Honestly if there was someway to rebuy the Pixel 2XL and extend the security updates another 3 years I'd do it. The P5 is a solid phone and with the speakers in my 2XL pretty much shot I didn't have much of choice.
thing I LOVE
-Pure Android experience, keeps on delivering, if you have just one other gadget in the
google eco system you know what I'm talkin about
-Wireless charging as well as that reverse wireless charging
-The Screen, especially those even bezels
-The battery, easily back to charging every 2 days.
Things I'm not a fan of
-The size. Google can't seem to get out of their own way, why the **** would you make a bigger phone but make it worse spec size. I honestly don't know why I'm now accustomed to bigger phones, i don't even have big hands. Holding the P5 I feel like the hulk though
-The speakers. The sound is great on the speakers, I'm just not a fan of the top speaker being under the glass. Depending on your volume(talk or listen) the glass gonna vibrate
- the selfie hole punch, a bit nitpicky but it's outlined with a black ring, so it stands out against other background besides black.
For me, this is essentially the Nexus 5x after buying the nexus 5 twice. A bridge gap phone.
It'll keep me satisfied for the time being until they release something I won't mind owning for 3-4 years. Looks like I'm in the annual buying market for the time being.
