Are you going to Order the Pixel 5?

[anon(596177)]

Im more hoping Google hid the XL so well no one even knew. Otherwise its a fail of a release tbh.

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 the cost down. Except that obviously didn't help if the phone is being priced at 700 bucks.

I mean the 4a 5G is even smaller lol. This entire release is a complete botch and fail

Going by the pole numbers, things don't look to good for the pixel 5. But if sales are down, hopefully Google will discount the 5 pretty quickly.

Yo 'Stang Dude - do we get a "Ordered a Pixel 5 thread"

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 to a mid-range to save on cost, they make the phone out of aluminum instead of glass, yet they still price the phone at $700 (according to reliable leaks). The Pixel 4, the smaller one, started at 800 last year with a flagship processor, more "premium" build quality and more hardware tech. The price of this phone makes absolutely no sense.

obviously all of the above is assuming all the leaks are true. I'm seriously hoping Google is going to make a last-minute decision to decrease the price of this phone.

Exactly right. Another year, another Pixel that costs just a bit more than it should. But hey, there's always Black Friday around the corner.

Yes , let me check

A lot of people are saying they will wait for the pixel 6. I highly doubt Google will go back to a TOTL phone line, but who knows. I wouldn't be surprised if they get out of the midrange market by next year and just stick with the 'a' series $400 phones.

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.

I don't think I'd want the P5 at any price really. I'm not trying to bash it...it will be a great phone for some people. But for my needs, it just doesn't check enough boxes.

 

[eric002]

I can understand that, everyone's needs are different. Teach their own at the end of the day!

 

[ezeuzo1]

Definitely getting this phone... maybe

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