I purchased a Pixel 5 from another seller that was marketed as "new in box", but had over 250 charge cycles. I returned that one and went to a different seller, CrownProducts, and theirs was confirmed to be a new phone.

Unlocked mobile sim
Great battery

Good:
- 90hz screen: It's wonderfully smooth. The phone feels incredibly responsive and the difference between this and the 2 XL screen is very noticeable. Gives you just as much usable space as the 2 XL, but with so much less weight/bevel.
- Pixel software: It's as usual, excellent. No bloatware whatsoever and none of the "slow feeling" you get over time on other Android manufacturers, though of course this phone is still new to me.
- Camera: It's very good. Pay no mind to the concerns about the sensor--what matters is real-life usage, and the lack of an absolutely bleeding-edge sensor does not negatively impact the camera at all. See note about processing speed in below.
- Price/value: Closest competition in the price range Samsung S20 FE. Hardware wise, the Samsung gives more for the price, but it's still not worth it to me, because I like to hold onto my phones for 3+ years and the Samsung software just does not stay snappy and smooth for that long. Never mind that you have to deal with a bunch of preloaded bloatware on Samsung. The 4a and 4a 5G are nice and much cheaper, but you miss out on a 90hz screen + waterproofing + the more resilient screen, which are all very valuable to me.
Bad:
- Camera processing: The lack of a separate chip for processing images means that the time it takes for a picture to be visible in perfect quality after you take it is noticeable. It's not a problem at all if you're taking three or less pictures (or if you're not immediately checking to see what the picture looked like), but if you're taking a bunch at once, you may occasionally find yourself getting frustrated by the seconds it takes to actually be able to flip through all the pictures.
- Speaker quality: Not great, especially compared to the two front-facing speakers of the 2 XL. If you rely heavily on speakers for music you may want to look for another phone. I personally use headphones most of the time and the quality of the speakers is good enough for the occasional song, YouTube video, or podcast that I use it for.


I've owned many devices, the latest of which was the top 256 GB/12 GB RAM OnePlus 7 Pro that frankly pales in comparison to the Pixel in almost every way. The Pixel is smaller and lighter (personal preference I'll admit), has far better battery life (with normal use, I usually can get 24-28 hours out of my Pixel), the fingerprint sensor works every time, seems to take nicer, more dramatic pictures (despite the much older camera hardware) and generally feels snappier despite the slower SoC and lower performance storage (UFS 2.1 vs 3).
I appreciate that the phone also eschews many features I really don't care about or like, such as face unlock or those godforsaken abysmal in-display fingerprint sensors.
It's not perfect; the camera punch-out makes the status bar pretty chunky and I'd prefer it to be centered since by default, Android doesn't display anything there. It's also a little expensive as well especially when the 4a/5G exist. Finally, although my personal model does not exhibit it, some Pixel 5s have been found to have large gaps between the body of the phone and the display, particularly around the top-left corner.
Perhaps my biggest gripe is that I purchased it for Google Fi, but I don't get reception anywhere I should be able to as network switching doesn't seem to be working correctly. This may be more an issue with Fi and Android 11 - since I'm not entirely sure, I'm not going to take points away for it, but I feel people should be aware of it.
I'm extremely pleased with this phone. It packs more software features and battery life into a small package than pretty much any other phone on the market. I only wish it existed sooner.

Other than that, the phone is a great Android phone. A few hiccups here and there when loading a few websites (had to reload or go to home screen and back to the app for them to load/show).
Fingerprint reader is consistent.
The size of the phone is perfect for one hand, and its weight doesn't tire the hand out.
Within the first 30 minutes, the phone would force close all apps (it would do actions on its own). I wasn't able to figure out whether it was because I installed the screen protector before turning the phone on or maybe my fingers were causing the actions inadvertently/accidentally. Then again, the phone was installing 90+ apps and copying 1000s of photos from my old pixel to this new one at the same time. Point: a lot was happening within that first hour. I restarted the phone and it's been smooth ever since (with the exception that some websites just won't load properly, but nothing game-breaking).
The Pixel buds paired well, and I haven't experienced any issues within the first 24 hours.
The camera is good as always.
The new gestures are an upgrade, a bit of a curve to get used to, but once you get going it is better than the 3 button configuration from the previous pixels.
Battery life is good, too. Charges approximately 3% every 2 minutes. So you won't have to wait long.
Overall, a solid phone. You can't go wrong with this phone. I'm definitely enjoying it.
*****
Update: almost 20 days later.
Yesterday I spent the day working around the house. I had my phone and the Pixel buds playing music nearly continuously, all day, from 10AM until they died at 9PM (with a starting battery life of 85%). This is to give you an idea of how good the battery life is.


I have had a Pixel 2 for 3 years. The Pixel 2 has been the best phone I have ever had except for having a small battery and my unit had defective speakers which sucked battery at rate of 20% per hour from day 1. But I like the straight Android without the add-ons and modifications that other phone manufacturers make. I bought the Pixel 5 for the larger battery and just to have a new device.
I have only had it for 2 days so these are first impressions. First, the Pixel 5 is almost exactly the same overall size as the Pixel 2. However, the screen is an ever so tiny amount wider and is noticeably taller due to smaller borders around the screen. I like that because I don't like how big most phones have become.
Second, the Pixel 5 battery is about 42% larger that the battery in the Pixel 2. And, this unit is getting great battery life so far. The speakers don't seem to drain nearly as much battery as my Pixel 2.
Third, last year I tried a Pixel 4 but returned it due to it dropping the fingerprint for unlocking the phone and substituting face unlock which is far less convenient to use. The Pixel 5 returns to the fingerprint for unlocking and the fingerprint reader works magnificently, even better that it does in my Pixel 2 which itself worked very well.
Fourth, other than the above the Pixel 5 is the same as my Pixel 2 since the 2 already had been updated to Android 11. I like that Google updates the Android operating system in Pixels first, long before other manufacturers do.


Pros: better camera, cleaner/newer OS, faster updates, more RAM, tougher glass and case, a more reliable fingerprint reader.
Cons: smallish case/display size, an older gen processor. But both of these contribute to lower energy requirements and better battery life, which I knew going in.
I just received this phone a few days ago, and it has been a HUGE step up from the Moto X Pure, which topped out on Android 7.0 and has not been supported for years. Now that I see how in the dark I'd been, technology-wise, I will be updating to a new phone before the current one becomes un-supported, and not try to nurse an old phone for as long as possible. It's just not worth it in the long run, considering OS and security updates, and the potential incompatibility with newer apps.
My profile for context: mid-60's, not a power user / content streamer / social media consumer. I will likely upgrade to a Pixel XL if/when released in 4th quarter 2021 for easier reading of a larger display with older eyes.
So IMO, if you are considering this phone, you will not be disappointed. If you get it, I recommend getting these with it: the Spigen Ultra Hybrid clear case, and the Anker PowerWave II wireless charging stand; both have been outstanding accessories so far.



Google has a lot of tools and support for the first time setup.
SIZE
The Pixel 5 will seem small when the phone is sitting next to a Samsung S20 Fan Edition (FE) which is what I was also considering as my next phone. But, with that said, I did NOT want a HUGE phone as I upgraded from my 5 year-old Iphone 6S, and I really enjoyed the size of that phone SO, if you want a small phone, this is a great option!
CAMERA
The photos that it is able to take are great as well even in night mode. However, there is some small delay in processing the image data when looking at the photo for the first time.
After that, the pictures have really vivid color and so far I like them. If you are looking for phone for its camera capabilities, this phone might not be for you as it has the same camera sensor hardware as the Pixel 4a(somewhat outdated in my opinion).
Google primarily focused on the software backing up the camera sensor hardware, hence, the image processing time being a tiny bit slow.
ANDROID OS
So far it has been incredible. It taking some getting used to but, overall, no complaints.
BATTERY
Amazing! Mine lasts roughly 1.5 days between charges with push notifications on and relatively heavy use. No gaming yet so can't comment on that.


Cameras are Pixel awesome as advertised. Selfies and normal everyday pictures turn out so sharp and realistic. They are on the level with any flagship device.
This phone has blown me away with the quality for a so called mid range device. If you want a great phone that gives you everything you need for half the price of most then buy the Pixel 5.

But the phone compared to my 3XL pixel isn't that extra great in comparison. I had to learn to swipe left to get out of apps, but that may be the reason they did it to maximize the screen usage. And the resolution isn't that noticably different. I think the camera lighting does seem a bit lower in quality than my pixel 3XL, not sure if it's due to the fact I cannot control my HDR. But probably they expect folks to do some filtering in the photos app.
I think the size wasn't hard to get used to coming from an XL, the screen usage helps makes it feel like I"m still getting decent size fonts. Setup was smooth, and basically ran my apps decently since the Android 11 beta update kinda messed up a lot of my apps in the 3XL.


Phone value, 9+ of 10.
I can't afford the newest pixel, but I can afford this one, and I'm a fan of it.
Great deal from this seller, I hope it lasts, as it is a refurbished phone.
