I've had a Pixel 5 since it was released, and I can't oversell how great this phone is, and currently I can't think of any reason to move away from Pixel phones in the future. Now that the development of hardware has evened out, software features are what really distinguish a phone maker. My phone is nearly three years old and I'm still getting regular security updates, which was unheard of in Android phones a few years ago. Not only that, but I'm receiving new features all the time that Google is adding to the pixel line.
My phone battery recently started swelling to the point of separating the screen from the body of the phone. With any other phone I've had in the past, I would have immediately replaced it with a new phone since a 3 year old phone is ancient anyway. This time I bought a battery replacement kit and fixed my phone and expect to have another couple years of use out of this device.
I agree with everything you said...
Just wish they'd bring back the finger print sensor on the back of the phone and the headphone jack :(
The Pixel 5 was pretty much the perfect phone. Perfect size, perfect weight, rear fingerprint sensor, great software. I "upgraded" to the Pixel 7 last year but I kind of wish I hadn't.
I've used Google phones since the first Nexus. When I leave, I will be switching to a Linux phone with video out and desktop mode. Until then, the Pixel line will do.
