battery life confirmed improved way better... personally hit 9hrs+ SOT left with 20%-ish end of the day.

you will feel camera processing slightly slower then P4/XL as it doesn't have Visual Core.

all in all, its worth to move on from 4XL for it back fp sensor, better battery life and UWA.

Any major disadvantages for the Pixel 5 for you? Or better in every aspect that matters?

9 hours SOT is crazy. I can barely get 4 hours on pixel 4a.

I can get 8 hours on 4a. If u can only hit 4hr sot on 4a and considering to change to p5 for battery life, suggest you drop the idea ba.

How did you get double of what I do?
Unless u on wifi all the time?

I'm always surfing net on my pixel 4xl, so just wanna ask about the experience of it on the pixel 5.

By the way, is the screen brighter than 4xl?

If you're mainly surfing net on your phone, you won't feel a difference whether using Pixel 5 or 4 XL. Pixel 5 will have far better battery life. But do note that only the 4 XL has the Ambient EQ display.

My old 3A dropped from table height, splat flat on floor and the screen bled purple and blue. It was wearing a Speck case. Count me in as one of those waiting for stock on UK Amazon.

Edit: Dug out my old Pixel (1) XL from the store room, amazing, old faithful still works!
