell cases and I've tried a lot of brands.

    Finally able to ditch Samsung?

    Pixel 1 - Huge, asymmetric bezels. Low quality OLED screen. Pixel 2 - Even larger, bezels. Are you kidding me Google?! Pixel 3 - Slow, not enough RAM. Pixel 4 - Tiny battery for a 90hz screen. Large-ish asymmetric bezels. Could use more RAM. No fingerprint reader. Pixel 5 - Perfection? I buy a...

    S20 vs Note 10 Impressions

    I love my S20. It makes a lot of small changes that add up to a more ergonomic and fluid device that makes it more natural to use almost like it's a part of your hand. The positioning of the buttons and 120hz display are small changes but overall make the experience better. The only blatant...

    Xfinity mobile

    Xfinity Mobile is on Verizon's network, but they somehow restrict certain phones from their network, in the same way Visible does (another Verizon MVNO). This hasn't been widely tested though but apparently if you don't use one of Xfinity Mobile or Visible's approved phones, you're going to have...

    Pre-order thread?

    Expedited shipping was free for me to Pennsylvania. Was it not for you?

    Samsung.com Orders

    I just submitted by order for an S20. I think the S20 has a $100 credit, the S20+ has a $150 credit, and the S20 Ultra has a $200 credit. No word on the $35 preorder credit. You'd probably have to wait for the email notification to get that credit.

    Pre-order thread?

    Even though the website didn't look any different after midnight, instead of being guided through to the pre preorder, I was able to just make the purchase. I just placed my order. It's current status is Payment Pending and estimate delivery date of March 6. There is a pre-authorization on my...

    S10 vs S20 fingerprint sensor face-off?

    Even if is the same sensor and technology, hopefully it's a larger area. I feel like many of my misreads are actually just due to not placing my finger squarely on the reader.
