Google Pixel 5A 5G 128GB 6GB RAM Factory Unlocked (GSM Only | No CDMA - not Compatible with Verizon/Sprint) International Version - Black

If you don't want to sink $500+ for the Pixel 6 series, this phone is great! For privacy and security folks, GrapheneOS works like a charm on this phone. No issues.Battery life is great, apps are snappy and responsive, camera is good. Also, most importantly, still has a headphone jack.

The got completely dead. NO power, a 100% dark screen, and it doesn't charge even by using different charging cables or plugs. A complete mess. I would never buy any Google product again.

I was super excited to by this phone after my pixel 4A 5G which I really loved and this one was supposed to be the same and waterproof.ProsAmazing cameraGoogle featuresConsPhone is heavier as it has a metal case and harder to keap in handcannot turn off the photo and screenshot sound( turnes out that phones made in japan have this in hard part, and it is impossible to change).It's off button is realy hard to press.

It's honestly such a step up from what I'm used to, bottom of the barrel, hardly able to use it without going unresponsive. But I decided to really splash out on a phone that I know that will last a while longer and enjoy using it.It's got a headphone jack! Something I didn't even know modern phones come with, happy it does.128 gigs of storage and Google cloud, it's practically unlimited!It's snappy, and has enough ram to comfortably game and have a thing or two in the background.Battery life isn't the best, but it lasts almost throughout the day, and if you can't, a 20 minute quick charge will definitely help.Solid phone, solid build quality, wish it had a better battery.

I purchased this phone in 2022 and it died yesterday.The good:This phone worked throughout the years in terms of 5G, wifi, LTE, calling, texting, browsing the web, watching videos, having literally 100s of tabs on google chrome. Overall pretty good experience with the phone.Weird behavior(accounts for like 10% of phone experience overall):sometimes the phone would lag and be unresponsive/freeze for a few moments like it was loading or doing something in the background. i think it was downloading updates or something im not sure. it would do bursts of unresponsive around once a week on average.one time close to before it died on me the calling stopped working i only found out because someone told me they called me and it didnt work. i fixed it by restarting the phone (maybe left it on too long? it was on for a week max?)When it died:so one day i went to sleep and when i woke up the phone screen did not turn on. the phone itself works(it vibrates when i press buttons) but the screen is just completely black. i had read later that the pixel 5a has a known motherboard issue so yea it might of died because of that. the phone was under me when i woke up so maybe i rolled on it, but there were no new scratches or cracks so im not so sure.stray ending thoughts:im thinking of buying a samsung s23 ive read it is reliable and pretty good as well.this phone costed me ~$500 and lasted 3 years, thats ~$166 per year, maybe good?Summary:this is a good phone but it might randomly die on you because of a known motherboard issue.

After 3 years with the LG flagship LG G6+, that cost me a lot of money and was stuck on the Android 8 version (because of US Cellular), I decided to try a high mid-range phone. After reading some reviews, I decided to abandon LG and go to Google Pixel 5A.And what I can tell you is that I am more than happy with this phone.1st of all the fingerprint reader works way better than the LG G6+ ( this one stopped working after a few days).Regarding autonomy, it's been a while since I found myself in a situation where I no longer had to worry about recharging my phone for a whole day.And finally, for the price, the performance and general experience far exceed that of the LG G6.Verdict, no need to buy a flagship to have a very good phone

Good phone with good camera until it died after about a year and half. The screen just suddenly went blank during a call. Checked online and found out it's a common issue with Pixel 5a. They all have faulty motherboards that would eventually die. No way to turn your phone on, no repairs whatsoever. No ways to retrieve your data directly from the phone also.

I used this phone as my daily driver before recycling it in my business. It is probably the best value for money I have ever spent. I t has serious staying power and it never misses a beat. I don't like big phones however I may make an exception and consider buying another one.
