mykeyb Posted October 3, 2020 Share Posted October 3, 2020 So I have ordered the Pixel 5 from mobiles.co.uk £125 up front and £35 a month on Vodafone. Possible £50 cashback through Too cashback. I am not sure why Google called the 4A 5G that. Why didn't they just add wireless charging and call it the 5XL? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well the scroll up from the bottom appears slightly different but the main thing in some apps there is no "back" button. Currently it doesn't feel as easy for me as on the Pixel 3. I will have a comparison tomorrow if I get time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can't blame the phone if the app developers have removed the back button I've been using swipe from the left for back for long enough that I don't remember when I started. It's the same on Chromebooks too. Which version of Android did you move from? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Never tried swiping so will make an effort to try it out. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Next you'll be telling me that swiping right is used for more than just Tinder. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest av1 Posted December 19, 2020 Share Posted December 19, 2020 I know a few posters got the pixel 5 on release, how you finding it? My contract is up in a couple of months and it's the only phone I've got my eye on. I've read that it hasn't got the highest end chip set, now that's not something that really concerns me, I'm not what you'd consider a power user. My only slight niggle is that my current handset (Huawei P30 standard) is still performing admirably so I'm just thinking that unless the P5 is a big step up that I'd be swapping for the sake of swapping.

It's great. I can't give you advice without knowing how you use your phone. I don't believe there is enough difference between phones to change unless you have an issue with your current phone.

I only use my phone for browsing and emails and stuff, and as I said, the Huawei is still going strong.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KenjiOgiwara Posted January 19, 2021 Share Posted January 19, 2021 Could really use some advice on my S20 work phone. Two weeks ago I started getting OS spam about activating 'find my phone'. I don't know what it's called in English unfortunately. It's called something like 'offline search'. I've tried every to use every google advice out there and it still pops up like every 15 min.
