I have been using the Google Pixel 5 for three weeks now. I bought it in a nearby foreign country.... The phone fulfills all my wishes and I am super happy with it! Finally, once again a Pixel that is affordable. Since the Pixel 1 I have used OP devices and now finally made the step back again.
The performance is unique and this despite the "bad" processor. Everything runs smoothly and there are no jerks! The battery is great. With a "screen on time" of 6 hours, the battery is still at 30-40%! The size is just right, the device is not too big (like the OP by now) and at the same time not too small with a 6 inch display. What of course still speaks for a Pixel are the monthly updates!
Unfortunately, there is also a BIG negative point. 5G does not work in Switzerland (Sunrise / Swisscom). As with other devices, there is no "certification" between the Swiss network operators and Google. Here you can find more on the topic and a good description: twitter.com/NetMonsterApp/status/1324488802254114816?s=19 Maybe someone has also made experiences with Salt?!
If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact me!
EDIT 08.12.2020: 5G should be supported by Sunrise / Swisscom from Q1 2021. You can find out more here: support.google.com/pixelphone/answer/10082009#certified_carr...

For me personally, it is exactly the right smartphone: no frills, powerful, functional and yet not without charm. As a computer scientist, I appreciate the slim design and straightforward functionality just as much as the fast updates for Android from Google. I previously had the Nexus 5 and the Pixel 2, for example, and I love the Pixel 5...

I've had every Nexus, and of course I'm excited about the Pixel line.
If you didn't know that it didn't have the very latest processor, you wouldn't notice it, because it's what you make of it, not what's in it. My mobile phone now has the same amount of RAM as my notebook... it's crazy :-)
It's very handy in size, I'm actually used to the Pixel 2 XL and then it's a bit of a change.
