Screen size is why I bought it, finally we have a phone that fits in one hand and a battery that lasts all day and can be used without a case and won't pull your shorts down because it doesn't weigh a tonne Speakers could be better

Google had a problem with a system app, of you go to app store you should see an update for web view, that fixes it

These aren't facts, it's just a poll and we've no idea where those polled were pulled from . It may be true , it may not be.

I bet the new owners like me would be very loyal though Not great news for Google admittedly, but the Pixel 5 is the phone I've been waiting for for years

That doesn't reflect those coming to Google from other brands, which I did, because the Pixel 5 is perfect for me

Since the March update the battery indicator big has returned for me, seems to be stuck then suddenly jumps right down to almost empty

The main reason I eventually abandoned Samsung was the weight an shere size, I just wanted a simpler smaller lighter phone than did everything without a fuss and didn't pull your shorts down in summer . And then can the Pixel 5. Perfect , almost The launcher could do with some work

Yes I think it Google, Ive just walked upstairs and Nest Thermostat which I've now set to use the mobile phone and it regularly thinks I'm out ( I set a light to come on so I know ) I've tweaked Google Maps a it's out with my address, I've tried everything wit Nest and Google and it still trips.

Oh and check the pin position in Google Maps first, I had to edit my home address

Try going into into Smart lock and clicking the greyed cell at the top marked Home, it's the home used by Google Home and I think has a bigger range

I have Nest thermo, Hue lights, Google Home in every room, Sonos on voice control and several smart plugs, plus a Ring door cam, plus two Nest cameras . They are individually great products but the Google Home app is awful, far too complex and clashes with phone routines . I can get routines...

Blackberry Curve my fave ever phone
