pixel as a worthy upgrade from a 5x?

[LyricalNonsense]

Based on the available and new information, do you believe the new pixel phone will be a good upgrade from a 5x standpoint.

 

[Aquila]

Yes, from what we know so far ... but also around double the price, so it had better be?

We're still in the leaked rumors phase. I don't think any of here can answer that question.

Officially, we've seen an ad with nice pictures, a wallpaper website and a leaked Pixel launcher that may function differently on a Pixel. At this point, I cannot definitively say it is better than the 5x. I sure hope to God that it is not "worse".

When you compare cost against upgrades, pixel not worth it. But lets wait and see what Google actually offers up.

Anything is an upgrade over the 5X.. Have it and hate it! I am back using my Nexus 5 until the Pixel is released and yes, I think the Pixel will be well worth it regardless of what the haters say..

How so?

It is a huge upgrade. The build quality and specs are miles better

I'm hoping the smaller pixel will be just the right amount smaller than the 5x. I tried and don't like large phones and this 5x is still a smidge too large for me

Me too. I have the HTC One M8 and I´ve been thiking about upgrading but I also hate big phones. They are not ergonomic to use safely with one hand...and I have big hands.

Yeah I used to be a 5.5-6.0 inch fan. Now I'm looking for a smaller device. I'm currently using an s7 edge and I find that my thumb actually gets sore from having to stretch it to reach the home and back buttons. The 4.7 inch moto x 1st gen was a dream to use one handed, I miss that.

The 5X was a let down in terms of performance for me but I'll hang onto it until next year at least. Most people prefer AMOLED it seems but I don't like seeing screen burn-in so I try and avoid it. If this was at a comparable price though, I might consider the upgrade.

If you satisfied with the performance of your current phone I can see no reasons to switch.

Other than the being better than the 5x in every possible way yeah that's pretty much accurate.

 

[fklein68]

Specs look great - disappointed that its smaller than my 5X. Same size or slightly larger screen with smaller bezels would have been my preference. I tried the 6P for a while but found it just too large to fit in jean pockets.

 

[HollowGrapeJ98]

Yes, it is a big upgrade. Will cost you though.

 

[dpham00]

Yup . big upgrade for big bucks. Google is charging $120 just to go from 5" fhd to 5.5" QHD and a 25% battery increase . Even the iPhone gives you a lot more bang for the same $120 increase
