Are you going to Order the Pixel 5?

[Mike Dee]

Oh, what's up with the trade in value. Google Store, $292.00 vs Fi $365.00 for the 4XL?

Maybe Fi is a hard sell so they are attempting to entice people.

What I don't like is that I can use Google Financing with the Google store but not with Fi.

I'm in Fi, have been since 2016.

Yeah....it's a strange relationship between Google and Fi

I also am on Fi - got a trade-in value of $290 for my Pixel 4 on both Fi store and Google store - who knows?

Pixel 5 out of stock in Fi store now.

I am not sure what difference between a Google Fi unlocked phone and a regular unlocked phone is, the plot thickens.

Overpriced? Compared to what's out there spec wise, I think it's competitively priced. The regular Note 20 was over priced, it didn't even have 90hz screen. If Google can do with 2 rear cameras what others do with 3 or 4 that'll be awesome.

oh, I'd have to absolutely! Google has done with one challenge but every other awareness done with three to four so far. So, I'm sure they'll be able to achieve it. As far as the pricing goes, I think $700 for the pixel 5 is very competitive for what it offers. If the pics of five for $1,000 or $1,100, that would be a different story. However, it's not.

No dual nano-sim, only a eSIM that is useless for me. So I'm out unfortunately as I require dual-sim and don't want to maintain 2 devices.

Shame because I love the Pixel 5 otherwise. Perfect size, excellent build quality and materials, well priced I think. Although I would've have preferred the FPS on the side.

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 with the Pixel, most notably the s20 fan edition, which sports the 865, bigger battery, and only falls short of the pixel 5 in 2 areas, it's running Android 10 currently and it only has 6 gigs of RAM. It's also priced at $699.

The doorway to entry on this phone needed to be about a hundred bucks cheaper.

I mean, yes, I'll agree with you about that. however, with the Pixel 5 specifically, I'm not so sure that they're fixing five is positioned as a mid-range phone that's what Google has the Pixel 4 right, and the 4A 5G for the right? I mean as far as a flagship device, the Pixel 5 has 8 gigs of RAM and a lot of the higher end specs for a cheaper price. At least, that's how I'm looking at it...

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 then you've got the five, which has the exact same SOC as the 4a 5g, Is partially made of slightly better components, adds wireless charging and 2 gigs of RAM, reduces the screen size (from the 4a 5g), And they priced it $200 more. In my mind those numbers just don't add up. With the 865, priced at $800 this phone would have been a decent flagship. But at $700 with the $765 g it's in a very awkward spot that is going to appeal to pixel fan boys who need an upgrade but honestly not many others.

And as a point of transparency, I'm very much so a pixel fanboy. But upgrading to the five from the 4 or 4XL seems absolutely pointless unless you really need a better battery and don't like the forehead of the 4, And those people on the Pixel 3 seem like the upgrade would be more of a lateral move than an actual upgrade.

I have a 3aXL that I've had for about a year and the battery still lasts me all day. I'm thinking that eventually I'll get it, but I'd like to wait a few months for a better deal as well as reading some of the reviews.

When I buy the 5. I will be spending about $300 less than my 3XL from two years ago. For me there are improvements across the board, even with the 765.
I see a bunch of posts of people saying they will wait for discounts and Black Friday. My take on that is if I'm willing to wait for a discount, then I am content with what I have, so what's the point?

I'm perfectly fine with paying $700 for the 5.

 

[vhl71]

Not sure what people want Google to do in terms of pricing. Last year pixel 4 XL was priced at CAD 1259 for 128gb and this year it's at CAD800

For me it's never about specs. How it functions with what it has. Having used a lot of iPhones, I always compare the pixel against how iPhone works. For me with this price it's a no brainer. And pixel 5 probably will beat iPhone on camera which is one of the main reasons i switched from iPhone 11 pro.

My dilemma is whether Google will discount pixel 5 for black Friday like they did in precious years. Otherwise i would've ordered yesterday

I pre-ordered the sage Pixel 5. My OG Pixel stopped working last week. I have been using a Nokia 3.1 in the mean time. I am very excited to get my hands on 5.

Beautiful beautiful looking phone you'll have there!

If the phone was $100 less, there would be folks who complain that it's not $200 less. I'm thinking $699 was a good price.

 

[Bla1ze]

There's nothing in the Pixel 5 that serves as a must-have for me to move away from my P4XL.

Yes, absolutely correct! You're right logically and rationally speaking, even if the phone were 80 bucks cheaper people would be complaining that it's not $300 cheaper! That's why I take everything with a grain of salt when reviewers come in except the YouTubers that we all follow.

It's fine if they don't expect to sell a lot or compete with other phones.

It's all good.. You still always find phones better bang for the buck and others priced higher.. I always say you do you... There is no wrong when you happy...
