Pixel 5 XL?

[Mr MnmlEngr]

I rather they keep face ID , works great , but everthing else i agree.

I'm ready to commit to face id fully! I just wish more apps felt the same way.
You're probably right tho. It's a matter of time.

That's true , I'm sure more will come but your right .

Not much kept me away from the P4XL. I'd love to see a bigger battery (but not betting on it since that's never been a priority for them). If they go with glass backs again, I'd love for the black option to be frosted or matte. I hope to God that they don't use that U-shaped camera module we've seen leaked, as it looks terrible in my opinion. I was ok with the square module on the 4.
Other than that, they can keep the Soli module, I'd be open to it, but perhaps a in-display FPS, too? And at least maintain 90Hz.

We shall see.

It could be great to have a frosted or matte look to the Pixel 5 line! I'd love that. And if they could implement an an in-display fingerprint sensor, so much the better!

While I'd love to see it, I'd be really surprised if they did the in display fps. Just because it would seem like a walk back from Soli, and Google doesn't seem to be the type to walk back from a commitment.

I'd love to be wrong tho

You do have a point. I guess I could live with Soli if I had to... I just really love and rely on the security of fingerprint sensors of some kind.

Never been a a fan of the Pixel.

I think it's because they focus on the camera so much they forgot about the phone. Google also have this cocky attitude that our camera is so amazing we can charge flagship prices without putting too much effort to the rest of the phone.

I don't blame them, just look at the replies here.

They don't even put a lot of effort into the camera except for a lot of A.I. Not even a wide angle camera and their video is mediocre with horrific audio.

I still enjoy using the 4 XL to this day. I for one eagerly wait for the new pixels every year.

It's definitely a fun thing to wait for! Makes fall more exciting than it already is!

played around with the iphone x (i know its from 2017) I am liking it, but just can't not look at my pixel 1 and be like "i love that phone"

for some reason i am liking the X's screen (maybe bc it is bigger). The lack of app drawer is not bothering me as much as I thought it would...however, using google assistant app is not the same as integrated google assistant. Also, I would lose my android auto in my car.

Anyway, is the pixel 5 looking to be like pixel 1 or nexus 5? sub $700

 

[sulla1965]

Pretty much agree with all these points, but I think 3700mAh on the 4 XL was respectable enough, at least if using on 60Hz.

Maybe a more symmetrical top to bottom bezel next time around?

Very awkward to have that huge forehead and no chin.

Yep flossy pointed out how ugly the forehead looked, especially when paired with a case. Also there always seems to be that one design flaw with the pixels. Green tint, ugliest notch ever, huge forehead.

I saw an article that said cases are popping up online that show a hole for a fingerprint sensor in the back. I know that doesn't appeal to many people but I'm rocking my 2XL and using fingerprint unlock has been so quick and efficient.
Just a rumour though. I may actually buy the 5XL at launch, amortizing the cost over 3 years.

I hope they don't get rid of face ID , it works very well

Wonder if the pix 4a going to come ?

 

[gebco]

That 4a needs to be out now. My daughter's phone is on its last legs and she wants something small. She will probably end up with the S10.

The s10 very good phone , no pixel like 3a or similar?

 

[gebco]

She wants something fairly recent. The Pixel 4 is out due to reports of mediocre battery. The XL is too big. We won't look at Chinese phones so our choice is limited.

Gotcha, then she be happy with the s10 .

So I've been thinking about the possible delay of the Pixel 5. I'm wondering if it is delayed into 2021 whether Google will extend updates and support for the Pixel 2, given that the upgrade cycle would be extended. I would frankly be OK with that as my 2XL is running great.
The 4a can't come out fast enough though for my wife and daughter, both of whom are rocking a KeyOne with failing batteries. Those KeyOnes have been absolute workhorses for them though.
