    I have thought about switching from Samsung Galaxy to Pixel on and off. Seeing the Pixel 5 specs, that just might tempt me enough to go for it instead of the Galaxy S20. I've been using Samsung phones for quite a while and really enjoy them, but the Pixel 5 looks to have some nice features. Great article, thank you for putting it up, I might not of even known about the Pixel 5 for a while without this Cool.

    If you're a big phone camera buff, then the Pixel is rather compelling. Google has done some incredible things with AI and software to really leverage the hardware. I've had the Pixel 3a since release and it's a solid device so I have high hopes for the 4a 5G as soon as 5G is a bit more saturated.

    Have you looked at the S20 FE? It seems to be mostly the same as the S20 but at a friendlier price. I generally go the mid-tier route because I like to buy a new phone every year without feeling like I'm being fleeced.

    The price tag caught my eye, I don't go after the latest and greatest and wait till something I have breaks before I replace it. Just old school that way. I'm still using a Galaxy S8+ that I bought right before the S9 was launched if that tells ya something lol. My S8+ still works excellent, never broke the screen thus far and the battery life still is great so no need for me to upgrade atm.

    With more and more things being made easier with Google and synchronized like your calendar for example, I would enjoy the Pixel 5, but I might not get it till there's a Pixel 6 or later Tongue Out. Gotta get every penny's worth of my S8+ hehe.

    Once you go Pixel you'll never want to go back.

    I have a 3a and I've owned Windows, iOS, and Android phones. My 3a has been the best in terms of experience and updates out of all of them.

    One perk to them is you get two years of Security & OS updates. So since you tend to hold on to your phones for awhile that's a bonus for you. Your phone will be protected and you'll get the same updates as the new phones. I'm going to hold onto my 3a until the 5a comes out next year.
