I hate it. Give me a Samsung anytime
This man is looking like William Shakespeare
First and my last phone. Worst phone I ever have. Phone's heating up very bad and shutdown the LTE signal, becomes very laggy. Nice camera shots but becomes useless when you take continuous shots as it heats up.
By far the worst phone I've ever had, tried leaving review for it on Google and they have hidden the review button, so slow slower then my old nexus 5 laggy slow will lose internet totally randomly, as t least 20 times per day it will crash to just a blank screen with my wallpaper on it garbage phone never again google
Who in their right mind puts the headphone jack on the top? What where they thinking?
Watched on my Motorola Edge S ✌️🇵🇸❤️🙋🏼♂️🌈💖
I will get this phone in the mail and put a screen protector and a Pokémon case on it. 👌🏾🆒
I've had the 5A for about 6 months now and I like it very much for all the reasons stated. However, there is one serious problem with it that has recently come to light. Some of them overheat very easily and will even turn themselves off quite quickly. Mine started to do this a few months ago. It was in the sun but the temperature was only 75F and I was only using it at the time for casual browsing. Suddenly I got an overheating message and that it was shutting down. It happened several times after that and I saw online that other people (not all) were having the same problem.
Note I am not a game user or heavy user. I use the browser, GPS, and a few apps and camera (not even video that much) and that's it. I also saw online that if you are under warranty (I am) you can replace your phone. I contacted Google and after doing some tests they suggested, including deleting some apps(!!), they are sending me a new phone. Am very glad to do that as today was 73F and I was in the shade, when my phone turned off due to overheating. I am waiting for my new phone and assume it will be better. If it is then I endorse 5A with the above warning. If the new one has the same problem then I will be replacing my 5A with a more reliable phone.
Nice shirt. Thanks for trying
I don't have one of those sofas or loveseats that have the built in wireless charging so don't really need a phone thats capable of it yet
I'm curious if folks, after 8 months, are still satisfied with the 5a. I'm currently an iPhone user and looking to make a move. My last Android phone was quite some time ago…the Droid RAZR Max. My only hesitancy with Android is the perception I have of the devices slowly starting lag over time. I say "perception" because I can't speak from first hand experience, just only what I've read. I'm reading and watching videos about the Pixel 6 being "not recommended" from several folks (MKBHD for one).
I don't like the 4a 5g or 5a 5g, they're too big. The pixel 3A was the perfect size, I don't want my phone to be any bigger than that. I actually downgraded from a 4a 5g back to my pixel 3a.
If I want a bigger screen I'll just cast to my TV, laptop, tablet, or w/e bigger screen is in front of me. I like smaller phones in my pocket and in no scenario where I would want a bigger screen do I not have access to a bigger screen I can cast too….
I really dislike how all phones are getting huge… Like I hike and offroad on atv's and stuff, and kayak… The bigger the phone is the harder time I have not breaking it…
I don't like google but the pixel series is just one of the best since they have an unlockable bootloader
I'm waiting for the Google Pixel 6A
Thank you for this great review. I was eyeing the pixel 5a for a while . Then I watched reviews of the Nokia 8.3 5g and decided to pull the trigger at $345 on Amazon . It plays well with all the 5g nets ..it’s huge ..it’s gorgeous .. good photos ..60hz refresh is fine for me .. not IPS rated for moisture ..8 GB Ram /128 GB ‘expandable’ storage ..just a lot for more as I need a better all around from my current 7 yr old iPhone 7 Plus ..I will watch for the 5g c band ..in 5 yrs I will switch again. If I get antsy I may just buy the second phone and live a dual life using call forwarding and an esim to go back and forth
Buying google products is the end of your free will.
I dont need 5g speeds
Got one and the touchscreen was frustratingly glitchy. Returning it.
re-used same chipset from last year? come on google
Not gonna lie, I've been using the Iphone XR for about two years but I low key want to go back to Android, good lord I miss the customizability
Hey is it normal that I feel the vibration on the back side of the phone and even on the screen ( a little) when I play music?
i want a phone the size of pixel 3.
good video, this dude needs a bad hair cut
