Pros & Cons
Pros
The pixel is a good value for those who want a reliable phone with a great camera. The battery life exceeds my usage demands and it fits in my pocket better.
Runs a lot faster and smoother than the 3xl. Looks like the 6 might drop soon tho. Google makes amazing phones and this flagship pixel 5 is one of them.
Charges on any wireless/qi pad. Lots of shortcuts and button options. No headphone jack, but dongle for non usb-c phones to transfer over files and data. No datum app, but you can use it as a shortcut.

We the people are not your test subjects for glitchy phones. Phone calls work sporadically. No ability to categorize or group contacts together for texting.
Navigation is deathly annoying. Autocorrect is non-existent.
