    Nice SFF phone!

    I am replacing my old Pixel 3 with this Pixel 5. Small Form Factor is what I like, slightly larger than the Pixel 3 makes this sized right for me. Pixel cameras have always been awesome, this one is very good and it uses multiple lens like more modern phones. Although, I had a original Pixel XL with a single lens camera and that was the best ever. The Pixel 5 battery life is way better than the Pixel 3, not days long like the newer Samsung models, but the 5 battery life is very usable throughout the day without worry to find a place to charge. Some people don't like the plastic material used for the back of the phone, without a case it is easy to grip but I typically use skin type cover so the phone material doesn't matter to me. Overall, if feels lighter than the Pixel 3. Paid $300 for a "very good" condition phone with a 1 year Ebay refurbished warranty. On Amazon, the price is about $100 more for the same condition without a warranty. The condition itself could be been rated "excellent". No scratches on the screen or on the body of the phone. One thing, this phone may have had a nano coating on the screen, when I first received it and cleaned it, you could see the where the screen was swiped, I've experienced this before and I use Flitz polish. It removed the remaining nano coating and the screen is perfect with no scratches. I then put a soft screen saver as I like these the best. I am very happy with my purchase and would not hesitate to purchase from the vendor or Ebay again.

    Basics & Essentials

    The Google Pixel 5 is not the most powerful nor the most technologically advanced phone. However, it is reasonably priced for what it does as it is not as expensive as the more powerful flagships but offers a device that covers the basics & essentials of smartphone usage (Long battery life, Reliable Call and data signal, enough audio prowess with regards to calls and media, fantastic cameras for still and video photography, great screen in terms of size, brightness, and clarity, powerful enough to multi-task and play games without being laggy and jittery. All that being in a more manageable, smaller overall size). Add to that the simpler and lighter stock Android software that is full of useful features and you get a great phone that is a very easy recommendation.

    Pixel 5 review after 10 days

    I have been getting over 2 days on the battery, and even 3 days once so far. I was surprised it doesn't have a SD Card slot, but the Google Picture Management is working well for me so far. I wish the online Google Picture offered a free 128GB instead of just 16GB I like the fingerprint sensor on the back for unlocking and it has worked extremely well. It is fast and responsive. Still a lot to learn getting alarm and ring tones like I am more used to, and I haven't done much with the Camera, which is one of the features I picked it for. No negatives I have found.

    Smaller package, great phone and value!

    Replacement for my suddenly obsolete Samsung J7 (thanks FCC!). Wanted a smaller phone than all of the other 5G new models and the Pixel 5 was perfectly sized. Shipped fast, fair price, works fine, no scuffs, marks or cracks, basically brand new except for outer packaging. Battery charging was wonky at first, but must have a learning mode, now it's great. Charges fast and battery life is a couple of days for me. I have some issues with the Google apps, but not really hardware or phone related. All in all, I'm extremely pleased so far. Glad I went with virtually new old stock, instead of used.

    Great phone

    Just make sure that you change the settings to have the 3 button control, like most other androids, as it makes navigation much easier. The new gesture navigation is a HUGE pain and would make you want to return the phone if you don't realize you can change it to three button settings. They should give the option to chose in phone setup rather than automatically start with gesture command which is extremely rough to use for even advanced users. Other than that great phone, Great battery life extremely happy with purchase.

    Good phone, good deal.

    First of all, the price is good. Next, the battery life is better than the iPhone 13 mini which I've been using. I think that there's no need to make new phones in this price range, when this one exists, unless they can make it in smaller form factor. I bought this to check out GRAPHENEOS. Now, this is my daily driver. Display is great. There are few minor scratches on the screen, but that's okay.

    Exactly as described

    The phone arrived with a small patch of scratches in a corner of the screen, not unexpected with a "B grade" used phone. I installed an LK tempered glass screen protector, a clear Spigen Air Cushion case, and now the phone looks and performs like new. Battery life, camera quality, and overall phone performance are outstanding. I am completely satisfied.

    Awesome camera, battery and display

    The Pixel 5 is the best phone that I have ever used. It is small and light the performance is excellent, the photos are the best in any phone, and the battery life lasts forever. If you want a great android phone, here it is.

    Good phone

    So far so good. Battery life is very good. I'm having the usual struggles going from a Samsung to a Pixel, but there is lots of help out there.
