Google’s strategy with the Pixel line has shifted a lot over the past couple of years. In 2020, we saw a big move from the company. It released three devices in around the mid-range. For the first year since its inception, Google hasn’t released a flagship Pixel. Why? Watch the video to find out!

Still rocking nexus 6p wth android 11! hehe 😀
I think the 4 was on a wrong path.
It didn’t have all the bells and whistles of its competitors (big everything), and lacked very useful features (decent battery, bright display).
Now they understand that their customers have different requirements and addressing those better will be the key to success.
Smaller screens and rear fingerprint sensor are quite unique these days and very practical.
Regarding the camera, I hope they use same sensors and similar lens as 2020 Sonys.
I would have purchased a 5XL had there been one! For now I’ll just stick wit my 3XL
I could buy a 4a or pixel 3 for $200 off facebook. Same phone.
They just need to upgrade their camera hardware(same 12 megapixel resolution but a bigger sensor), make a slit for the ear piece speaker and make their own chipset so the price can stay relatively low yet flagship worthy
And if they can find a way to bring back their great face unlock option from pixel 4 without that bezel, even better
And one more thing: they should have all 3 cameras(wide. Ultra-wide and telephoto)
Had nexus and the pixels. After seeing them re-released the pixel 4 and called it the pixel 5.
I had to go the one plus 8 pro route.
Sounds like Apple, mid-range proprietary hardware and native software to utilize the hardware to the fullest, creating a smooth experience
I’m still perfectly happy with my Pixel 3, to me a new pixel 5 would be great.
4:57 Another Fossil Hybrid HR fan? I had a Galaxy Watch but found that I was always using faces with hands. I traded the fancy Samsung in for the Fossil and I love it! Perfect blend of watch + basic smart functions.
Still enjoying my 3a XL too.
👎🏻 To The Pixel Line.
Google Should Have STAYED With The,
NEXUS LINE‼️😠
THERE IS NO REASON THEY “CAN’T”
BE THE BEST AT BOTH,
HARDWARE, AND SOFTWARE.
THE IMPRESSION THEY SEEM TO WANT TO PUT FORTH , IS
“WE DON’T GIVE A DAMN” .
OK THEN GOOGLE, AFTER WAITING “TOO” LONG, I’LL SIMPLY MOVE ON❗

I think the narrative presented is incorrect. Pixel 1 & 2 were value-oriented and that changed with 3. So 5 is a return to their roots. You can see this with the pricing alone. The 3s weren’t /that/ different from the 2s, and yet Google hiked the prices… mainly because other flagships were going up in price I’m guessing
2016: Pixel/XL $649/769
2017: Pixel 2/XL $649/849
2018: Pixel 3/XL $799/899
2019: Pixel 4/XL $799/899
2020: Pixel 5 $699
(inflation not represented)
I have had a Pixel XL and a Pixel 3. I’m not displeased with the performance of the Pixel Series, outside the constant change of the UI. I was also very happy with the nexus line as well. I hope with how they are making standard pixels and the a models that they keep the a’s as mid-range and start making high-end Pixels again. I have noticed that even Apple is taking advantage of having a range of iPhones instead of just making flagships with the 12 and Google should too.
Did anyone else cringe at 3:42 seeing the phone face-down on rocks?
I bought the 5 it is my first pixel after always buying 1200$ and up phones. Didn’t like it for the first 2 days but now I think it’s a great phone. It just works really well. The only thing I wish it had is a brighter screen. But other than that it’s great. Battery life is amazing
I don’t know how long it takes to fully charge it from 0 to 100 because it’s always at least at 50 percent after a full day and I charge it at night while I sleep
2010: “What I want from a smartphone is good performance, a clean UI and great battery life” 2020: “Please for the love of god can someone make a decent phone with good battery life?”
No more $1000 ‘flagships’ please, Google. I bought a new Pixel 3a XL a few months ago for less than half of that and it’s a superb phone.
Love the pixel 5
Pixel & especially Samsung need to start supporting there flagship device’s software as long as Apple. The 6s from 2015 is still receiving updates where as the S9 and Pixel 2 have stopped despite still being technically capable…
699 isn’t exactly cheap considering the built quality of the phone
Business Opportunity in Ruvol
I have invented a Board Game [still unpublished and not yet out in the market] that I believe is guaranteed to be as challenging and exciting as CHESS. I called it “RUVOL.”
It is my hope that one day Ruvol may surpass chess as the “Number One Board Game in the World.”
The weakness of chess is it always starts in fixed positions that the opening moves become “memorizable.” In fact, not a few have so mastered the moves that they can play against their opponents “blindfolded.” It is for this very reason that the great Bobby Fischer introduced his so-called “Fischer Random Chess,” where the starting position of the pieces is “randomized” to make the memorization of openings impracticable. Fortunately, it is also for this reason that I invented Ruvol where “every game” has been calculated to be a challenging one to play.
HOW IS RUVOL PLAYED and HOW YOU CAN MONETIZE IT?
I detailed everything in my YouTube video. Here is the link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jcqth0m3-R0
BIG MONEY POTENTIAL IN RUVOL!
It is worthwhile to note that the people who play chess will be the same people who will play Ruvol. In my Google search, I learned there are around 800 million chess players in the world. Even just a small percentage of these 800 million is good enough to earn big money from Ruvol either as an ONLINE GAME BUSINESS or as a PHYSICAL PRODUCT DISTRIBUTOR.

I just hope we will at least have 1 Pixel lineup that doesn’t have major hardware/software issues down the line. If I recall correctly, there were a couple class action lawsuits regarding certain pixel devices, along with some famous tech YouTubers calling out their Pixel phone’s performance has gotten slower over time.
Now the new hotness seems to be the Camera/camera app acting weirdly for older Pixel devices.
E
only a 1080p Screen when the Samsung Galaxy S21 ultra has a WQHD 1440p screen. Also the midrange chipset was a big turn off. When I buy a device, I want the best even if I am not going to use some of the higher end features. For me its all about extravagance and being able to say, “well I can do X, you can’t”. Its about consuming as much as possible just because I can.
