Pixel line should have an ultra version and call it “spec chaser” for us die hard enthusiast. Imagine a google Pixel 5 spec chaser that’s for me!
Hoping you’re right! I’m planning to get a new phone to the end of the year and the colour reproduction of pixel cameras have always been appealing to me and my needs (accurate colour reproduction due to photographing some artwork), let’s hope Google won’t disappoint!
Sure hope they have a bigger display. 6.3 will not cut it.
Google had their chance. Nice os software to point, but no business being in the hardware game.
Good thing I stuck with my pixel 3a, I’ll wait and see how Google handles this, I got no problems with my current Pixel
Is it just me thinking thus„ but why can’t Google just copy a phone like the One + 8 pro but put their own cameras and software in it and keep it the same price as One plus and then they got a winning formula? It’s not hard, I just don’t get how they keep making such strange design decisions that effect the performance of the phone, and the want for people to buy it, especially when you have the knowledge and power of Google.
They better add an ultrawide camera this time.
Google needs to get at least their a line devices to carriers like Metro, Boost, Cricket, etc. Those carriers attract people that want cheaper service, why not put a good cheap phone in their view. Metro has the the most potent iPhone in its line up, no reason Google should be passing them up.
Why these people dig advancely in codes and try to solve hints to get what chipset or camera sensor is going to be used by a company?
I mean they can wait !!
There are tonnes of smartphones in Android..
Nowadays phones are not for talking/messaging but it’s a business
I still haven’t been hard pressed to upgrade from my pixel 2.( No 5G isn’t worth it yet) These smart phones come out every year as a gimmick. I haven’t found anything I needed to do on my 2 I can’t do.… games, photos, etc etc. I honestly don’t know what people are expecting from phones anymore. It’s time for the next technologicall breakthrough
Watching on my Pixel 3
I’m just out here begging for a compact flagship that doesn’t cut corners or have dogshit battery life.
The pixel has always been too expensive for the masses, google should go back to their nexus roots — $300 phones and $200 tablets.
PIXEL 5 price = 649$ probably.
How will it look when iPhone SE will be more than twice as fast than pixel 5???
Yes Google will mess this up.
Google should hire other companies to make the hardware, oppo would be perfect
I just need one thing in the new Google Pixel (5). “ULTRA WIDE ANGLE CAMERA”.
Why does google always need to spec low to boast about their software…nobody cares…pure performance is everything.…even apple is going for a 5nm chip and google is out their bottlenecking their phones…just grow up google…people are ready to spend huge deal of cash on phones these days…like wtf is wrong with all of you anyway?
Google should consider using a 5G capable Exynos processor on the Pixel 5. Yep, I said it first.
I’ll get if A it has a battery life that last 16 hours and B they bring back the finger print scanner back and C they don’t price it at iPhone or s20 price
what about a ir blaster
I’d honestly be very disappointed if Pixel 5 turns out to be a mid-range phone, because I just want a flagship stock Android phone from Google 🙁 And it’s sad to know that I’d be among the customer group that Google gives up on in order to target the “mid-range” customer base
If its 765G, then lower price and ultra wide camera will make a very good pixel 5
I got a wishlist nothing that Google couldn’t manage with its vast money and machine learning ai, 120hz screen , soli V2 , matte black finish, bigger battery and not some marketing nonsense of all day battery , 128gb storage, android os rebranded to Google OS and special pixel only features , get app developers to make apps that use the features on the phone ie soli or even face unlock nothing major
Who is going to pay $800 — $1000 for a mediocre phone in COVID-19 times? This is surreal.….
See I’m pretty happy with the 765. It’s good enough for everyday people. But I still gotta say I’m a bezel lover, and I won’t change to a Pixel unless they add expandable storage
Large Screen, Tank Battery Wide Angle Camera, Unlimited cloud, Exclusive Google features for Pixel ONLY, and you take can my money
Without Marc levoy I’m really disappointed
I wanted to buy the pixel 4 but was disappointed and now I have the iphone 11 pro and it‘s boring I hope google will make only good decisions this year
Pixel 5a
All true but what about the screen..
And them bezels.. yuck
Any idea when the Pixel 4a or 5 will be released? It keeps changing?
If Pixel 5 is affordable, I will gladly wait — upgrading from 3XL to 5.
iphone users don’t mind buying the same phone every single year at a higher price but expect Google sell their phone for ice cream price
With Google’s software for me I could care less if they don’t use the 865processer. The 765 will be good enough, plus go find a better 📷, you won’t? The software will make the difference! One thing Google does best is optimize it’s software!
This is why I switched back to samsung. Repping the fold 2 its no joke
How do you make a slide show with your pics that use the whole screen and not just a tiny square and how do you post without it taking forever?
What are the main differences between the pixel 3xl and pixel 5xl?
