Well is was a great 6 year run with Nokia Lumia Icon. That Icon went through hell and back, and I never had one issue with it. Loss of apps and Windows support kinda forced me to find an alternative. I researched cell phones for about two months before deciding on the Pixel 5. I didn't want a huge phone. I wanted something the same size as my old Icon. I'm not a power user so top tier hardware was not a huge deciding factor. The camera and the software was important in my choice of a new phone. It's really hard to walk away from that camera on the Icon. What I wanted was a solid mid tier phone.
You don't realize how far the tech in cell phones has progressed until you make an upgrade as I did. This phone is fast to say the least. I have to admit the old Icon had held it's own very well. Overall I'm extremely happy with the Pixel 5. The battery life is fantastic. The finger print reader is awesome. The camera is right there with the old Icon's. The Android ecosystem will take me a little getting used to. But so far, it has been a pretty easy transition. All of the apps I had on my Icon are available for the Pixel 5 on Google Play. Can't say enough about this "little" Pixel phone except, I'm very happy with my decision.
A picture for size comparison. Pixel on the left, Nokia Icon on the right. The Pixel 5 is only about a 1/4' taller than the Nokia Icon.
