I have pixel 5 and 6. I got tired of my six only lasting half a day without needing a charge so I switched back to the pixel 5 with lineage os. I can routinely get 2 days worth of normal use on a single charge plus I prefer the smaller form factor. An SD slot would be nice, I've got 100+gb of FLAC music on my phone.
I'd trade my pixel 7 pro back for my old 5 in a heartbeat (were it not destroyed). Besides the better form factor and better android 11 UI on the pixel 5, which are admittedly subjective, the pixel 5 can do several things the pixel 7 pro cannot:
be used outdoors in summer (or in direct sunlight anytime),
get a through a full day without having to charge,
includes a better fingerprint sensor (more reliable, has capacitive gesture, doesn't spit out blinding light, more ergonomic position),
includes a far better screen (curved edges with persistent glare are the literal worst - not to mention how breakable they are).
be placed on a surface without a case and without sliding around on some stupid frictionless and delicate glass back panel.
